Street Angel Coming This July From Image Comics
May 16, 2017
The Eisner Award-winning creative team of Jim Rugg (Afrodisiac, The PLAIN Janes) and Brian Maruca (Afrodisiac) will release The Street Angel Gang in a full-color hardcover this July from Image Comics.
Jesse Sanchez is a kung fu master on a skateboard, and a homeless orphan failing seventh grade.
In The Street Angel Gang, the deadliest girl alive accidentally joins a super violent street gang. Are the Bleeders the family Jesse never had, or is Jesse the child they never wanted? What? Free snacks at the gang tryout party! Also, SCANDAL—one of the Bleeders is a spy!
“Find out what happens when the Deadliest Girl Alive embraces her inner gangsta,” said Rugg.
“You'll see sleeves in a whole new light!” promised Maruca.
The Street Angel Gang (MAY170648) hits comic book stores Wednesday, July 26th and bookstores Tuesday, August 1st.
