The early 1930’s: The height of the Great Depression and beginning of the Dust Bowl. Silvano Luna Del Rio works as a postman in Buttar, Texas. Reeling from a tragic past, with only a gun and a Western novel to his name, Silvano sets out to take back from the country that took so much from him by robbing the first skyscraper West of the Mississippi. But acts of retribution are never as simple as they seem, as his target is home to an eccentric fraternal brotherhood hiding their own dark secrets.

By Silvano’s side is an old west novel featuring famed gunslinger Solomon Eaton. As both stories unfold simultaneously, in true UNDONE BY BLOOD fashion, the mythic Western informs choices in reality, for better or worse.

From the minds of Lonnie Nadler and Zac Thompson (The Dregs, X-Men, HER INFERNAL DESCENT) and artist Sami Kivelä (Abbott, Machine Gun Wizards) comes the next story in the critically acclaimed neo-western series that depicts the hard truths of seeking vengeance in the real world.

Key Selling Points

  • Volume 1 has been optioned as an AMC TV series, working with AfterShock Media and Norman Reedus’ bald head productions
  • Series will star Norman Reedus (Daryl on The Walking Dead) as pulp western literary hero Solomon Eaton
  • Meta-textual take on classic “crime retribution werstern”
  • Tells two stories in parallel at the same time with the Old West pulp novel informing the action and dynamics taking place in 1930’s Dust Bowl era Texas
  • According to Nadler, “Undone by Blood has always been about the way fiction and myth influence the real world, and a big part of our job is ensuring that the non-fictional elements are as authentic and accurate as possible. All of this research gets tossed in our narrative blender and can be found in the story and either directly influences the plot or becomes part of the background tapestry in the hopes of creating a rich, darkly comic, and fully realized world. By bringing readers back to the past, we believe it helps to process the uncannily similar issues that plague our present.”
