The screwball comedy classic collected in full-color trade
paperback this January Chynna Clugston Flores (BLUE MONDAY, IT GIRL & THE
ATOMICS) will release her dark comedy classic SCOOTER GIRL, with all-new colors
by George Kambadais, in trade paperback this January from Image Comics.
"I'm thrilled about the release of the remastered,
color version of SCOOTER GIRL!” said Clugston Flores. “Editor Ian Shaughnessy
and I have gone over the book meticulously and are proud to be able to present
it in its most polished form to readers in the new year.”
A love letter to mod and scooter culture, SCOOTER GIRL is
the story of Ashton Archer: the Vespa-riding, swanky suit-wearing
man-about-town who has it all. That is, until lightning strikes when the girl
of his dreams motors right past him on her Lambretta—causing him to lose it
all.
Convinced that her presence and antagonization has ruined
his life, Ashton sets out to end the black curse put upon him by any means
necessary. “It's a clearer peek into
the perils of dating while being a jerk,” added Clugston Flores, “set against a
backdrop of a retro 1960s feel in Southern California with its glossy new
standard comic book size, complete with an introduction from original editor
Jamie S. Rich. I hope new readers and revisiting fans will find its dark comedy
as refreshing and fun in technicolor as we do!"
SCOOTER GIRL TP (ISBN: 978-1-63215-942-7) hits comic book
stores Wednesday, January 11th and bookstores Tuesday, January 17th, and will
be available for $14.99. It can be ordered by retailers with Diamond code
OCT160667, and is available for preorder on Amazon, Barnes & Noble,

Select praise for SCOOTER GIRL: "Whenever it comes to
the mod stylings of Chynna Clugston Flores, count me in! Everything she writes
and draws pulses with energetic charm and must not be missed." —Michael
Allred (Madman, Silver Surfer, iZombie)
"Scooter Girl tells a story that is complete and
magical unto itself, with characters that grow and change, a structurally
pleasing concoction that echoes the best of [Billy] Wilder, with perhaps a dash
of Heathers and maybe a little Kill Your Boyfriend." —Jamie S. Rich (THE
