Severed

Set in the early 20th century, this seven-issue horror series from Image Comics follows a young boy on a cross-country journey, only to find himself stalked by a charming and predatory monster. Written by Scott Snyder and Scott Tuft, with haunting art by Attila Futaki and Fonografiks, the series is a masterclass in slow-burn dread and period atmosphere. It stands as a quietly influential work, proving that a tightly focused, standalone horror story could thrive in the modern comics landscape.
