DSTLRY Announces new Horror-Comedy BLASFAMOUS by Mirka Andolfo

The International Sensation Behind Sweet Paprika and Mercy Announces New Series Where Media Superstars Reign as Deities 

NEW YORK, NY – September 27, 2023 – DSTLRY, the next-generation publisher redefining creator-owned comic books and collectibles, today revealed Blasfamous, a new horror-comedy comic series launching this December from Harvey Award-winning writer and artistMirka Andolfo (Sweet Paprika, Mercy, Unnatural). 

Spinning out of the 5-page story a “A Blessed Day” from DSTLRY’s debut release The Devil’s Cut, Blasfamous offers a biting, hilarious dissection of media idolation—asking the pivotal question: how many fans is your soul worth?

In a world where pop stars have ascended to divinity and the masses bow in veneration to a new generation of viral superstars, angels and demons revel in a spotlight that grants them unimaginable power. Clelia, the reigning queen of pop, finds her throne shaken by a newcomer radiating with enigmatic charm. As the public eye threatens to wander, Clelia and her demonic agent, Father Lev, are thrust into a battle for dominance on this exhilarating stage of music and mysticism. How far will they go to defend Clelia’s hot streak and unravel the mystery of this sensational threat? 

Mixing the sacred and profane, Andolfoeffortlessly merges the mythological urban fantasy of American Gods with the sardonic wit of The Good Place in a new dark series set in the glittering world of pop music.

It’s also a new opportunity to draw some of the most lavish and exhilarating spectacles of my career, with an oversized canvas to make every page truly sing.”
