This collection investigates the evolution of comics and horror by analysing a range of approaches and traditions. International contributors explore how multiple aspects of comics (forms, cultures, histories) have contributed to the depiction and development of horror across many subgenres (folk horror, ecohorror, gothic romance and more); their chapters also show how horror has informed the development of comics across multiple periods, places and genres, from seventeenth-century broadsheets to newspaper strips, weeklies and contemporary graphic novels, spanning Brazil, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK and USA. By considering well-known horror comics alongside understudied ones, this book re-examines and re-energises established concepts, such as the abject, the Other and closure, applying them to diverse texts, contexts, authors and audiences, and demonstrating the potential of comics and horror to encourage innovations of form and content in each other.

Journey to the beginnings of the bloody days of the Haitian Revolution, with a classic tale of revenge and reclamation, reimagined with a horror twist, in The Curse of Monte Cristo.

France, 1788. Edmond Dantès, a Haitian of African descent and Parisian citizen has been sentenced to a life of hell at Château d’If for treason against the Ancien Régime. Once a man of faith, Edmond believes he’s been abandoned by God, and the only thing that keeps him going is his deep hatred of those who he believes have framed him. Faria, an older prisoner who becomes a mentor to Edmond, confesses, “I am not flesh of this realm. Your lust for revenge drew me here.” Together, they escape the prison and return to Saint Domingue, where the smell of rebellion is thick in the air. Edmond, once an enslaved man himself, thought he had escaped the colonized land and his past life for good, only to return as the wealthy and mysterious Count of Monte Cristo. In pursuit of his enemies – including Mercedes, once his fiancée – he finds his careful rage growing only more reckless and ravenous. Haydee, a young revolutionist, tries to use his fury for good, while Faria, drunk off the misery Edmond has caused, hungers for the fresh taste of innocent blood. As Edmond’s enemies begin to catch on to the count’s true identity, and the fight for liberation from the French colonists swells to a pop, Edmond must reckon with the deal he’s made with Faria. Is it any more sinister – or any different – than the pact he’s made with his own inner demons?

From the celebrated creators behind Starman and The Flash comes this new supernatural graphic novel about slasher monsters, mad scientists, and cult movie-inspired horror.

How do you kill a monster? One scared little girl named ‘Patra had better learn quickly…or else!

A fun, new take on 1970s slasher movie villains, with a unique heroine who has to defeat that horror before it’s too late.

A small mid-western town is terrorized by a masked maniac named Jeremy Jones. A family is slaughtered. And a young girl named ‘Patra awakens in a nearby forest, with no memory of who she is or how she got there. All she knows is that same killer wants her dead and that whenever she’s in danger a strange mask and dagger appear on her face and hand, as if to protect her. How? Why? That all part of the mystery.

The road ‘Patra must walk is a strange one, full of twists and secrets and ghostly encounters with her dead sister who guides her on a dangerous mission to avenge her family and defeat Jeremy Jones forever. But how can ‘Patra win this battle with evil when nothing is quite what it seems with unexpected twists and turns, and nothing is quite as it seems… even ‘Patra herself!

Join young ‘Patra as she begins her quest to stop the terror here in this first arc, with future arcs featuring other killers to follow, each inspired by a different movie maniac. And all this while Patra tries to learn the truth about herself too, as well as the evil genius who is secretly orchestrating everywhere.

Collects issues #1-4 of ‘Patra.

From Eisner Award–nominated writer/artist Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) comes a 56-page, self-contained one-shot that delivers a brutal new vision of capitalism by combat…

In the future, the World Finance League exists to benefit all, randomly choosing those from among the billionaires and trillionaires of the world and presenting them with a choice: either donate half of their assets to the common good—or defend them in ritual combat. Reigning champion and real estate magnate Ted Brooks has 22 victories under his belt — defending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to get—when he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training, waiting for this moment. But will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anything — absolutely anything — to keep his fortune?

It’s every shareholder for themselves when death and bankruptcy collide in Free for All #1, a giant-sized, one-shot spectacle of commerce and carnage coming this March from Eisner Award–nominated cartoonist Patrick Horvath!
