A Haunting on Mars

A Haunting on Mars, launched by Scout Comics in 2023, is a horror-sci-fi series that transplants classic ghost story dread to a Martian colony. The debut issue, written and illustrated by Dan Schaffer, establishes a stark, claustrophobic atmosphere as colonists begin to experience unsettling phenomena. This series matters for its fresh, minimalist take on haunted house tropes, using the isolation of space to amplify psychological terror.
