DMC GN (2016)

"It's 1985 in New York City. Wildstyle graffiti covers subway cars as. B-boys break and spin in playgrounds and on street corners. Koch is mayor. Drugs and crime rule the streets. A terrifying plague is brewing in the shadows. And as the populace loses faith in the police, a man named Bernard Goetz is being hailed as a hero for shooting four teenagers in a subway car. In this 1985, however, the city's brand new guardian angels wear spandex and capes, wielding their gadgets and their superpowers to clean up the City - even if their methods hurt more people than they help. There's the deluded 'graffiti king' Mr. Marx patrolling the tunnels; the dark moral crusader The Puritan who stalks the shadows of the Lower East Side; and above it all, the godlike Helios, darling of the Upper East Side and the NYPD. It seems like only some of New York's residents are benefitting from these vigilantes' protection. The rest whisper the name of another hero: DMC. You see, in this 1985, Darryl McDaniels (Run DMC) never rocks the mic to become one of hip-hop's most enduring icons. Instead, he dons his tracksuit and Adidas sneakers to defends the city's marginalized citizens against super villain and super hero alike, leaving no traces besides the imprint of his knuckle rings on his opponents' faces. (By day, though, he teaches junior high school English.) With the help of reporter Charlie Cooper and a band of graffiti artists led by the spunky Lak6, DMC must confront the new 'heroes,' and investigate whether there's anything behind their sudden appearance. DMC, the inaugural title from Darryl Makes Comics, imagines an alternate history that blends traditional comic book storytelling with the pressures and anxieties of 1980's NYC, and explores how we got to where we are now. DMC is a superhero for those who need one most."

"LAK6 remixed! As promised by our publisher Darryl DMC McDaniels we are expanding the DMC universe! In DMC #1 we were introduced to 13-year-old Leticia, aka LAK6, the graffiti writer brave enough to take on Mr. Marx and guide Charlie Cooper throughout the city to track down the mysterious b-boy hero DMC! In this special issue LAK6 suits up to become the next superhero in the DMC universe!"

"Darryl DMC McDaniels returns and fulfills on his promise to expand the Darryl Makes Comics universe! In our second graphic novel you'll meet more heroes like LAK6, Sifu Hours, and The Breaks! They are on the cusp of the b-boy hero movement but first they must take on the status quo that has been misleading New York City."
