About the series

Over five issues from Dark Horse, Joe Golem (2015–2016) plunges into a rain-slicked, alternate-history 1970s New York where occult detective Joe Golem—a hulking, stitched-together strongman—hunts monsters alongside his mentor, the aging magician Simon Church. Written by Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola, with atmospheric, shadow-drenched art by Patric Reynolds, the series expands the duo's pulp-noir mythology from their prose novels. It matters as a stylish, self-contained fusion of Lovecraftian horror and hardboiled detective work, anchored by Reynolds' evocative visuals and the creators' knack for eerie, character-driven supernatural adventure.
