Locke & Key #4

In "Welcome to Lovecraft: Chapter Four," Sam journeys across the country, sharing his painful past with a truck driver—his father’s abuse, his mother’s indifference, and the cruelty of school bullies. As he reflects on his life, he recalls Duncan Locke’s quiet support and a chilling moment when Tyler, angry at his father, jokingly suggests Sam should kill his own if he ever does. Meanwhile, in Lovecraft, Tyler grapples with the weight of his grief beneath a facade of toughness for Bode. Written by Joe Hill and illustrated with haunting precision by Gabriel Rodriguez, this issue deepens the emotional core of the series, with cover art by Rodriguez capturing its raw, introspective tone.
