LOS ANGELES, CA (August 10, 2022)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 BOOM! Studios announced today\u00a0SPECS<\/strong>, a mysterious new series from highly acclaimed writer David M. Booher (Canto, All-New Firefly<\/em>), artist Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter<\/em>) and colorist Roman Stevens, about a group of misfit teens who mail-order a pair of novelty glasses, and realize they\u2019ve received much more than they bargained for, in stores November 2022. \u00a0

All that high school students Kenny and Ted want is to not feel like outcasts in their small town in Ohio. But their world is turned upside down when the Magic Specs they ordered unlock a world of unforeseen possibilities. . . and consequences. Their fun starts out innocent enough, but when they wish that their bully would disappear, things take a cursed turn, with far darker results than they thought possible\u2026

Channeling his love of 80\u2019s sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, David M. Booher writes for TV, film, and comics. He co-created and wrote fan-favorite fantasy\u00a0Canto\u00a0<\/em>from IDW, now in development as a motion picture with Will Smith\u2019s Westbrook Studios and with David adapting the screenplay. David\u2019s credits also include\u00a0All-New Firefly<\/em>\u00a0for BOOM! Studios,\u00a0Killer Queens<\/em>\u00a0from Dark Horse Comics, the comic adaptation of Joe Hill\u2019s novella\u00a0Rain\u00a0<\/em>for Image Comics, and\u00a0Alien Bounty Hunter<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Powerless\u00a0<\/em>from Vault Comics. An attorney by training, David lives in Los Angeles with his husband and the true brains behind their operation\u2014their adopted greyhounds.

\u201cSPECS\u00a0<\/strong>is my most personal story so far. As a gay kid who grew up in the Midwest, I know how it feels not to fit it. Kenny and Ted\u2019s story as outsiders, filtered through the lenses of wish-granting novelty glasses, is my way of reminding that little kid that he\u2019ll find his place in the world,\u201d said Booher.

Chris Shehan is an American comic artist living in Austin, TX. They have been published by Vault Comics, Black Mask Studios, Scout Comics, A Wave Blue World, and Titan Books. Chris is best known as the artist for the bestselling series\u00a0House of Slaughter<\/em>\u00a0from BOOM! Studios. They are also the artist and co-creator of\u00a0The Autumnal\u00a0<\/em>from Vault Comics. They can be found on Twitter and Instagram @ChrisShehanArt.

\u201cA story about a magic item that grants wishes\u2026 what could possibly go wrong?\u201d said Shehan. \u00a0\u201cDavid Booher, as usual, poured a lot of heart into SPECS and bringing that to life has been such a joy for me.\u201d

SPECS #1<\/strong>\u00a0features main cover art by highly acclaimed artist Skylar Patridge (Trial of the Amazons<\/em>), and variant covers by fan-favorite illustrators Kevin Wada (Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>), Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter<\/em>), David Talaski (Nightwing<\/em>), and more.

\u201cSPECS\u00a0<\/strong>is \u201980s adventure movies, supernatural horror, and small town kids going through some very strange events that will change them and their friendships forever,\u201d said Elizabeth Brei, Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cDavid and Chris have perfectly captured the chaos of teens caught in a trap of their own making and it\u2019ll be up to you, dear readers, to find out if they manage to escape with their lives or sanity intact.\u201d
