Magma Comix is partnering with Ruptura Estudios! The imprint will publish works of fiction with Hispanic appeal by creators from around the world, and will release three titles in 2024, beginning with the thrilling Western-noir with a supernatural twist, Hell’s Half Acre.
In Hell’s Half Acre, written by Magma founder and New York Times Best-selling author, Denton J. Tipton with art and Cover A by Ramon Bunge, the exciting new series features special variant covers by Chris Evenhuis and the first issue has a retailer incentive cover by Glenn Fabry.
Life is changing fast in 1904 Nashville but the sins of the past live free in a place called Hell’s Half Acre—where you can find gambling, sex and most any other debauchery ever dreamed. None do it better than Miss Marion’s, where a mysterious gambler named Britt sets in motion a chain of events that will have lawmen and outlaws alike aiming to put him six feet under. Will the woman that Britt scorned be his downfall or salvation when Hell comes calling?
Ruptura Estudios was originally founded in the 1990s amid the burgeoning scene of the so-called “new Mexican comic.” Over time, it has stepped in and out of the spotlight, changing its form and finding different ways to collaborate with other publishing houses. Now, nearly 30 years since its inception, it returns with its core mission intact: help creators and readers on journeys throughout different realities.
Hell’s Half Acre #1 drops in shops June 5th.
