    Default Lobster Johnson: A Chain Forged in Life



    Story by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi, art by Troy Nixey, cover by Tonci Zonjic. On shelves July 29, 2015.

    Santa is in trouble! Santa was taken hostage after witnessing a hostile robbery and the death of a man. Hidden away in a mountain cabin, will the Lobster be able to find Santa and save Christmas?

    Scott Allie: OK, this one is a lark. We hadn't worked with Troy in a long time, and John Arcudi suggested him for one of the non-Tonci Zonjic Lobster Johnson issues. We're calling this one Christmas in July, because it is a Christmas story of sorts - complete with a riff on 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, and a down-on-his-luck department store Santa. It's really the most clever, wonky, yet grim thing John possibly could have done, with a very lame heist, and some real unattractive characters, Dick Tracy villains through the lens of Boardwalk Empire, with a fairly silent and murderous hero.

    That's a hell of a pitch.

    What?!? You want them to push out a new Lobster Johnson story for another five months?!?

    Besides, if it's a hot July/August, won't a winter story be welcome relief?

    A look at Tonci Zonjic's process.

    I loved it. I thought John Arcudi's dialogue worked perfectly with Troy Nixey's art. And the reveal at the end really deepens the Lobster's mythology.

    I agree. It was a great issue.
    Which reveal at the end of the book are you referring to?
