Coming soon from Magma Comix, Death Comes for The Toymaker, the inventive graphic novel by writer Dakota Brown and artist Ryan Cody.
Death comes for us all. But for Gil the Toymaker, the visit is an eternal tragedy! Every year the holiday gift giver visits children all over the world on a special night, but Gil’s immortality comes at a cost. Forced to do the work of Death, carrying a list of ready-to-harvest souls alongside his naughty and nice lists, Gil gives toys AND takes souls all in one night! But as the Toymaker reflects on the relationship he’s had with Death for several millennia, an associate reveals a scheme that may just put an end to Death’s contract (and, perhaps, Death himself!)
With small moments with old friends and bitter battles between eternal rivals, Death Comes For the Toymaker is a mythic epic full of action, terror, introspection, and heart.
For fans of gods and goddesses, mythic beasts, bloody battles across multiple millennia, and exploring the tragedies that are the passage of time and missed opportunities, the 144-page trade paperback brings familiar characters from mythology and folklore; it’s an epic twist on the traditional Christmas legend.
Death Comes for The Toymaker hits comic shops on November 6th and 7th and bookstores on November 19th.
