Breath of Shadows #1

by Rich Douek, Alex Cormack (Artist)

It’s the mid-1960s, and Jimmy Meadows should be on top of the world. His band’s most recent album just went gold, and they’re riding a wave to international fame. But Jimmy is driven by only one where to get his next fix. With his band at the end of their ropes and his life falling apart, Jimmy thinks he may be finished—until a friend tells him about a controversial method deep in the jungles of South America that can help him kick his addiction for good. But is clean living actually in Jimmy’s future, or will he instead unleash horrors beyond his wildest nightmares? A new expedition into the heart of horror from Rich Douek and Alex Cormack, the team behind Road of Bones and Sea of Sorrows!

Sex, drugs, rock n' roll... and a South American jungle. All of the above collide in this new miniseries from Rich Douek, Alex Cormack (Road of Bones, Sea of Sorrows) and Justin Burch's Breath of Shadows. Set in the seedy sixties, this jet-setting body slash jungle horror story ships its junkie rockstar protagonist out to the waters of the Rio Candelaria, Mexico, in search of the miracle cure for heroin addiction said to be buried in its surrounding woodlands.
