Ellen Janson is here to set the record straight about the highly publicized, oft-sensationalized journey her family undertook in 1846. Ellen sets out with her mother, Irena, and her father, Leo, on the treacherous road west in search of a better life. But when her father chooses to split off from the party, taking an untested shortcut through the mountains, can their small family survive the elements, the wildlife—and each other? Or will their journey become nothing more than another goddamn tragedy?

Featuring covers from interior artist Shawn Kuruneru, as well as illustrators Tula Lotay (Somna), Jacob Phillips (That Texas Blood), Jenna Cha (The Sickness) and Oliver Dominguez (Out of Alcatraz), THE GODDAMN TRAGEDY #1 tells a doomed and disorienting vision of one family’s twisted descent into madness – in stores May 28th!
