Bill Paxton teaming with Arcana Comics for Seven Holes for Air

Arcana Comics has announced that its partnering up with the one and only Bill Paxton - star of Aliens, Near Dark, Apollo 13, Twister, True Lies and Hatfields & McCoys - for the graphic novel Seven Holes for Air, which is described as "an engrossing and entertaining celebration of an iconic Western hero's battle with forces beyond his control." Here's the cover for the book, followed by the official synopsis...


"Written by John J. McLauchlin with art from Mick Reinman, 7 Holes for Air introduces us to Bob Rourke, the kind of man they don't make anymore. He's a tough son of a bitch; a fifty-year-old steelworker who smokes, drinks, and never complains, even when he's in pain. When Bob is facing the end, disease ravaging his body, he soldiers on at home, at work, and in an alternate Spaghetti Western reality in which his real-life antagonists become actual villains. Now, Bob will stare down death the only way he knows how - with grit and determination - as he struggles against the ghosts of his past and the desire to leave something behind for his wife and daughter."

Paxton will be attending next month's San Diego Comic-Con 2013, making a special appearance on July 18th to sign copies of the book.
