Locke & Key: IDW Classic Collections - Welcome to Lovecraft and Head Games #[nn]

This IDW Classic Collections hardcover gathers the opening chapters of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's Locke & Key in one handsome volume. Rodriguez's cover art delivers an unforgettable phrenology-diagram image: a young red-haired figure rendered in profile, skull open to reveal a richly illustrated map of a child's inner world — compartments labeled with thoughts ranging from "Magic Keys" and "Giant Robots" to "Secrets" and "Bad Thoughts," all anchored by an ornate brass key protruding from the back of the neck. It's a visually witty and quietly unsettling image that perfectly captures the series' blend of wonder and dread, making this 2026 collection a compelling entry point into one of comics' most celebrated horror-fantasy sagas.
