Dark Horse debuts a real Lady Killer. No really, she’s a lady who’s a killer

A 1960s era hired gun who also happens to be a homemaker?

Betty Draper meets Hannibal!

Josie Schuller is a picture-perfect homemaker, wife, and mother—but she’s also a ruthless, efficient killer for hire! A brand-new original comedy series that combines the wholesome imagery of early 1960s domestic bliss with a tightening web of murder, paranoia, and cold-blooded survival.

Now this is just stinking cool. The 60s vibe is awesome all by itself, but it looks like writer Joëlle Jones is really having a good time with it. Josie looks like a homemaker in reality, and it isn’t just a cover or something, as she lives tow lives in this darkly comedic tale that seems to have style to spare.

The art by Jamie Rich is pretty special too, with a grounded feel that nonetheless has a homicidal twist that puts it right in line with the best (and maybe the worst in a way) that Dark Horse has in its stable. Also, that promo illustration is pure gold.
