Celebrated Starman scribe James Robinson and Super Friend’s J. Bone bring a new supernatural and magical mystery series to Dark Horse!

WELCOME TO THE MAYNARD #1 hits your local comic book store on November 27th, but thanks to Dark Horse Comics, Monkeys Fighting Robots has an exclusive five-page preview for you!

About the graphic novel:
“Welcome to the Maynard!”

The Maynard is a hotel unlike any other, a place where every guest and staff member has magic in their veins. It’s a hotel for magicians, witches, and otherworldly beings. It’s also where Phillipa (Pip) Dale begins her first day as the hotel’s new bellhop (and trainee house detective). She’s immediately sent on the hunt for a magical hotel thief whose daring thefts are part of a much bigger mystery, one that could turn deadly at any moment. And that’s just one of the many challenges and perils Pip must face in her new job in the magical Maynard Hotel, a wonderful, thrilling, fun place… so please come in and stay a while.

The fantasy mystery series reunites Eisner Award-winners James Robinson and J. Bone. Joining the duo are Ian Herring on colors and Jim Campbell on letters. The main cover is by J. Bone, with a variant cover by Chris Samnee. There is also a FOC variant available by Fábio Moon.

“It’s a thrill to be reunited with my dear friend J. Bone,” says Robinson. “I love his art and his collaborative spirit, both, so Welcome To The Maynard has been a joy to write. I’m also excited to do a series (akin to Leave It To Chance, back in the day) that can be enjoyed on different levels, by readers young and old.”

While WELCOME TO THE MAYNARD has magical mystery and danger, it is also a book filled with hope and joy, and is written to appeal to all ages. The miniseries will run for four issues.
