Cartoonist Kyle Starks (SEXCASTLE, Rick and Morty) continues his hobo-riffic historical fiction series with ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN #5, which kicks off the second, and final, story arc—and reveals the dramatic origin story of the World’s Toughest Hobo.
We travel through deals with devils, world wars, trench battles, magical artifacts, shocking turns, and tragic decisions. The world’s only kung-fu hobo epic continues in this exciting
flashback adventure.
“We're heading down the last stretch of track on my hobo kung fu epic,” said Starks, “and I assure you: every single part of this thing is amping up toward a huge climax that you won't want to miss!”
ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN #5 (Diamond code: SEP170768) arrives in comic shops Wednesday, November 8th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, October 16th.
