Timed to National Cat Lover’s Month, Flux House and Dark Horse Comics are saying HAIRBALL by bestselling author Matt Kindt and artist Tyler Jenkins with colours by Hilary Jenkins. In this supernatural thriller from the Eisner-nominated creators of Fear Case and Apache Delivery Service, a dysfunctional household’s mounting issues might or might not be brought about by an unlikely perpetrator: the household’s cat. This horrifying, four-part mini-series is Matt Kindt’s newest sequence with frequent collaborators Tyler Jenkins and Hilary Jenkins.
“I’ve written stories of international intrigue and locked room murder mysteries, but in twenty years of making comics, I’ve rarely been compelled to create a horror story,” mentioned Kindt. “And for good reason. I was actually sick to my stomach when I finished writing the end of issue 1. I grossed myself out. I knew that I’d need someone fearless to draw it. (There was no way I was going to.) I knew that Tyler was the perfect artist and co-creator for the story. And when Tyler and Hilary started sending his pages in, it was just as horrible as I’d imagined —in the very best way.”
“The best horror stories peel back and slowly reveal the horrors of everyday life,” mentioned Jenkins. “At its heart, HAIRBALL is a story about a family, one that treats each other horribly. Is there a reason for their terrible behavior? Could the cause of all their problems really be Bestie?”
In HAIRBALL, a younger lady named Anna begins to suspect that her black cat is behind all her troubles: her dad and mom’ combating and the unusual whispering in her ear at evening.. As she tries her greatest to rid herself of this creature, she finds that it’s not really easy to kill. But simply possibly, the cat is the one factor standing between her and a fair larger evil that threatens to destroy her life.
“HAIRBALL can be described as Junji Ito Meets Hayao Miyazaki meets Stephen King,” mentioned Dark Horse Publisher Mike Richardson. “The story is strange and supernatural, but the world is so familiar and the family’s trauma is so real that you will not forget Bestie and her family.”
HAIRBALL is the most recent launch from Flux House, a brand new boutique imprint that may function the writing (and typically) artwork of Matt Kindt, with crime, science fiction, and humor tales, all advised and introduced in startling and untraditional methods, following the discharge of MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG. Dark Horse will publish challenge 1 in April 2023 with a canopy by Kindt and a variant cowl by THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH’s Martin Simmonds.
