James O’Barr is returning to comics with an all new three issue miniseries, The Crow: Skinning The Wolves, featuring a never before seen incarnation of the anti-hero. IDW Publishing will bring the series to shelves this December and the setting is 1945 Europe, near the end of WWII as supernatural vengeance is dished out in a Nazi concentration camp.
O’Barr is said to have worked out the story details years ago but never had time to complete the project. Jim Terry is on board as “co-artist” and now the comic will finally see the light of day. Or should I say dark of night?
Each issue is priced $3.99 and will contain 32 pages.
From IDW:
IDW Publishing is thrilled to announce that The Crow’s original creator, James O’Barr will be launching a brand-new story featuring the vengeful avian guide, THE CROW: SKINNING THE WOLVES, a three-issue miniseries set to debut this December. Fans of O’Barr’s dark signature style will be delighted to see him backed by co-artist Jim Terry with a story woven of the same supernatural mystique that made The Crow a favorite of fans worldwide.
“I’ve been wanting to see a new Crow project from James O’Barr for a lot longer than we’ve had the Crow license,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief, “and what James has lined up for Skinning the Wolves and beyond is definitely delivering on those expectations.”
Set in a European concentration camp in 1945, Skinning the Wolves investigates a world where the dark harbinger of vengeance is dispatched in response to one of history’s greatest atrocities and the ultimate evil that perpetrated it.
