The Skin You’re In : A Collection of Horror Comics Available November 13

By: Ashley Robin Franklin

For better or worse, the bodies we inhabit are our homes. But despite the old adage, home isn’t always the safest place to be…

Within these pages, Ashley Robin Franklin leads you through the corridors of the uncanny in eight horror comics that are just begging to get under your skin. Whether set in the arid desert or the rain-soaked forest, these stories reveal the fallibilities of flesh that lurk just beneath the surface. A strange desert flower offers an intoxicating balm to grief, a group of friends invoke an old tale by the campfire, and outside a remote farmhouse, something miraculous and terrible falls from the night sky. Bodies are found, lost, celebrated, borrowed, haunted ― and irrevocably changed.

The Skin You’re In is the definitive collection of Ashley Robin Franklin’s horror comics, showcasing her skillful exploration of queer horror and the ways in which our bodies, relationships, and environments affect us straight to the bone. The book collects all her previously published work, such as One Million Tiny Fires and Fruiting Bodies, as well as five never-before-seen comics, including the 100-page graphic novella Contest Winner. It’s all packaged in a deluxe fabric-bound hardcover with foil accents. Just be warned: you might want to read this collection with the lights on.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Available November 12

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #MaryShelleysFrankenstein – @LegendaryComics – #MaryShelley –

By: Mary Shelley

Mary Shelley’s iconic masterpiece is brought to life with the definitive on-screen Frankenstein, Boris Karloff, in this stunning new graphic novel!

Decades before the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and H.G. Wells, 18-year-old Mary Shelley wrote what many regard as the first work of science fiction when she penned FRANKENSTEIN: or, the MODERN PROMETHEUS, which was published in 1818.

Over one hundred years later, in 1931, a hard-working but relatively unknown actor named Boris Karloff was cast to play Frankenstein’s monster in James Whale’s now classic movie adaptation. The film made Karloff a star and solidified Frankenstein’s monster as an icon of the silver screen.

In 2024, Legendary Comics is proud to bring Shelley and Karloff together for the first time in a faithful adaptation of the novel starring the iconic actor in the lead role of the fully reimagined monster. In partnership with Sara Karloff of Karloff Enterprises, and featuring the artistic talents of Kerry Gammill and El Garing, the team behind the award-winning BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA STARRING BELA LUGOSI, this new graphic novel is certain to delight and terrify old and new fans alike.

Based on a real place and real events, this sequel to Tim Mulligan’s acclaimed Witchland is a thrilling new graphic novel that follows the strange and sometimes terrifying events surrounding an apparent nuclear accident in “the most toxic place in the Western Hemisphere” – an event that kills one of the two dads of a family recently transplanted from Seattle. At the funeral, a mysterious co-worker lets his husband know that she had previously complained to management about the cause of the accident. What follows ventures into family trauma, political intrigue and the occult.

A ghost story and moving family drama, Snitchland is a suspenseful and cautionary tale about what can happen when one, or many, tries to shed light on the dangers lurking in a community – and unspeakable horror happens.
