Mythologies & Apocrypha #1
Acclaimed cartoonist Tim Lane debuts a new, ongoing series exploring the good, the bad, and the ugly of 20th century masculinity through a head spinning blend of fact and fiction featuring Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Walter Cronkite, and others — culminating in a quick-draw shootout on Mars between Steve McQueen, Johnny Cash, and Sammy Davis Jr. This all-new series showcases Lane's meticulous and jaw-dropping artistry — a level of detail echoing illustrative legends like Frank Frazetta, Alex Raymond, and Dave Stevens.

Mythologies & Apocrypha #1
Tim Lane is back with the start of a new ongoing series that dissects American culture and presents it as modern mythology. Here, Lane takes us to a pivotal year in American history - 1959. The likes of Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen, Johnny Cash and Sammy Davis Jr. are all explored in Mythologies & Apocrypha #1, with short vignettes on each of them leading to a quick-draw shootout in an otherworldly setting. Lane is not new to this kind of history-twisting as he's worked on various fictionized Steve McQueen strips for years now, but it still feels just as fresh here as when he first started on it. Adding to Lane's immaculate cartooning is a newfound sense of graphic design with some truly gorgeous pieces sprinkled in between the stories.
