Godfather of Hell is meant to be a dark new supernatural crime series written by Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic) and drawn by award winning artist Pius Bak (Eat the Rich, The Magicians), colored by Raúl Angulo (Sera and the Royal Stars), lettered by Andworld Design, and designed by Tim Daniel.
In Godfather of Hell, Dario Santini, a once-powerful enforcer and debt collector for mob boss Niccolò Mechini, finds his life turned upside down after he’s killed on the street. Awakening in Hell, Dario faces an eternity of torment—unless he can transform his eternal damnation into a profitable enterprise.
Godfather of Hell #1 will hit store shelves October 2024. You can check out a first look at a few of these covers below!
