About the series
In the late 2010s, writer and artist Kyle Starks brought Image Comics the surreal, hard-boiled hobo epic Rock Candy Mountain. This eight-issue series follows a mysterious drifter on a mythic, cross-country journey through a Depression-era America where the supernatural lurks beneath the rails and boxing matches decide fates. Starks' distinctive, deadpan humor and expressive cartooning shape a world that's equal parts tall tale, martial arts saga, and road movie. A unique blend of Americana and absurdity, it stands as a cult favorite for its singular voice and heartfelt weirdness.
