Enter a world of cosmic horror in Closer, a one-shot from bestselling writer Kieron Gillen in collaboration with Steve Lieber.
Acclaimed writer Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, The Power Fantasy) teams up with fan-favorite Steve Lieber (The Fix, Jimmy Olsen) and colorist extraordinaire Tamra Bonvillain (Once & Future) to bring readers Closer. Out this September, the one-shot comic tells a story of cosmic horror, as first serialised in the Image! Anthology issues #7-9.
Described as a “one off apocalypse romance” that’s both weird and wonderful, Closer is a brief but impactful tale of cosmic horror blended with romance.
Kieron Gillen and Steve Lieber discuss Closer.
“Regular readers may have noticed that I tend to go on about pop singles a lot,” Gillen said in a statement. “It’s been a long time since I got to do one—get together with a small band of friends and put down a track together. That’s what Closer is—a pop (as in, popular art) single (as in, single comic) and I want people to open it and hear the little apocalypse romance Steve, Tamra, Clayton and myself have come up with. There’s not enough singles in comics, and I’m so glad we’ve got to do one.”
Steve Lieber also weighed in on the project: “It was such a pleasure to work with Kieron, Tamra, and Clayton on this weird, wonderful story, watching the world end while a perfect pop song plays.
