Dark Horse Comics has unveiled the first-issue cover of Batman writer Scott Snyder’s post-apocalyptic comic series. Originally released digitally, Duck and Cover #1’s print edition will hit comic book shelves in September.
Per Dark Horse via AIPT, Jacob Phillips drew the cover for the first-ever print edition issue of Duck and Cover. Snyder, alongside series artist Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire, A Study in Emerald), crafted the post-apocalyptic, manga-influenced teen adventure series with a historical twist. The acclaimed series reimagines the age of the atomic bomb. Marcelo Maiolo (Nocterra, Jean Grey) and Bernardo Brice (Census, Adora and The Distance) provided the colored and lettered Duck and Cover, respectively. Duck and Cover #1 will also feature two covers by Albuquerque, including a foil variant and variant art by Dave Johnson and Ariela Kristantina. Dark Horse will reveal one more variant cover at a later date.
“The year is 1955, and teenager Del Reeves dreams of ditching town life for a life in movies beyond projecting them at the local drive-in. But when Cold War nightmares become a reality, Del discovers that the film genres he’d grown up watching are more real than he could have ever imagined. When a sudden nuclear exchange obliterates the U.S., only the children who hid under their school desks are spared. These teens now find themselves the lone survivors in a strange and wild new ’50s America.”
