The comic’s full description reads:
“AHEAD OF DC STUDIOS’ CLAYFACE MOVIE, WITNESS BASIL KARLO BRING THE MUD AND THE PAIN BACK TO DC COMICS!
Before he was Clayface, Basil Karlo was one of the hottest stars in Hollywood. As he breaks out of Arkham once again, he’s ready to stage his comeback, but there’s just one problem: Someone already beat him to it, and Basil Karlo is already a massive star. But if that’s true, what’s next for the real Basil? And what does his predicament have to do with young women disappearing in Los Angeles and a new supplement causing hideous transformations in its users? Acclaimed horror writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle and rising star artist Fran Galan join forces for a bold new miniseries that’s equal parts body horror and Hollywood glamour.”
Writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle had this to say about the new series:
“Basil Karlo is one of the most beautifully flawed and human characters in the Batman universe. He can become anybody he wants, but he can never escape himself; he looks perfect when the cameras are on him, but he’s a disintegrating mess behind the scenes.
By giving Basil the fame he’s always wanted—or giving SOMEONE that fame, anyway—we were able to tell a story about accountability, redemption, and how to tell the difference between somebody who’s actually trying to change for the better and someone who’s using their celebrity to get away with murder. I loved getting to spend time with Basil, and I really hope his fans will enjoy the series.”
Artist Fran Galán also mentioned:
“What I love most about Jude’s script is the duality between the real and the fake, the beautiful and the macabre. It is an absolute gift to draw.”
Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #1 releases July 8th.
