Dare You Read It Alone? A classic horror series rises from
beyond the grave in 2024, featuring four brand-new chilling adventures
from some of the most terrifyingly talented creators in comics!
As revealed earlier today, Misty, the
classic horror series for young women, has been resurrected by megastar
writer Gail Simone, who is being joined by a murderers’ row of talent
for an all-new 48 page anthology special publishing on the 17th July
2024.
First published in 1978, Misty was the brainchild of legendary writer and editor Pat Mills, offering thrills and chills for a generation of young women in the UK and featuring stories from creators including Shirley Bellwood, Jesus Redondo, Jordi BadÃa Romero, and Mills. Running for over 100 issues in total, each issue was hosted by Misty, who acted as a guiding voice for her young readers – and in this new anthology we’ll be telling stories featuring Misty herself for the first time!
This anthology features three brand-new chilling stories written by Simone, with art by Carola Borelli (The Deadliest Bouquet, Spider-Woman), Aly Fell (A Trick of the Light) and Marianna Ignazzi (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), alongside a fourth story written and drawn by rising star Letty Wilson (Owl People). Completing this spectacularly spooky package is a cover from Eisner-winning artist Tula Lotay (Barnstormers)!
The four stories included in this collection are:
In Eleven Lonely Deaths. a true-crime podcaster visits a decades-old crime scene where eleven women lost their lives at the hands of a vicious strangler. There, he meets a mysterious young woman who knows more about the crimes than should be possible…
At The Pub at the End of the Road, an unscrupulous landlord of a dreary pub in the English countryside makes his gifted daughter work her fingers to the bone, and turns a blind eye to the customers’ wandering hands. She seeks solace in a secret love… until she’s forced to use her extraordinary gifts…
Happy Birthday, Mrs. Parker is set in a small English town where nothing’s been quite the same since the murders of eleven women some years ago…
The Cracked Glass – a tale too terrifying to even tell you about! Writer/artist Letty Wilson has some dark surprises in store for readers…
The
Misty 2024 Special is coming to a newsagent or comic book shop near you
on 17th July 2024 – lock the doors twice, make sure you’ve drawn the
curtains, and BY ALL THAT’S HOLY don’t forget to pre-order your copy!
