PORTLAND, OR, 07/26/2018 — Critically acclaimed cartoonist Rich Tommaso (SPY SEAL, Dick Tracy) will release a trade paperback collection of his ’90s noir series DRY COUNTY this September.

Meet Lou Rossi, a Generation X slacker who’s drifting through an unremarkable young adulthood, completely out of step with the rave culture of early-’90s Miami. His humdrum life takes a sharp left turn when he meets — and quickly falls in love with — the young and beautiful Janet Laughton. But when she suddenly vanishes, leaving only a cryptic note behind, Lou will have to pull out all the stops to track her down.

DRY COUNTY (ISBN: 978–1–5343–0830–5, Diamond code: JUN180061) hits comic book shops on Wednesday, September 12th and bookstores on Tuesday, September 18th. It can be preordered via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Indiebound, and Indigo.

Select praise for DRY COUNTY:

“Richly compelling.” — Multiversity Comics

“The best part about DRY COUNTY is…well, everything. The component elements of Tommaso’s new work — the art deco, the pastels, the noir, the unluckiest man in Miami’s paradise — all come together so well, it’s hard to identify any one thing that’s responsible for [its] excellence.” — The Oregonian

“DRY COUNTY has a remarkably addictive quality to it — one you don’t feel creeping up on you. By the time you’ve read the first issue, you’ll certainly read the rest.” — Comicon.com

“DRY COUNTY has both a real sense of place and a strong sense of character that give it depth.” — Uproxx

“DRY COUNTY #1 is unique and refreshing. It has the appeal of an indie comic and the draw, intrigue, and mystery of a crime/detective story.” — Monkeys Fighting Robots
