Rondel fans, rejoice! Eric Powell’s Hillbilly series returns this fall with The Treason of Twelve-Toe Maggie, a brand new entry in the dark fantasy saga published by Dark Horse Comics. Today, The Beat can exclusively reveal the details of the new series, which hits shelves in September.
Hillbilly: The Treason of Twelve-Toe Maggie follows Rondel, the wandering hillbilly, several years after the Great Witch War. The limited series will have three issues, all written and illustrated by Powell.
Here’s the synopsis:
There are many tales of Rondel the wandering Hillbilly; this is but one. Some years after the great witch war, Rondel, in order to save an old friend, finds himself in an uncomfortable situation—in the service of his former captor, Twelve-Toe Maggie. Will he break the magical tie that binds him to the twelve-toed witch, or will the wielder of the Devil’s Cleaver be at her service forever?
Issue #1 will feature main cover art by Powell and a variant by Becky Cloonan.
Hillbilly: The Treason of Twelve-Toe Maggie is the perfect jumping-on point for new readers interested in the Hillbilly universe. Issue #1 will be available digitally and at your local comic shop on September 30. Pre-orders are available now.
