From
the outside, Buckaroo, Oregon seems like a typical small town, but
there’s something that makes it extraordinary. The setting of NAILBITER
by Joshua Williamson (GHOSTED) and Mike Henderson (MASKS AND MOBSTERS), a
new graphic novel coming in October from Image Comics is the hometown
of sixteen of the world’s most heinous serial killers. Random chance?
FBI profiler Eliot Carroll didn’t think so, and his investigations led
him deep into Buckaroo’s secrets… where he disappeared without a trace.
Now,
Carroll’s best friend, army intelligence officer Nicholas Finch, has
come to Buckaroo in search of him. The most obvious suspect is Edward
“The Nailbiter” Warren — a psychopath acquitted of forty-five counts of
first degree murder. Warren may be the key to finding Carroll — as well
as the latest killer who has begun to menace Buckaroo.
“I’ve
always wondered ‘why, and how?’ What happens in a person’s life that
turns them into that kind of monster?” said writer Williamson of his
interest in serial killers in an interview at Multiversity Comics. “Is it an event or are they born that way? It’s part of what we explore in the overall Nailbiter story.”
“[Nailbiter]
really wended its way in directions we hadn’t predicted once sketches
and designs started being kicked back and forth,” said artist Henderson
of the creative process. “We both saw a twisting mystery though, rooted
under the town of Buckaroo and affecting everyone in it in different
(often horrible) ways.”
A mystery with the psychological horror of Hannibal and the surreal small-town claustrophobia of Twin Peaks,
NAILBITER VOLUME 1: THERE WILL BE BLOOD will be in comic book stores on
October 1 and in bookstores on October 14. It is specially priced at
only $9.99 and available for pre-order now.
