Image Comics Announces New Pulp Neon Horror ‘You’ll Do Bad Things’ By Tyler Boss And Adriano Turtulici

Award-winning Writer/artist Tyler Boss, artist Adriano Turtulici, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou have a new horror miniseries from Image Comics. You’ll Do Bad Things is a six-issue pulpy, gory serial killer murder mystery, if you like Dario Argento you’ll like this, I am informed.

What do you think from the preview pages?

“In You’ll Do Bad Things, it’s been ten years since the release of He Came in with a Smile, the true crime smash hit that chronicled the brutal murders committed by the Nursery Rhyme Killer. But in the decade since its release, its author Seth Holms hasn’t produced another title. He wants to write a story with a happy ending, but every time his fingers clack across the keyboard it always ends in his character’s death. Worse yet? These tales of blood and barbarity that flow so freely from Seth’s mind are starting to happen in real life.”

Here’s Tyler Boss with his unique thoughts on his ideal distribution model and more:

“I’d like the only way you would hear about this book is from a friend who tries to describe it to you as some half remembered dream. They loan you the copy they got from the video comic book rental store that’s been living underneath their bed with the nicked up corner and a sticky cola stain on the front cover. You try to pick off a bit of the lint (at least I hope it’s lint) that is clinging to the stain, but you just end up tearing a bit of the cover off. Better not to mess with it anymore and just dive in. You turn the page and read as all that blood starts to pool around you.”

Adriano and I are trying to make something that feels tactile and constant. It’s a love letter to the Italian slasher genre of Giallo, with all the blood and nudity you’d expect. It’s a critique of the True Crime genre, and our cultural fascination with serial killers. But mostly it’s a fun and nasty comic book, which are my favorite things in the world. I hope you’ll join us.”

Turtulici added:

”You’ll Do Bad Things is the best thing that has happened to me in comics so far. Tyler gave me trust and creative freedom, working with him has been a blast from day one. I hope you love it as much as I loved working on it.”

You’ll Do Bad Things #1 (of 6) will be out on Wednesday, March 26th, 2025 from Image Comics.
