Mad Max: Fury Road meets Neil Gaiman's
Sandman
in this full-throttle, grindhouse, fantasy epic.


Cars! Guns! Entropy! Izzy Tyburn has
promised the world that if it won't have her in it, it'll have nothing of her at
all. Chased by an unstoppable killer, she's re-treading her life, leaving
nothing behind but burned rubber, ash... and the sun-scorched bones of those who
get in her way. Ride shotgun on an existential road-trip through the tangled web
of a blood-splattered life.

BOUND #1-4.

"If you like Dan Watters' work on
Lucifer, this is even weirder..." -Neil
Gaiman



"Wholly original. Fresh concepts and characters
pop up on almost every page, courtesy of Watters' mind and Dani's art. This is a
series to keep your eye on." -Entertainment
Weekly



"It's a gleeful of literary grindhouse comic
that brings to mind Milligan's Arthouse Pulp and notes of Pretty Deadly. Out in
August. Pre-order now." -Kieron Gillen


"Dani is quite a discovery: the work is very
inventive and actually very careful but the line is alive and organic-the ink
just spills down and branches into the right places. And the language style
Watters launches here is just wonderful-I summon Milch because it's eccentric
and neo-antique like his Deadwood speech, rippling with character and drunken
with its own pleasure... Coffin Bound is a damned joy." -Warren
Ellis


"A Lynchian crime chase desert noir
fever dream with its own messed up internal logic. Fun." -Rob
Williams


"An acid drenched road trip,
seeping violence and weirdness of the best kind. Definitely one to check out."
Ollie Masters

"Gorgeous and odd
and very much its own unique monster. I am jealous at its filthy strangeness."
Ivan Brandon


"A gore-splattered—but poetic—road
trip with one of the strangest stripper scenes in comics." —John Harris
Dunning



"Dreamlike, mythic, relentless and strange."
Kurt Busiek

"Excellent. Like
finding a weird Alex Cox meets Jodorowsky road movie you didn't know existed.
Literate, full of ideas & complimented by Dani's Guéra meets Pope-ish
art." —Iain Laurie


"Pure Doom. Watters spins a fantastic
Kerouac-Ian fever dream with Dani dropping some story chops, solid gesture and
moody blacks. It's a great hook that will take you Under. Coffin Bound Rules!"
Andy Belanger


"Your lessons of life delivered at the end of a
muzzle by a choir of grindhouse philosophers laced with the wisdom of dead
birds. I can hardly think of another story so fully infused with Dan Watters and
Dani aesthetic." —Ram V

"Coffin
Bound is a distillate of madness. A slice of apocalyptic dreamtime cut with
engine smoke, acid nihilism and dirty juju. This is some top-class necrofuel, my
friends, and you need it in your brain-tank pronto." —Si
Spurrier


"Coffin Bound is a comic with a
strong pulse that bleeds all over your hands while reading. You should give it a
read." —Declan Shalvey


"So fun! Dani's art is gorgeous (as always!) and
Brad Simpsons' colours are ridiculously nice. I just want moreeee."
Emmeline Pidgen

"Call your
local comic shop now. Make sure they get this for you. Trust me."
