Wait Till Helen Comes

In Wait Till Helen Comes, a graphic novel adaptation of Mary Downing Hahn's classic ghost story, a blended family moves into a remote, converted church, only for their new home to be haunted by a vengeful spirit named Helen. Published by Houghton Mifflin in 2022, this single-issue series brings the beloved, chilling tale to a new generation of readers through atmospheric art and faithful storytelling. The adaptation is most closely associated with artist Meredith Laxton, whose work captures the eerie tension of the original novel. It matters as a fresh entry point for young readers into Hahn's iconic supernatural fiction.
