DC’s Clayface is about to be thrown (literally) into a whole new spotlight, with the release of an upcoming solo movie later this year. The Clayface film, which is set in the DC Universe, will dive into the origin story of the beloved Batman villain in a whole new context. Every new update surrounding the film has left some curious about what comics to turn to: and now, DC is about to add a new one to that roster very soon.
On Thursday, DC announced Clayface: Celebrity Dirt, a six-issue miniseries that will debut its first issue on Wednesday, July 8th. The series is written by Jude Ellison S. Doyle (Dead Teenagers, Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear… and Why) with art by Fran Galán (Absolute Power, Dune: House Harkonnen), colors by Patricio Delpeche (Action Comics, Void Rivals), and lettering by Tom Napolitano (Absolute Flash, Batgirl). Described as a “twisted comeback story” that “blends body horror with Hollywood obsession”, Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #1 will feature a main cover by Galán, with variants by Mike Del Mundo and Dave Johnson.
