THE DEVIL MADE A DEAL WITH THE WRONG MAN. 

Danny Trejo Presents: YEAR OF THE DEVIL is a brand new 150+ page graphic novel that is an ideal match for fans of Machete and Conan starring Danny Trejo as DIEGO, a cursed warrior reborn across centuries to battle the Devil and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Created by Danny Trejo (Machete, Spy Kids, Breaking Bad), Keith Arem (Call of Duty, Street Fighter 6, Ascend), and Chris Yates (Marcus Walker: Kingslayer Protocol), this swashbuckling epic spans across time and space centering around love, loss and revenge. Alongside them, bringing the story to life is Italian artist Frank Mazzoli (BRZRKR, Axl Rose: Appetite For Destruction, Dune: Edge Of A Crysknife) with an exclusive main cover by the prolific Dan Quintana (Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman).

Following the Aztec Massacre of Toxcatl, Spanish conquistador Diego de Rojas travels across Mexico, haunted by the loss of the woman he loves. His journey leads him to a hidden prison beneath Chichén Itzá, where he inadvertently unleashes Lucifer upon the world.

To prevent the Devil's escape, Diego makes an impossible sacrifice, binding his soul and flesh to an ancient curse. Condemned to walk the Earth for centuries, Diego is killed and reborn throughout history, forced into an endless war against the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

But after 500 years of bloodshed, Diego begins to question everything he's been fighting for.

Danny Trejo Presents: YEAR OF THE DEVIL was conceived as a sweeping horror action epic that honors Danny's legacy. To realize this vision without compromising on production or design, we determined that traditional publication is not feasible in the current comic and graphic novel market.

We chose to pursue crowdfunding through BackerKit to best support this project. These items are produced in limited batches due to their unique and complex nature. Most will not be available in this format again. EVER.

We believe Danny's audience is unique, and we want to create this experience together. This approach ensures Danny Trejo Presents: YEAR OF THE DEVIL is released as Danny and the creators intended.

Backers who pledge in the first 48 hours of the campaign at any reward level will receive an exclusive Danny Trejo Presents: YEAR OF THE DEVIL mini film poster print!
