Roger Langridge's Snarked Debuts in October


I'm a big fan of snark. I mean, the internet runs on it. Based on that logic, Roger Langridge's brand new series Snark is set to debut this October from KABOOM! for only $1. Written and illustrated by Langridge, the book is a reimagining of Lewis Carroll's topsy-turvy world. More specifically, Snarked starts with a self-contained, 8-page story featuring The Walrus and The Carpenter from Through the Looking Glass. Also shipping this August, for the adult fans of Roger's work, is an all-new trade paperback featuring Langridge's previously uncollected alt-comix material called The Show Must Go On.

“Very few cartoonists can combine all-ages fun with exciting adventure, but Roger Langridge pulls it off and makes it look easy!” says BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “Roger's masterful art along with with his impeccable comedic timing and knack for storytelling will make SNARKED a new classic for comics and literature fans alike.”

Snarked #0 hits stores this August for $1 while the first issue will follow a few months later. The Show Must Go On TPB also hits in August for $14.99. Full press release and interiors after the jump.
