Check out this scene from Hit Parade, comics master Joe Casey’s debut as a screenwriter/director.

That location looks familiar!

Jerome Archer is a retired hit man living the straight life as a retail bookstore manager. When he is coerced by a pair of industrious United States Census Bureau agents to hunt down a dangerous, young contract killer, Jerome suddenly has a life-altering choice to make: will he be forced to return to his old, murderous ways… or will he find a new way out?

Dan Clowes’ Wilson In Stock! *First 100 copies get a free Wilson poster

Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of one-sided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies, Wilson, now irrevocably alone, sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead relationship, and discovers he has a teenage daughter, born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption. Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family – a doomed mission that will surely, inevitably backfire.

Buy your copy of WILSON plus “The Christian Astronauts Newspaper Strip” or any of the great titles in D. CLOWES back catalog at Meltdown Comics then catch DAN C. LIVE! signing at “Chapters” or “Book Soup” or “Sky Light” or “B&N” or some other book store this Summer in support of WILSON.
