WHEN THE BLOOD HAS DRIED
Writer: Gary Moloney – Artist: Daniel Romero
Letterer: Becca Carey
Release Date: April 3rd, 2024
Synopsis: Years ago, a stranger came to Carraig an Bhun, a little town on the edge of the Southern Territories. The locals eventually came to see this “blow-in,” Meabh of Cklonia, as one of their own. Now, Meabh has taken over as proprietor of The Lough Inn, finding a semblance of peace after a lifetime of adventuring… however, the proposed opening of a branch of the Adventurers’ Guild risks dragging her past into the present. What would the townsfolk do if they discovered their beloved barkeep was once part of a ruthless band of rogue sell-swords masquerading as noble heroes?

“This is a story that has been in the works in one shape or another for quite some time and I couldn’t be happier to be bringing WHEN THE BLOOD HAS DRIED to Mad Cave Studios later this year. It’s a book about learning to live with the regret of a life of violence when forgiveness and redemption aren’t on the table. I’ve always been an avid reader of the epic fantasy genre but for this book, I wanted to view epic fantasy through the lens of the spaghetti western and demythologise its archetypal heroes. I also strived to give a uniquely Irish spin on a genre that has a tendency to co-opt the language, folklore, and culture of Ireland as setting dressing. Perhaps more than anything else, I was delighted to be able to work again with Daniel, who was one of my earliest collaborators back in my self-publishing days, on a comic that draws on our shared love of grimdark fantasy and slow-burn, character-led stories.”
-Author, Gary Moloney
“Working on WTBHD has been a dream come true, in which I’ve poured all my concerns, wishes, and will; I haven’t held anything back.
Within the pages are each and every one of my life experiences that I could convey, from the calm of the most ordinary villager to the deepest pain of the main characters. I bet my soul that anyone who reads this story will leave with a piece of it, and that’s all I want.”
-Illustrator, Daniel Romero Ulloa
