LODGER (2018)

"A handsome drifter murders his way through the midwest while hiding in plain sight as a travel blogger, leaving families in shreds and body bags in his wake. Ricky Toledo was fifteen when she fell hard for 'Dante'-until he killed her mother and got her father sent to prison for it. It's three years later, and Ricky will stop at nothing to get revenge. Lodger is a dark, grimy, psychological thriller-a game of cat and mouse between a broken young woman and a serial killer-and like all the best crime noir a twisted love story. A new series from Eisner Award winners David and Maria Lapham! BLACK CROWN'S first black and white miniseries! Don't miss a special variant cover by Bill Sienkiewicz!"

"Ricky Toledo was 15 when a handsome lodger rented a room in her family's small, rural home. Lust, adultery and murder would follow. It's three years later and the serial killer who murdered Ricky's mother and got her father sent down for it is cutting a bloody swath through the broken soul of America. This warped game of cat and mouse between a tortured young woman and a serial killer can only be told by the comics masters of the crime thriller and the artform, David and Maria Lapham. The first black & white title from Black Crown!"

"As a mysterious grifter continues to corrupt and kill damaged souls on the open road, he accepts a request on the Lodger travel blog that might put his own heart in danger. Meanwhile, Ricky Toledo and Golddigger get one step closer to their prey."

The first black & white book from Black Crown! A new story from comics legends David & Maria Lapham (Stray Bullets)! Letters column, behind-the-panels process pages, & more! 'LODGER is from the team that brought us Stray Bullets, so you know we're in safe hands, hands that just need one more rinse under a faucet to get the blood off them. This is small-town noir at its gothic best. Bleed on '-Ian Rankin, best-selling author of Inspector Rebus"
