The Ballad of Gordon Barleycorn

Gordon Barleycorn, a man haunted by a past he can't escape, finds himself drawn into a small town's dark secrets in this atmospheric debut from Scout Comics. Launched in 2022, this ongoing series blends crime noir with supernatural undertones, written and illustrated by a single creator whose moody, detailed art sets the tone. With only one issue so far, it's a promising, slow-burn mystery that leans on character and place over action.
