Pete and Miriam Show Up in March
BOOM! Town is about to welcome some new residents in the form of Pete and Miriam, the best friends in a complicated relationship. The series is written and illustrated by Rich Tammaso and the couple should fit right in with the neighbors at BOOM! Town.
“It's a timeless story. We all struggle with identity and the mystery of being an adult when we grow up,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “Tammaso brings a lucidity to this slice-of-life that reflects why he's already and Eisner Award-winner.”
The two best friends (which the comic is named after) Pete and Miriam must contend with New Jersey in the 1970s. Everythin from Mischief Night to schoolyard fights, parents, washed-up film directors and a roomful of ex-girlfriends. The mundane and the unpredictable collide as Pete and Miriam forge their friendship through the odyssey of coming of age in America.
The Pete and Miriam graphic novel ships in March with 112 pages of black and white art for $14.99. Full press release below.
