First Looks: Mayday

Image Comics is proud to announce its new five issue miniseries Mayday, from writer Alex de Campi (No Mercy, Grindhouse) and artist Tony Parker (This Damned Band).

It’s April 1971: the CIA is handed the espionage coup of the decade when a KGB general defects with a list of all Soviet intelligence assets in Asia, including spies within the US Army in Vietnam. All Jack Hudson has to do is get the defector and his microfilm from Hong Kong to California…and keep Palm Springs’ overzealous FBI office from turning everything into a freakshow. All Codename: Felix has to do is kill the defector and get the microfilm back to the USSR, by any means possible. Easy, right? Now throw in a beautiful woman, a fast car, and a whole lot of drugs—and watch it all crumble.

“Mayday is a very fast-paced, violent, 5-issue miniseries with a lot of sex and drug use (hey, they always say “write what you know”). But it’s also got that early-1970s thriller thing going. You can tell a lot about an era by its criminals.” – Alex de Campi

“It’s not the ‘70s that most people envision. Most people picture the late ‘70s and the Disco era. This was a disillusioned, dark, distrusting, dirty, and angry time.” – Tony Parker

Mayday will hit comic book stores on May 30^th, 2017.
