The Milkman Murders

In this single-issue 2005 Dark Horse one-shot, writer Joe Casey and artist Steve Parkhouse craft a tense, character-driven horror story that subverts the suburban thriller. The Milkman Murders takes a familiar, mundane figure and reimagines him as the catalyst for a dark, psychological descent, using the limited format to deliver a compact, unsettling narrative. It stands as a sharp, self-contained example of how a creative team can distill genre tension into a single, memorable comic.
