The Lake Erie Monster

A six-issue miniseries from Shiner Comics, The Lake Erie Monster (2012–2014) spins a modern folkloric tale around the legendary creature of Ohio’s north coast. Rooted in regional mystery, the series blends small-town atmosphere with the kind of cryptid speculation that makes lake monsters enduring pop-culture icons. It’s a concise, self-contained entry in the indie comics landscape of the early 2010s, offering a fresh take on a classic American monster story.
