Vault Comics announced the upcoming release of Dying Inside by Pete Wentz, Hannah Klein, and Lisa Sterle.
In a press release, co-writer Hannah Klein stated, “When the idea sparked for Dying Inside, I had no idea what form it would end up taking. The fact that it started my foray into the world of graphic novels is one of the most exciting and surprising series of events and I’m so incredibly grateful. I’ve been working with Pete on various creative endeavors throughout the years, and I feel like our separate styles and shared vision really came through on this project especially with the absolutely singular and incredible art by Lisa Sterle, and the steady and supportive hand of Vault to guide the way. I feel so lucky that our vision was met with open arms and a million “yesses” to create the exact project we were hoping to achieve.”
Today is Ash’s big finale. And by finale, she means exiting the stage permanently. Ash is a sixteen-year-old girl with more angst than Ian Curtis and Elliott Smith combined (her two idols). She’s apathetic and therefore believes death is the easiest route to relief. But nothing is more embarrassing than a lame death. Unfortunately, her meticulous plans are all ruined when the beautiful knife she buys off a webstore turns out to be charmed with a protection spell. Now, Ash has to track down the witch who transformed her clocking out attempt into the worst gift imaginable: immortality. Turns out, the witch responsible is another sixteen-year-old-girl named (get this) Liv. The two vow to undo the charm together and fight for Ash’s death…even as things get increasingly entangled with a strange new antidepressant called Somnia and her mom’s gross boyfriend, Greg.
According to Vault Comics:
The editions of Dying Inside include three alternate colorway editions with cover art by Lisa Sterle, including glitter, glow-in-the-dark, and “dark mode” covers, as well as collector’s editions with variant coverwrap art. Kicking off the merch collection for Headshell, featured Dying Inside art will be available on custom Skullcandy headphones, graphic t-shirts, hoodies, beanies, and print canvas tote bags, as well as enameled pins, stickers, and more.
Dying Inside is available for pre-order now.
