DIGGER #1 (OF 4) CVR A SAM GUDILIN

In 1930s Veracruz, along the Gulf Coast, Olmec ruins lie hidden to outsiders. Locals earn a living guiding academics and scholars through the region, but whispers tell of a dangerous legend—El Excavador—that others should steer clear of. The Boy, driven by his sick grandmother's needs and the lure of money, partners with a wealthy American in a hat. What begins as guidework and treasure hunting evolves into a tense cat-and-mouse chase as trust frays and motives collide. Written by T.S. Luther with art by Sam Gudilin; the B variant features Gudilin with Michael Nelsen on the cover. The first issue sets up a suspenseful series about danger, greed, and the price of curiosity. The art emphasizes shadows, archaeology, and the hard choices faced by those chasing fortune in a world of buried secrets.
