Comixology Originals has announced the June 2025 release of Ill Vacation, a psychological thriller set in the South Pacific in the 1940s. The OGN is written by Steve Thompson, with art by Gonzaio Ruggieri.
“Ill Vacation is about monsters, ghosts, and fear-–things that grip the imagination and Gonzalo has created some of the most unique imagery to bring those elements to the page,” said writer Steve Thompson in a press release.
Here is how Comixology Originals describes the original graphic novel:
Told over the course of four chapters, Ill Vacation follows protagonists Bob and Mary, two young soldiers who want to help their country and its war effort. When they volunteer to take an experimental drug and are left behind to defend an island in the Pacific, things take a terrible turn. Instead of negating their fears, it turns their past trauma and nightmares into reality. Now, strange lights appear in a blood-red sky, a giant eye floats in the air and unearthly creatures emerge from the sea to haunt them inside an ever-growing maelstrom of terror. Can they survive?
Ill Vacation arrives digitally on June 17, 2025.
