Back in February we brought you news about a new original graphic novel from BOOM! Studios called Eighty Days. Now the publisher has debuted a first look at new pages from the book which comes from winner of the 2016 PRISM Comics Queer Press Grant, A.C. Esguerra.
Jay wants nothing more than to fly. Or so he thinks, until he crosses paths with a mysterious thief named Fix whose tricks and charms draw him into the struggle against the looming aviation guild to which Jay owes his very being. As Jay becomes further entangled in the turbulence of Fix’s cause, each man must learn to navigate shifting allegiances, the fight for freedom, and the greatest adventure of all — love.
