Feel the Heat in SLOW BURN, a New Noir Limited Series From BOOM! Studios

LOS ANGELES, CA (September 26, 2023) – BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at SLOW BURN #1, the first issue of the brand new series from acclaimed noir crime writer Ollie Masters (Snow Blind), rising star artist Pierluigi Minotti (Lost Falls),colorist Alessandro Santoro, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, a tale about dirty deeds in a town on fire, available October 2023.

Hell is a place on Earth.

Fleeing from a botched robbery in New York City, a junkie, her dying partner, and a dementia-ridden old man pull into a mining ghost town in central Pennsylvania. Obscured by the caustic vapors spewed forth from a still burning coal-seam fire from the 1960s, Trier seems like the perfect place for the trio to lay low, maybe score a fix, and potentially take a hostage. But this ghost town might prove more lively than any of them think.

SLOW BURN #1 features a main cover by Matt Taylor (Deep State) with variants by acclaimed artists Paul Azaceta (Outcast), Tyler Jenkins (Apache Delivery Service),and Cliff Chiang (Paper Girls).
