Friends, I’m absolutely thrilled to share an exclusive preview of the first five pages of LAWFUL #1, the first issue of a brand new comic book series written by Greg Pak (hey, that’s me!), drawn by Diego Galindo, colored by Irma Kniivila, and lettered by Simon Bowland.
LAWFUL #1 hits stores on June 12 — but May 20 is the final order cutoff date for comic shops to order the book from the publisher, BOOM! Studios. So please ask your local comic book shop to preorder the book for you TODAY!
LAWFUL tells the story of two young heroes coming of age in a world in which any time you break the rules, you turn a little more into a monster. Check out the FreakSugar interview for more about the series — and feast your eyes on the gorgeous pages below and the covers from Qistina Khalidah, Miguel Mercado, and Erica Henderson!
I’ll say it once again — PLEASE do preorder the book with your local comic book shop! An indie book like this depends hugely on preorders, and you can make a huge difference with just one call. Thank you so much!

Big news, friends! I’m writing a new original comic series called LAWFUL, published by BOOM! Studios and drawn by Diego Galindo with colors by Irma Kniivila, letters by Simon Bowland, cover by Qistina Khalidah, and editing by Shantel LaRoque! Coming this June!
“Imagine a chunk of a big city ripped from Earth in the 1980s, set down on a fantastical planet, and cursed with one simple spell: every time you break a rule, you turn a bit more into a monster. Now jump forward 75 years and let’s see what happens.”
LAWFUL is one of the most personal and fantastical stories I’ve ever written. There’s a lot in there about my specific Asian American experience growing up in the 1980s and that only semi-conscious, desperate feeling that following the rules to the letter will provide safety. And there are monsters.
Check out these amazing designs of our young heroes Sung and Eris from Diego Galindo! So much character in just these sketches!
I love this book and I love these characters and I love love love what artist Diego, Irma, Simon, and all our cover artists doing to breathe life into this world. It feels really special and I hope you’ll preorder LAWFUL #1 with your local comics shop!

The book was written by Greg Pak (hey, that’s me!) with interior art by Giulia Giacomino, letters by Jeff Eckleberry, editing by Nate Cosby, cultural consulting by Moana McAdams, and covers by Nicoletta Baldari, Trish Forstner, Edwin Galmon, Craig Rousseau.
The official blurb:
Having evaded the agents of the evil Cluster Sovereign, Stitch has landed in New York City, where he finds the perfect place to hide: a toy convention! But can he evade the Sovereign’s drones long enough for Lilo to find him? Or will Manhattan become the latest battleground for Experiment 626?
DARTH VADER #44 is in stores today! Written by Greg Pak with interior line art by Adam Gorham and Paul Fry, colors by Federico Blee, letters by Joe Caramagna, cover by Leinil Yu and Romulo Fajardo Jr., and editing by Mark Paniccia, Mikey J. Basso, and Danny Khazem.
