A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Beginning

In 1992, Innovation Comics launched this two-issue miniseries, written by Andy Mangels and illustrated by Dan and David Day, that expands the nightmare-inducing mythology of Freddy Krueger. Titled The Beginning, it digs into the slasher icon's origins before his reign of terror in Springwood, offering a grim prequel to the classic horror film series. A concise but potent entry for Freddy fans, it stands as the first comic to explore his backstory.
