The new graphic novel, Yellow, is set in an alternate future in which the Second American Civil War is raging and follows a wounded soldier, Nick Carson, on his trek across a country marked by war. With the power plants destroyed, cities lie in darkness, and law and order have broken down, but Carson, who has been condemned to death, knows his only hope of survival is to navigate this wasteland. Like Lost Boy, Yellow is written, drawn, and colored by Martin, with lettering by Frank Cvetkovic. Dark Horse will release the 208-page hardcover on May 14, 2024, in bookstores and May 15, 2024, in comic shops with an MSRP of $24.99.
Lost Boy has a similar theme, with a young boy who is the sole survivor of a car accident making his way across the Wyoming wilderness.
