Harrow County #8

Tyler Crook's cover for this 2015 Dark Horse series places a determined young blonde woman at the center of a genuinely unsettling procession — a flaming skeleton blazes at her left while a hulking dark creature, a grotesque skinless figure, and an eerie rabbit press in around her, yet she strides forward with quiet resolve, satchel in hand. The rural-gothic atmosphere that earned Harrow County a quote from Kurt Busiek — "Charming, creepy, smart, and a visual treat" — is fully on display here, balancing folk-horror dread with a strangely intimate mood. With Cullen Bunn's writing and Crook handling every visual element, issue #8, "Mold," promises another atmospheric chapter in one of 2015's most distinctive horror comics.
