ELK'S RUN: TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION DIGITAL RELEASE ON COMIXOLOGY BEGINNING 8/25
JOSHUA HALE FIALKOV AND NOEL TUAZON’S MUCH-DEMANDED CLASSIC OGN NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY
PORTLAND,
Oregon, Aug. 20 2015 – Oni Press, Portland’s premier independent comic
book publisher, announced today the weekly digital chapter release on
ComiXology of the upcoming Elk’s Run: Tenth Anniversary Edition, by Joshua Hale Fialkov, Noel Tuazon and Scott Keating. The 8-part weekly digital chapter release will begin August 25th and continue every week through October 13th, before the full physical release as a hardcover graphic novel on November 11th.
A vividly and viscerally illustrated tale of rural horror, Elk’s Run takes its place among the most chilling and affecting works of graphic fiction.The
debut collaboration of Eisner, Harvey, and Emmy nominated writer Joshua
Hale Fialkov and Harvey and Eisner nominated artist Noel Tuazon is back
a decade later and even more relevant. Elk’s Run: Tenth Anniversary Edition will
be a high-quality, gorgeous hardcover release of the landmark graphic
novel. Before the physical release on November 11th, fans can enjoy the
graphic novel in weekly installments via ComiXology. Oni Press is
pleased to be able to bring this classic back and to give it the new
readership it dearly deserves.
"In
it's original publication, we never got to tell the whole story in a
serialized format,” notes Fialkov. “It was always designed for that, and
I think the work Noel and I did on it is a wholly different experience
when read that way. I'm extremely grateful to Oni Press and to
ComiXology for a chance to share that story with readers serialized
weekly, and then, even better, we get a deluxe hardcover edition right
afterwards in November.”
Elk’s Run is
set in the small town of Elk’s Ridge, founded as a closed haven, dreamt
up by Vietnam veterans looking to create a utopia: a home without
violence, chaos, or corruption. And in the beginning, it seemed like it
might actually work. However, years later, the town has become a powder
keg. When a desperate bid for freedom results in the accidental death of
a child, the town must decide what terrible acts they are willing to
commit in order to preserve their way of life. And the youth of the
sleepy town—those who never chose to live that life—must forsake all
they know in order to stand up for what is right.
The hardcover physical release of Elk’s Run: Tenth Anniversary Edition can be pre-ordered now at comic shops with Diamond code JUL151481.
