Stuff of Nightmares #2

R.L. Stine brings his signature brand of dread to comics with this 2022 BOOM! Studios release, "The Monster Makers: Part 2," featuring a Francesco Francavilla cover that sets an immediately unsettling mood. A pale, crouching creature called Frankie hunches over something disturbing in murky, flooded terrain beneath a full moon, while a looming Victorian house floats ominously in the misty background. Jordan Cameron, Isaac Cameron, and Stella Gregory are spotlighted in portrait medallions along the left side, hinting at the human cast caught up in whatever terror that shambling figure represents.
