Breath of Shadows

A new expedition into the heart of horror from Rich Douek and Alex Cormack, the team behind Sea of Sorrows and the Bram Stoker Award–winning series Road of Bones!

It’s the mid-1960s, and Jimmy Meadows should be on top of the world. His band’s most recent album just went gold, and they’re riding a wave to international fame. But Jimmy is driven by only one thing: where to get his next fix. 

With his bandmates at the end of their ropes and his life falling apart, Jimmy thinks he may be finished, until a friend tells him about a controversial method deep in the jungles of South America that can help him kick his addiction for good. But is clean living actually in Jimmy’s future, or will he instead unleash horrors beyond his wildest nightmares?

Rich Douek became infatuated with comics at a young age, using his allowance and whatever spare change he could find to buy them off the rack at the candy store near his home in NYC. Years later, after building a successful career in copywriting (and filling up quite a few long boxes), he was able to realize a lifelong dream by publishing Gutter Magic, his first original comic, through IDW and Comics Experience. Since then, he has been pursuing further writing opportunities in the world of comic books and beyond.

Alex Cormack is an illustrator and animator whose works include the critically acclaimed Sink from ComixTribe Publishing; Red Dog from 451 media; the official prequel to the motion picture Hardcore Henry, Hardcore Akan from STX Entertainment and Bliss on Tap Publishing; and Road Of Bones from IDW Publishing. He has also done work for Adult Swim, Oni Press, and KRS Comics.
