Immerse yourself in the haunting world of Night People, a gripping comic series adapted from Barry Gifford's acclaimed novel. Barry Gifford, the literary icon behind Wild At Heart and co-writer of David Lynch's neo-noir masterpiece Lost Highway, presents a pulsating exploration of the American subconscious. In this narrative, neon-lit Southern nights reveal a landscape of lipstick, sweat, and blood, where the innocent and the evil journey together along an interstate of dark, elusive dreams.
Brought to life by breakout writer Chris Condon (known for That Texas Blood and The Enfield Gang Massacre) and a rotating ensemble of exceptional artists, Night People follows a disparate group of wanted criminals, cartel killers, and lost souls through four interwoven tales. Their journey, marked by intoxication, lust, and spontaneous violence, spans from New Orleans to Egypt City, Florida, and back again.
In the series' first tale, illustrated by Brian Level (Poison Ivy), the story centers on two inseparable ex-convicts, Big Betty Stalcup and Miss Cutie Early. Recently paroled, these lovers use their newfound freedom to cleanse the world of men's evil influence, embarking on a desperate, fanatical mission that leads to murder.
Published by Oni Press in 2024, Night People promises a captivating journey through the dark and twisted roads of human nature. With writing by Chris Condon and Barry Gifford and artwork by Ronda Pattison and Brian Level, this series is a must-read for those seeking a raw and thrilling narrative.
