A Mind-Bending Murder Mystery on the Streets of LA in PROFANE #1
BANG! Meets Newburn in PROFANE
BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at PROFANE #1, the premiere issue of a brand new mind-bending murder mystery from comics legend Peter Milligan (Hellblazer, Enigma), veteran artist Raül Fernandez (Detective Comics, Justice League Dark), colorist Giada Marchisio, and letterer Jeff Eckleberry, that treads the precarious razor’s edge between reality and fiction. Coming to comic shops in June 2024.
Will Profane is a seasoned private eye, and solving murders in the sunbaked streets of Los Angeles is his daily bread. But something is strange about his latest case. Every clue leads him back to a world-famous crime novelist lying at the center of this mystery–and dangerous truths about Profane’s own life.
PROFANE #1 features main cover art by star artist Javier Rodriguez (House of Slaughter) and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Mike Deodato (Damn Them All) with Jão Canola, and Marguerite Sauvage (Captain Marvel)!
