Best recognized for his acclaimed creator-owned sequence Harrow County, author Cullen Bunn has made a reputation for himself in the horror style. So it received’t come as a shock that Bunn is teaming up with Basketful of Heads artist Leomacs and colorist Jason Wordie for a spooky sequence known as Ghostlore from BOOM! Studios. Along with the core artwork workforce of Leomacs and Wordie, every concern will function quick tales by visitor artists, starting with Brian Hurtt, who beforehand collaborated with Bunn on Manor Black.
Here’s how the writer describes the sequence:
We’ve all heard of ghost tales…however what ghost tales to the ghost themselves inform?
After a lethal accident, estranged father and daughter Lucas and Harmony Agate can see the lifeless–an amazing quantity of them. Each one with their very own warnings, cries for assist, and malevolence alike. But the pastor and his daughter aren’t the solely ones with this haunting means; there are different nearly-deads, a few of which have malicious intentions…
Bunn described the genesis of the mission that started as a easy idea and grew into one thing extra complicated:
“Ghostlore is something of an ambitious concept. It started with a simple question I asked myself. ‘What ghost stories would ghosts tell?’ From there, though, it spun into this epic story of family, loss, grief, and—just possibly—the end of the world. It’s been in my head for a while, but I wanted to wait until the stars aligned, so to speak, to even give it a try. I’m lucky to be working with an artist as talented as Leomacs on the main story, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the cadre of amazing creators who will be illustrating the ghost stories in each and every issue. It all comes together in a book unlike anything else I’ve worked on.”
Leomacs expressed nice pleasure in collaborating with Bunn on this mission:
“I’m super thrilled to be drawing Cullen Bunn’s Ghostlore for BOOM! Studios. This story has pathos, drama and plenty of thrills to keep everyone on the edge of their seats. As for me, I love a good horror story, especially when the human element is strong and very relatable. Here there will be many layers to peel, and underneath you’ll find more and more elements that will draw you in, demand your sympathy, scare and move you… and I’m going to enjoy drawing every single panel of Ghostlore.”
Editor Ramiro Portnoy added:
“Cullen is a storyteller like no other, marrying heartfelt humanism with dark, gothic horror. Ghostlore is no exception, and the exploration of the horrors of parenthood and the trauma of surviving is the beating heart of this ghost story. I can think of no one better than Leomacs and our star-studded cast of guest artists to help bring that level of emotion to life.”
