A Folk Horror Nightmare! Mad Cave Announces Blue Palo Verde!
There’s a bad seed in the town of Eden.
Mad Cave Studios is proud to announce Blue Palo Verde, a gripping folk-horror miniseries from Eisner-nominated writer Ray Fawkes (Underwinter, One Soul, Constantine) and artist Rimanti, with colors by Rifan Kartakusumah and letters by Frank Cvetkovic.
With an atmosphere thick with suspense and haunting imagery—from the golden petals of the Palo Verde flowers to the eerie presence of a goddess whose love binds the town together—Blue Palo Verde asks: What if people truly figured out how to bring paradise to Earth, and you were the one destined to destroy it?
BLUE PALO VERDE
Writer: Ray Fawkes – Artist: Rimanti
Colorist: Rifan Kartakusumah – Letterer: Frank Cvetkovic
Release Date: June 11, 2025
Synopsis: On her first day out of jail, Kristine Woods discovers that her father has disappeared into a mysterious isolated town hidden in the New Mexico desert. Now it’s up to her to find him and rescue him from a bizarre and unnatural threat. An atmospheric folk-horror story of dread and redemption set in the American Southwest, starting in June 2025!
Meet the Creators!
“I’m incredibly proud to see Blue Palo Verde realized as something just as creepy, just as weird and beautiful and off-kilter, as I always imagined and hoped it could be. Thanks to the incredible team assembled at Mad Cave, and especially to my artists, Rimanti Nurdarina and Rifan Kartakusumah, who’ve brought all the madness to life! This is a book about connection and hope in a seemingly senseless, violent world, something that I think is on our minds a lot in this day and age, and it means a lot to me!”
– Writer, Ray Fawkes (He/Him)
“In the midst of my move to the States, I was given the incredible opportunity to illustrate Blue Palo Verde. As a total rookie in the industry, I can’t thank Mad Cave and my project manager, Rifan, enough for their patience and support while I tackled the steep learning curve. Their guidance has been invaluable, and I’m beyond grateful. Blue Palo Verde marks my debut in the American comic scene, hope you’ll look forward to it!”
– Artist, Rimanti
“I’m very grateful to Mad Cave for trusting me and Rimanti to work on Blue Palo Verde. This is my first project with a big publisher as a colorist after so many indie projects that I’ve worked on. I am very grateful for this opportunity.“
– Colorist, Rifan Kartakusumah
