New in March Previews – Alan Moore’s Providence #1

Providence01_regularThe new March Previews catalog for May shipping is now in comic shops.  Avatar Press is proud to announce the long awaited Alan Moore original Lovecrafitan horror series, Providence is finally here!  Over two years of development has lead us to a pivotal point in comic book history.  Alan Moore, the man who redefined comic books, once again joins his artistic collaborator Jacen Burrows to create an unparalleled work of fiction.  Ask your local comic shop to reserve a copy of your favorite cover today.

 

Providence #1

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:     The most important work of 2015 begins here with the long-Providence01-Portraitawaited arrival of Alan Moore’s breathtaking epic PROVIDENCE with his artistic partner Jacen Burrows. In his most carefully considered work in decades, Moore deconstructs all of Lovecraft’s concepts, reinventing the entirety of his work inside a painstakingly researched Providence01-Pantheonframework of American history. Both sequel and prequel to NEONOMICON, PROVIDENCE begins in 1919 and blends the mythical visions of HPL flawlessly into the cauldron of racial and sexual intolerance that defined that era on the East Coast of America. Every line from artist Jacen Burrows is perfectly honed to complete this immersive experience. The result is a breathtaking masterpiece of sequential art that will define modern horror for this generation. Invoking a comparison it to a prior literary masterpiece is not something to be handled lightly, but in scope, importance and execution: Providence is the Watchmen of horror.

Providence01-WomenofHPLMoore has designed every cover, every single page, and every nuance of this work to create his most fully-realized vision to date. There are no ads, all 32 pages are written by Moore, and Jacen Burrows has spent the past two years slaving over the finest detail possible on the pages. The entire work is already written, intricately crafted to tie the most nuanced threads together over the breadth of the Providence01-Wrapseries. Painstakingly researched, meticulously produced, this is a sequential masterpiece that will serve as important a call to the next generation of comic book writers as Watchmen did 30 years ago: this is a definitive demonstration of just how good a comic book can be. Available with Regular, Pantheon, Portrait, Dreamscape Wraparound, Women of HPL, and a special Ancient Tome Incentive cover, all by collaborator Jacen Burrows.
