Don’t mess with the devil’s ride. Unfortunately, this rule is lost on thieves Bobby Ray and Dahlia when they boost Lucifer’s wheels as the getaway car for their seemingly perfect heist. The only flaw in their plan? Satan wants it back, and there’s hell to pay in DRIVE LIKE HELL, a new four-part limited series coming from Dark Horse Comics this October.

A full-throttle, supernatural ride through a hellscape populated with demonic cops, Satanic biker gangs and an unholy host of madcap characters, DRIVE LIKE HELL is the creation of writer Rich Douek and artist Alex Cormack (Sea of Sorrows, Breath of Shadows, Road of Bones).

“When I started writing DRIVE LIKE HELL, I had one rule,” says author Rich Douek. “If I had an idea that seemed too crazy, too extreme or too outrageous, I had to go ahead and do it. The result is a story that I hope is as fun to read as it was to write.”

“Drawing a car chase, something that depends so much on movement, was something I always wanted to try out in comics.” adds artist Alex Cormack. “Growing up watching The Blues Brothers and The French Connection … Hell, I even made an animation in college that was a smash ’em up car chase called Burnout. I’ve always loved car chases, so when Rich mentioned the idea for DRIVE LIKE HELL, I was immediately on board. I can’t wait for people to see this!”
