Folktales of the Cryptids

Afterlight Comics' Folktales of the Cryptids (2018–present) is a three-issue series that reimagines classic cryptid lore through the lens of folklore and myth. The series explores the origins and cultural significance of creatures like Mothman and the Jersey Devil, blending horror with anthropological curiosity. While the creative team is not widely known outside indie circles, the series stands out for its thoughtful, story-driven approach to urban legends, treating cryptids as part of a living, global storytelling tradition rather than mere monsters.
