Arcana Comics Announces Seven Holes for Air

Teaming up with celebrities seems to be all the rage these days with comic book publishers. It makes sense, considering some celebrities may really want to tell their story in the comic book form. Bill Paxton is one such man, teaming up with Arcana Comics on Seven Holes for Air, written by John J. McLauchlin and illustrated by Mick Reinman.

The book introduces the reader to Bob Rourke, a man in rare supply in modern times. He's a tough, fifty-year-old steelworker who smokes, drinks and never complains. When Bob is facing the end, disease ravaging his body, he soldiers on at home, at work, and in an alternate Spaghetti Western reality in which his real-life antagonists become actual villains. Now, Bob will stare down death the only way he knows how - with grit and determination - as he struggles against the ghosts of his past and the desire to leave something behind for his wife and daughter.

7 Holes for Air will debut at San Diego Comic Con 2013 and Paxton will make a special appearance with some of the creative team on Thursday, July 18th at 2 PM to sign copies of the book.

VANCOUVER (June 18, 2013) - 

Arcana Comics is thrilled to announce a special partnership with Award Winning Actor, Director, and Producer, Bill Paxton (HATFIELDS & McCOYS, BIG LOVE, TITANIC), who is bringing us Seven Holes For Air, an engrossing and entertaining celebration of an iconic Western hero's battle with forces beyond his control.

Written by John J. McLauchlin with art from Mick Reinman, 7 Holes for Air introduces us to Bob Rourke, the kind of man they don't make anymore. He's a tough son of a bitch; a fifty-year-old steelworker who smokes, drinks, and never complains, even when he's in pain.
