Harvey Award winning superstar Mirka Andolfo and fan-favorite illustrator Laura Braga team up for the first time to bring Purr Evil to life! Purr Evil will launch from Image Comics this July in the United States, and will be released simultaneously in Italy (Star Comics), France and Belgium (Dupuis), and Spain, Argentina, and Chile (Moztros).
Purr Evil is The Last of Us meets Hit-Girl and Léon: The Professional in a six-issue miniseries with high-adrenaline content, and is a new adventure comic produced by Arancia Studio, the Italian creative atelier which worked on Andolfo’s bestselling Image Comics titles and many successful books.
The story will explore an unusual mother-daughter relationship, seasoned with horror and urban fantasy elements. Can the bond of the two women overcome a life built on blood and lies? What secret is lurking in the Morando family’s apartment?
Purr Evil tells the story of Rita, a young mother forced by the mistakes of her dark past to become a ruthless, cold-blooded killer, in order to defend her daughter Deb from the endless evil that looms over her. In a world on the brink of doom, the unconditional love between mother and daughter must overcome every barrier and every misunderstanding alongside blood, sweat, tears, and a tremendous lot of malevolent kittens.
