»Barnstormers« wurde ausgezeichnet mit dem Eisner Award 2023 als Bester Digitaler Comic.

Hawk E. Baron ist einer von ihnen, aber sein großer Durchbruch als Barnstormer lässt auf sich warten. Bis er Tillie kennenlernt, eine junge Frau, die Hawks Abenteuerlust und seine Leidenschaft für die Fliegerei teilt. Ihre gemeinsamen Auftritte verschaffen ihnen schnell Ruhm und Geld – bis ihnen ein brutaler Mord angehängt wird. Tillie und Hawk werden zur Flucht gezwungen. Je brenzliger ihre Situation wird, desto näher kommen sie sich... Ein schwindelerregendes, romantisches Abenteuer über den Wolken, das in Sachen knisternder Spannung der Ballade von Bonnie und Clyde in nichts nachsteht! »Barnstormers« stellt sowohl Scott Snyders Talent für mitreißende Erzählungen als auch die stimmungsvolle Zeichenkunst von Tula Lotay unter Beweis.
