Image Comics Announces New Humour-Horror Graphic Novel ‘The Dark Room’ With A First Look
by Olly MacNamee
Writer Gerry Duggan (X-Men, Deadpool), artist Scott Buoncristiano (Angel, Angel + Spike) and colourist Tamra Bonvillain (Once & Future, Wonder Woman) have produced an all-new graphic novel titled The Dark Room. One part horror and another part humour mash-up, The Dark Room is due to be in stores this June from Image Comics
“Dounia Mahoney is no ordinary broker of antiquities, she sees the world’s many blessings and curses and tries to keep cursed items out of the wrong hands. She and her friends set out to hunt for a camera containing an undeveloped photo of the face of true evil threatens to wipe out New York City one chilly autumn evening. If you didn’t already want to read it, there’s also a werewolf and the dancing bones of Times Square with a haunted boom box. The comic is pure, uncut fun.”
Duggan states:
“Collaborating with Scott and Tamra has been one of the great joys of the last year. It combines so many things I love: monsters, photography, ancient evils, a werewolf, New York City, and the skeleton of a young man that died breakdancing in the mid-eighties. Scott is going to be your new favorite artist, and if you don’t have fun with this comic, you’re at least a little dead on the inside.”
Buoncristiano added:
“I couldn’t be happier that my first comic is a hardcover graphic novel published by Image Comics, the best place for creator-owned comics.”
The Dark Room original graphic novel is available Wednesday, June 22nd in comic book stores and online and in bookstores on Tuesday, June 28th, 2022.
