of the show’s indie hits, buying over 17,500 physical and digital copies of The Addiction #1
NYCC Premiere. We are comic fans ourselves and always try to make New York Comic Con

The Addiction: She can drug you with her touch! Will she cure… or kill?
Faced with a plague of addiction, criminal cartels, and colorfully chaotic villains, Dr. Niki
Tino strives to master her uncanny power to be the cure in our sick world. The Addiction:
The Touch #1 continues her journey as she spirals into the darkest places while still
standing up for the chance of recovery to help us all find hope. But Niki’s every little victory
triggers more forces against her to escalate the deadly game. Anything can – and will –
happen!
Co-creator Quinn explains, “Our first chapter, ‘Welcome to the Dancing Plague,’
dramatizes breakthroughs and setbacks as Niki and Enzo endeavor to grow together as
partners — both in life and in the war on drugs. There are also new insane villains to keep
them in jeopardy and constantly guessing. And for readers hungry for a life-changing
confrontation between Niki and Cartel Boss Como Cattivo and her origin – the night Dr.
Tino earned a second chance on life as The Addiction? That crisis and climax begins here!”
David Quinn is a longtime fan favorite for his work on Doctor Strange: Sorcerer
Supreme, Carnage, and Faust, while Vincent Zurzolo made news emerging as a creative
after years as President of Metropolis/ComicConnect.
The Addiction: The Touch #1 has Quinn and Zurzolo continuing to work with top comic
talents including illustrator Claudia Balboni, color artist Brad Simpson, and letterer Dave
Sharpe — along with variant covers from leading cover artists such as Simone Bianchi,
David Finch and Tim Vigil.
