Joe Hill Absolutely Kills with Dying is Easy

“Comedy is difficult. To die is easy. Joe Hill, best-selling author of the New York Times, presents the world to Syd “Sh * t-Talk” Homes – a shameful ex-policeman, a bitter comic and a wanted criminal – in December with the launch of Dying is Easy , a new mini comic book series from IDW Publishing. Illustrated by famed Punks Not Dead artist Martin Simmonds, this five-song mystery draws readers to the dimly lit places and dirty alleyways of the comedy world, where each character looks at himself, leaves his enemies behind and turns to the right.

When a novice comedian with a particularly ugly past reaches fame by stealing jokes, he quickly wins a target on his back. It does not take long for the laugh to stop … “As a writer and as a reader, nothing excites me as a shock of discovery, of revelation, when the scattered parts of a story snap together to give an unexpected image. It’s the feeling of a mystery of fair play, where all clues are available if the reader is smart enough to recognize them, and there is a chance to match the mind with the inspector, “says Hill . “Dying is Easy gave me the chance to try a genre that I love … and also allowed me to pay tribute to the poets of pulp, guys like Larry Block and Walter Mosley and Elmore Leonard, who have helped inspire and amaze me for decades. And I manage with Martin Simmonds, whose demanding pencils and vibrant colors give life to a neo-foggy world of wrenching breaks and fears that break the bones. Say I’m paid for it! ” “I wanted to work on a project that allowed me to push my art in a darker direction.The chance to work together on Dying is easy with Joe means I can do it exactly,” says Simmonds. “Dying is Easy is a fucking riot to illustrate, and I hope readers will have the same level of excitement as they advance in the series!”Learn to pronounce Learn to pronounce “It’s great to see Joe get his hands dirty with the introduction of Syd ‘Sh * t-Talk’ Homes, especially when Martin Simmonds displays dirt that so many characters shine so nicely,” said the president / director from the creation and publisher of the IDW series Chris Ryall. “Readers should appreciate this mystery of fair play, where all clues to solving the crime are presented on the page. Until they, like Syd Homes, discover how life can be unfair. “

 

The first issue of Dying is Easy will be available with several cover editions – Cover A (OCT190712) by serial artist Martin Simmonds, Cover B (OCT190713) by Hill’s Locke & Key employee Gabriel Rodríguez, and two special Retailer editions Incentive: a black – white variant of Rodríguez and the design of the characters covered by Simmonds.
