NH – Baja Signing

Writer Ben Wagner appears at Double Midnight on Wednesday December 21st between 5 and 7pm as he signs copies of his IDW graphic novel Baja!
 
Illustrator Nathan St John and writer Ben Wagner bring modern noir to the West in the original graphic novel BAJA. In this sexy, twisting thriller, Hil and Zack – a beautiful woman and a man who knows better – must escape a stalker whose fate is tied to their own. St John and Wagner play with conventions, leading readers in unexpected directions with a story that deftly weaves two tales of love, sex, greed, and betrayal. St John’s distinctive art style perfectly matches the shadowy criminal world of BAJA.
