\n<\/p>

One of comics\u2019 most beloved all-ages heroes sets sail once again!\u00a0<\/p>\n

This fall, Dark Horse Comics<\/a> welcomes readers back to the world of Canto with CANTO: THE CLOCKWORK CHRONICLES<\/i>, a brand-new ongoing series from Eisner and GLAAD Award-nominated writer David M. Booher<\/b> (Ghostbusters, Dungeons & Dragons<\/i>), co-creator and acclaimed series artist Drew Zucker<\/b> (The House, Monsterverse Declassified<\/i>), colorist Vittorio Astone<\/b>, and letterer AndWorld Design<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Action! Suspense! Adventure! Set sail with Canto across the Mechanical Sea!\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

In this all-new ongoing series, the small knight with a big heart travels the Unnamed World to help those in need. That mission takes him to the mysterious Forgotten Isles, where jungle fauna mixes with strange machines. What happened to the Forgotten People who once lived there? That mystery must wait when catastrophe befalls his best friend Mico the Malorex. Will Canto\u2019s courage be enough to save his companion? Or will their journey end at the bottom of the Mechanical Sea?<\/i><\/p>\n

Since its debut in 2019, Canto<\/i> has captured readers’ hearts through stories of courage, friendship, and the belief that even the smallest hero can change the world. Now, Booher and Zucker begin a brand-new era perfect for new readers while staying true to the heart that has made the series a modern classic.<\/p>\n

Canto: The Clockwork Chronicles<\/i> #1 features an exciting lineup of covers, with a main cover by Drew Zucker and Vittorio Astone<\/b>, and variants by Duncan Fegredo<\/b>, Mr. Oz<\/b>, and the first of a series of collectible \u201cvintage pulp\u201d incentive covers from Lukas Ketner<\/b>.<\/p>\n

David M. Booher<\/b> reflected on bringing Canto into a new chapter:<\/p>\n

\u201cCanto has always lived in an expansive world, full of undiscovered stories about courage and adventure and helping others. That\u2019s why the new ongoing series The Clockwork Chronicles<\/i> is about expanding the adventures for new readers meeting the character for the first time. The whole team has worked hard to keep the magic that makes Canto so captivating while launching an exciting new era of stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Drew Zucker<\/b>, the new series is a natural extension of the world:<\/p>\n

\u201cCanto<\/i> has always been a story designed to bring readers new and seasoned to his world.\u00a0 When we completed The Shrouded Man Saga<\/i> and began to talk about what Canto\u2019s adventures would look like going forward, we knew we had more stories to tell and worlds to explore.\u00a0 With that, we have brought to life The Clockwork Chronicles<\/i>, setting Canto on a whole new journey for those who have already discovered Canto<\/i>, and those coming to the adventure for the first time.\u00a0 The entire team has invested heavily into this next part of the story, and we can’t wait to take those first steps with all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
