Writer Patrick Kindlon and artist Paul Tucker are teaming at Image Comics for Stringer, a hard-hitting crime thriller that arrives in April 2023.
In Stringer, itβs 1983. Tournament tennis. A racquet stringer turned small-time drug dealer gets in over his head transporting a gym bag of cocaine across Europe. Carrying a half-million in narcotics puts him on the radar of every dangerous man on the continent. Whoops.
“It’s difficult to find an artist as fearless as Paul. Just real go-for-it kamikaze energy,” said Kindlon in a press release from Image Comics. “The result is anything we do together has a wildcard element that makes every page a potential showstopper. Every storytelling trick that exists in comics we give a spin in the pages of Stringer. Pair that with a story built for maximum fun, and you’ve got comics gold.”
Stringer will be released as a hardcover on April 19, 2023.
