DSTLRY has announced a new series spinning out of their anthology The Devil’s Cut. Blasfamous, by Harvey Award winner Mirka Andolfo, is a mix of horror and comedy set in a world where pop stars are literal gods, with angels and demons as their agents and managers. The series spins out of the five-page story “A Blessed Day” from The Devil’s Cut and centers on a pop diva named Clelia who is threatened by the appearance of a mysterious newcomer. Together with Father Lev, her demonic agent, Clelia investigates the newcomer and defends her own status as a viral superstar. The first issue will be released in December 2023 and will have two open-to-order covers by Andolfo as well as retailer incentive variants to be announced.
“With each of my series I love conjuring new fictions of fantasy and wonder wrapped around some of the hottest sociological issues we face in reality,” Andolfo said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “Blasfamous picks apart what it means to worship—whether it’s a prophet or popstar. It’s also a new opportunity to draw some of the most lavish and exhilarating spectacles of my career, with an oversized canvas to make every page truly sing.”
DSTLRY plans to use The Devil’s Cut as the springboard for eight new series (see “DSTLRY Announces 8 Series Will Launch from ‘The Devil’s Cut’”).
