A mysterious stranger. Something called an "anti-door" and a "mother-key." Only 53 chances. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets Locke and Key as writer WYATT KENNEDY and artist LUANA VECCHIO take you on an emotional journey across the multiverse.
"Every so often, a book crosses your path that serves as both a burning reminder of what only comics can do and as a warning shot to the rest of the industry, putting all of us on notice. What KENNEDY and VECCHIO have created is a thrumming, heartfelt bravado story that defies genre even as it defies expectation. It is, genuinely, glorious.
It is an overused phrase in an era of quick-copy and blurbs, but, in all sincerity, BOLERO is a must-read." —GREG RUCKA

It’s early 1945 and the end of World War II is still months away. A small unit of American soldiers faces a contingent of German troops in the Italian Alps. When a fierce snowstorm traps the Americans, THE SILVER COIN asks the soldiers to pay a steep toll if they want to survive the night. A new chapter in the acclaimed horror anthology from STEPHANIE PHILLIPS, JAMES TYNION IV, JOHNNIE CHRISTMAS, PORNSAK PICHETSHOTE, and MICHAEL WALSH is out this month.
