Mike Oeming's WILD ROVER Rips Through Dark Horse Presents!
MIKE OEMING’S WILD ROVER RIPS THROUGH DARK
HORSE PRESENTS!
APRIL 11, MILWAUKIE, OR—The latest apologue to debut in Dark
Horse Comics’ legendary anthology brings out the darker side: Michael Avon
Oeming’s Wild Rover!
Wild Rover premieres in Dark Horse
Presents #14 (a 104-page giant issue!). The two-part tale provides a
very intense and interesting look through the comic medium at addiction and
dealing with alcoholism.
“I’ve been a fan of Dark Horse Presents since
I was a kid—it’s where I learned about artists like Moebius and my first
exposure to creator owned works, which exploded later with the Legend line,”
said Oeming.
“I’m proud to launch the first of my ‘true-fiction’ stories with Wild
Rover in Dark Horse Presents. Though told through fantasy,
much of it is based on my experiences or those that my mother has gone through.
I could only trust Dark Horse Presents with such things.”
Oeming received the Eisner Award for Best New Series in 2001
for his work on Powers. He also received the Eagle Award in 2006
for Favorite Writer/Artist. In addition to Wild Rover, Dark Horse
has announced Oeming will be writing and drawing a very adult superhero
adventure series, The Victories, to be released later this
year.
