LOS ANGELES, CA (October 17, 2019) – BOOM! Studios is proud to reveal a brand new series trailer and a new variant cover art by all star artist Dan Mora (Once & Future, Klaus) for FOLKLORDS #1, the premiere issue of an all-new original five-issue series from Eisner Award-nominated writer Matt Kindt (Grass Kings, Black Badge) and acclaimed artist Matt Smith (Hellboy & the BPRD: Long Night at Goloski, Lake of Fire) about a young man whose forbidden quest reveals the shocking truth about his world and turns everything he ever knew upside down, available on November 13, 2019.
In a world of magic and monsters, Ansel is an outsider haunted by visions of well-pressed suits and modern technology. When it comes time for him to declare his Quest on his 18th birthday, Ansel decides to seek out a legend that is only spoken in hushed whispers—the Folklords—hoping they can explain his visions…but looking for the Folklords is expressly forbidden, and going on a rogue quest is punishable by death. What will Ansel risk to find answers to the questions and visions that have set him apart his entire life?
FOLKLORDS #1 features main cover art by series artist Matt Smith and variant cover art by acclaimed artists Duncan Fegredo (Hellboy) and Dan Mora (Once & Future).
