Bode Locke

Bode Locke is the youngest child of the Locke family, who relocate to the ancestral Keyhouse mansion in Lovecraft, Massachusetts following a family tragedy. There, the curious and imaginative boy discovers magical keys hidden throughout the house that unlock extraordinary, sometimes dangerous abilities.

The youngest member of the Locke family, Bode made his debut in the landmark first issue of IDW's Locke & Key in 2008 — a Modern Age gem crafted by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez that immediately announced itself as something special. Sharing those haunting pages with Tyler, Kinsey, and Nina Locke as well as the menacing Sam Lesser, Bode is woven into one of IDW's most celebrated horror-fantasy series, a title that has sustained a remarkable publishing presence stretching nearly two decades. His appearances span the core series and beyond, including the Comics Giveaway Day Edition — a sign of just how central Locke & Key has become to the modern comics landscape. If you're discovering this world for the first time, issue #1 is exactly the place to start.
