Turncoat #1 (Raw VF/NM) - BOOM! Studios (Artyom Trakhanov Main Cover A, Key Issue)

Add a key modern sci-fi debut to your comic shop inventory with Turncoat #1, published by BOOM! Studios! Created and written by Alex Paknadel with interior and cover art by Artyom Trakhanov and colors by Jason Wordie, this gripping 4-issue miniseries delivers a gritty, post-alien-occupation noir detective story.

The upper-left corner displays a prominent banner reading PAKNADEL & TRAKHANOV'S TURNCOAT with issue indicator 1 OF 4 alongside the BOOM! STUDIOS logo box and creator credits (ALEX PAKNADEL / ARTYOM TRAKHANOV / JASON WORDIE). The bottom-left corner includes the barcode box with cover pricing ($3.99 US) and signature credit reading TRAKHANOV 2016.

The vivid, stylized cover artwork—crafted by Artyom Trakhanov—depicts protagonist Marta Gonzalez, a former human officer who collaborated with alien oppressors during the invasion. She stands facing away from the viewer holding a weapon, looking out over a ruined city under a bright yellow sky filled with floating alien monoliths, while an angry mob in the foreground raises weapons and fists against her.

Set years after the alien "Management" leaves Earth, the story follows Marta, now a private investigator despised by her own species, as she takes on a missing-persons case that threatens to unravel dangerous secrets from the occupation.

This unslabbed raw comic issue is in top-tier collectible condition (estimated VF/NM 9.0 or better), featuring sharp corners, a pristine spine, and exceptional color vibrancy—making it an essential pickup for fans of Alex Paknadel, Artyom Trakhanov, BOOM! Studios, and indie sci-fi noir comics.
