Score one for St. Louis as three of the area’s top creators launch books this July!

Harvey Award-winning writer and artist Matt Kindt (Pistolwhip, Super Spy, 3 Story) will make his Vertigo debut with the graphic novel REVOLVER. It’s a surreal thriller about an ordinary guy living in two wildly different realities, gradually realizing he alone has the power to avert the series of apocalypses that’s destroyed one world, yet finding himself freer and more alive there than he ever was in the other.

Pamela Mullin of Vertigo writes, “If you’re like me and have ever wondered what decisions you’ve made to put you on your current life path and how different your life would be like if you made different decisions this book is for you. Sam is a young man on the brink of turning 30 who works for a major newspaper in St. Louis. Faced with two very different realities-one of chaos and one of boredom-he tries to put the pieces back together.”

Brian Hurtt (Hard Time, Queen and Country) and Cullen Bunn’s (The Damned) SIXTH GUN drops the same day! During the darkest days of the Civil War, wicked cutthroats came into possession of six pistols of otherworldly power. In time, the Sixth Gun- the most dangerous of the weapons- vanished. When the gun surfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, dark forces reawaken. Vile men thought long dead set their sights on retrieving the gun and killing the girl. Only Drake Sinclair, a gunfighter with a shadowy past, stands in their way.

A book launch with the creators of REVOLVER and SIXTH GUN is planned for Wednesday, July 14 at noon and a corresponding gallery show will be held in the gallery on Friday, July 30 at 7 p.m.
