Comicsburgh announced the February 2024 release of The Theme of Thieves, a time-travel adventure series by D.P. Brown and Dan Ekis.
The Theme of Thieves tells the story of a mysterious time traveler, The Man In The Red Suit, that comes and takes two young teens coming of age, Rebecca and Jason, as they journey through different time periods in history. Rebecca is strong-willed and is still processing the loss of her mother while Jason continues to be bullied in school and berated by his father. During their travels, they all work together to unravel the cause behind a disappearing of people, a phenomenon called “evanescence” that’s been happening since the 1700s and continues in present day.
“I love to create. There is not a day that goes by where I am not thinking about some elements of this story. My inspiration for it came when I noticed in my observations of young people that they lacked knowledge of many aspects of history. My aim with this series is to tell an entertaining adventure with my main characters coming of age as they learn about aspects of history while bouncing around different time periods. My inspiration for this comic comes from my favorite TV shows Quantum Leap, Lost, and The Wire,” said D. P. Brown in a press release. “I met Dan at a comic book convention in Pittsburgh who I believed had some really strong visuals in his book Soul of The World and those visuals matched with this exciting story just puts Thieves in a category of its own! The readers of my comic will find essential elements I put into a story, such as politics, race, religion, and most of importantly to me strong, multi-layered characters. Great attention is paid to the colors, done by the talented colorist Alex Zief, with supervision by me and my team.”
The Theme of Thieves arrives on February 21, 2024.
