Joe Hill's revitalization of Tales from the Darkside will now only be seen in print, accompanied by the brilliant artwork of Hill's Locke & Key co-conspirator, Gabriel Rodriguez! A special two-part tale begins here, as the terrifying "Black Box" is opened...
Bullet points:
" The creators of Locke & Key, back together again!
" An all-new imagining of a classic horror show!
" Variant covers by Hill's Wraith artist Charles Paul Wilson III!
Sometimes it looks like Hill and Rodriguez are like Niles and Templesmith, a storytelling team that has a unique style together. Read Full Review
