(MATURE) Slow Burn by Ollie Masters & Pierluigi Casolino – New Paperback

Feel the heat in this gritty, sun-drenched noir thriller from the writer of The Kitchen and Snow Blind. Written by Ollie Masters and featuring the atmospheric, sharp artwork of Pierluigi Casolino, this Boom! Studio trade paperback is a masterclass in tension, betrayal, and the desperate lengths people go to when they have nothing left to lose.

A Town Dying to Kill You

• The Story: After a botched robbery leaves them wounded and on the run, a pair of thieves find refuge in a dying mining town. But this isn't a place where people come to get lost—it’s a place where things stay buried. As the partners-in-crime wait for the heat to die down, they realize the locals have secrets far more dangerous than their own, and the slow-burning tension of the town is about to ignite into a firestorm of violence.

• Masters of Noir: Ollie Masters continues to solidify his reputation as a premier voice in crime comics. He weaves a lean, punchy narrative where every line of dialogue feels like a threat and every character has an angle.

• Evocative Artwork: Pierluigi Casolino’s art perfectly captures the desolate, claustrophobic feeling of a town that time forgot. His use of shadow and gritty textures brings a cinematic quality to the parched landscapes and tense confrontations.

• Modern Crime Fiction: Part of the acclaimed AWA Upshot lineup, Slow Burn is a sophisticated, adult-oriented crime story that prioritizes character depth and psychological realism alongside its brutal action.
