This summer, The Lab Press is looking to dropkick readers right in the eyes with a brand-new graphic novel set firmly in the world of horror and pro wrestling. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the award-winning new graphic novel publisher is bringing a wild passion project to life: Mad Dog Morgan. Creator Adam Lawson (The Exiled with Wesley Snipes, The Kill Journal) and co-writer Brian Christgau (Six-Gun Gorilla: Long Days of Vengeance, The Kill Journal: Finch) will be aided by the gorgeous artwork of rising star Maxi Dall'O (Heavy Metal, Lost Fantasy), with vibrant colors from Patricio Delpeche, and powerful letters from Dave Lentz.
