Image Comics will release Night Fever, a new noir thriller graphic novel, into retail in June 2023.
Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the duo that won a 2021 Eisner Award for Pulp (see “Eisner Awards 2021“), are teaming up again for this GN that tells the story of Jonathan Webb, a man on business trip who is suffering from insomnia. Plagued by his inability to sleep, Webb ends up wandering the foreign city his in at night. He meets a new friend named Rainer, who introduces him to a hidden world where they are no rules or limits. The exhilarating night world become dangerous and Webb has to make dark choices in order to get home.
“Night Fever is a story that’s been scratching at the back of my skull for a long time now and man, is this a weird one,” said Brubaker. “Inspired partly by old Black Lizard noir novels and weird and sexy European comics from the 70s, this book is a dark trip into what being alive right now feels like, but hopefully a thrilling one for our readers, too. I know it’s the best art of Sean’s entire career, which feels almost unbelievable. But it’s true.”
Coloring for this GN was done by Jacob Phillps. It releases to comic shops on June 14, 2023 and into independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and Indigo on June 20, 2023.
