LOS ANGELES, CA / NEW YORK, NY – March 26th, 2024 – DSTLRY, the next-generation comics publisher and physical-digital collectibles company that redefines creator-owned comic books for consumers worldwide, is thrilled to announce an exciting addition to the WHITE BOAT universe. This Summer, the chilling series crafted by Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla will be enhanced by an atmospheric soundtrack from Noel Heroux, the New York-based indie rock powerhouse behind Hooray for Earth and Mass Gothic.
The first outing of this sprawling accompaniment sets sail in a premium 7-inch vinyl, signed by Heroux, Snyder, and Francavilla available via your local comic shop. This 7-inch release marks a first-of-its-kind venture for DSTLRY, blending the immersive worlds of comics and music.
Crafting an “oceanic noise terror soundtrack,” Heroux’s work perfectly captures the essence of WHITE BOAT, providing fans with a multi-sensory experience that elevates the tale’s Lovecraftian maritime horror. The soundtrack, debuting first in a premium 7-inch vinyl format, offers a unique collectible for fans. Each limited-edition vinyl is signed by Heroux, Snyder, and Francavilla, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Debuting this May, WHITE BOAT revolves around a titular mega-yacht that the super-rich use to traverse the globe—floating islands where your every desire can be fulfilled. And getting invited on board should be a dream come true…that is until the crew traps and transports you to a remote island where secret cults have existed for millennia, working on something called “The Human Project.” Does the White Boat ship you to paradise or sink you into hell on earth?
WHITE BOAT reunites Scott Snyder, the visionary writer who redefined comic book dread with Wytches and introduced Batman into a terrifying, cerebral era, with modern noir master Francesco Francavilla for a white-knuckle descent into Lovecraftian maritime madness. DSTLRY Founding Editor and frequent Snyder collaborator Will Dennis joins as editor. Noel Heroux, with over two decades of experience as a national recording artist, including work under the esteemed Sub Pop Records label, brings his vast musical expertise to the WHITE BOAT project.
Fans are encouraged to contact their local comic shops to secure their copy of the 7-inch WHITE BOAT Vinyl, signed by the creative trio behind this innovative project. This release not only celebrates the launch of the WHITE BOAT comic series but also marks a significant moment in the fusion of comic book storytelling and musical exploration. Issue #1 of WHITE BOAT hits stores this May with the 7-inch releasing in June.
