Extended Preview And Cover Gallery: Die (Again And Again) In ‘Dead Teenagers’ #1

Oni Press has revealed an early look inside the terrifying, decade-warping pages of Dead Teenagers #1. The 1990s-era time loop of terror finds five friends living (and dying) endlessly inside their high school prom night. Get an extended look inside the first issue of the sardonically sharp and gloriously gory new series from writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle and artist Caitlin Yarsky before the first issue arrives in comic shops everywhere on March 18th, 2026.

Since 1997, five friends have been trapped in the ultimate nightmare as a mysterious entity forces them to relive their first prom night over and over again … and re-kills them in new and increasingly insane ways each time. They dress up. They party. They make out. And no matter what they try to change, they always die … until now. Something is about to break the cycle that has kept J.T., Ryder, Brandy, and their group of friends locked in a bizarre purgatory beyond all understanding … but what they find on the other side will be the most disturbing revelation of all.

“The only thing scarier than change is never changing,” said Doyle. “Dead Teenagers is a story about the terror of nostalgia — how it draws us in and keeps us trapped in a youth that was never as fun as it was cracked up to be — and a love letter to the rambunctious, goofy energy of all the slashers that I love.”

“Most of us wouldn’t choose to experience our teenage years again, given the chance … but what if you couldn’t escape from it?” added Yarsky. “This story eloquently explores identity, ostracism, patriarchy, empathy and so much more, all wrapped up in ’90s teen thriller and horror movie nostalgia.”

With a unique variant cover on each issue by interior series artist Yarsky paying homage to an iconic film from the decade alongside main covers by Naomi Franq and variants by Keyla Valerio and the team of Ted Brandt and Ro Stein, break the cycle with the deadly clever Dead Teenagers #1 this March.
