Do you love Nascar? Do you love Bigfoots? If the answer to both questions is yes, then you fall into the perfect demographic for the latest comic from SBI Press. Of course, we couldn't possibly be talking about anything other than Nasquatch, a new series by Kelly Williams and the Mark Millar of Kansas City, CW Cooke.

Nasquatch is the story of Nas and Denny, two disparate souls brought together by racing, cars, and a love of the outdoors. Also, Nas is a sasquatch who is an unbelievable driver and Denny lives in a trailer park and just wants a better life.

In the press release, SBI Press's Trevor Richardson reveals that he hunts Bigfoots for fun:

This book is the exact kind of fun we're looking to have in 2019 – mashing up genres in unexpected and hilarious ways with creators we hope will keep coming back to goof off in our playground. I've been hunting Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest for years and these guys found him in a Camaro with an AR-KANSAS license plate.

Dude! That's messed up. Leave Bigfoot alone! He's just trying to his life!

As for the series, here's how the press release describes its origin:

The idea of Nasquatch was won by Kelly Williams in an arm wrestling match against a chupacabra. Kelly decimated the 3 ft 4 inch malnourished cryptid and then approached CW to assist in telling this tale. A tale so wonderfully insane it would take 10 people to tell, but they decided to settle on doing the best they could between themselves so they didn't have to split the money 10 ways! What about the chupacabra, you ask? Fine, he's writing it, but we're keeping him locked in a closet and taking all of the credit, okay?

CW Cooke, a human/bear/sasquatch hybrid who yearned to tell the tale of his brethren in comic book form, had this to say after months of fist fights, drinking, and plotting of ideas, "Nasquatch is going to be unbelievably weird and fun. It stars a sasquatch who drives a car, for crying out loud."

"I like sasquatches," Kelly Williams said, "and I guess comics too. You're welcome."

We'll give this to Starburns Industries Press: their press releases are never boring, unlike most other publishers.

Launching in the Starburns Presents Free Comic Book Day Issue, Nasquatch will be a digital-first series which will be collected as trade paperbacks.
