Image Comics has released information on a summer special for Curse Words. The special, titled Curse Words Summer Swimsuit Special #1, will release August 22nd. This one-shot will feature interior art by Joe Quinones, who is known for his work in Howard the Duck, America, and Black Canary and Zatanna: Bloodspell.
Writer Charles Soule provided some detail on where the idea came from:
“The Summer Swimsuit Special was born out of my desire to see one simple question answered, one that’s been ringing through my mind since I was a very young child: what would happen if a bunch of weird wizard jerks went to the beach? Now, at last, thanks to the wonderful art of guest artist Joe Quinones and the forbearance of Ryan Browne, we’ll all find out together. This issue is a one-shot story designed to answer lingering questions about some of the main cast of the book, and it has lots of great drama and exciting action—but mostly, yeah, it’s a chance to see a bunch of sunburned sorcerors. It also has my very favorite pun in the series so far, a verbal gag so convoluted that I had to burn like two pages of the issue to set it up. WORTH IT. See you at the seaside, friends!”
