[comix] POP GUN WAR
TO BE COLLECTED BY DARK HORSE
Caught in the grip of the city: Farel Dalrymple’s acclaimed
Pop Gun War collected by Dark Horse
A fallen angel, a boy with wings, a dwarf and his giant pet fish, a disembodied head in a valise – these are the denizens of Farel Dalrymple’s alien, yet distressingly familiar cityscape. Sinclair, the boy with wings, floats in and out of this gritty urban scene providing a viewpoint that reveals the city at its harshest and at its most hopeful.
This June, Dark Horse collects the first five issues of Farel Darymple’s acclaimed
Pop Gun War in a handsome 136 page trade. Daring and beautiful, Pop Gun War is both a meditation on alienation and a love letter to the sometimes cruel city that Dalrymple calls home. Rich, textured, and unique,
Pop Gun War is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
For its creator, Farel Dalrymple,
Pop Gun War has been a labor of love. “Since starting this series almost three years ago, working on
Pop Gun War has been a desperate but fun trip,” he says. “These are the first five chapters in what I hope to be a provocative and exciting continuing tale. It's very exciting to me that Dark Horse Comics is publishing this collection and giving me the opportunity to share it with a new audience.”
Walt Simonson calls Farel Dalrymple “one of the finest young draftsmen to quietly sidle into comics in a long time. And one of the field’s most gifted storytellers.” Farel Dalrymple is a Society of Illustrators Gold medal winner, a Xeric Grant recipient, and a Russ Manning Award nominee.
Pop Gun War is available June 25 for the retail price of $13.95.
