"I Love H. P. Lovecraft, I Love Cop Shows, And Their Unholy Bastard Child Is Weird Detective" Dark Horses New Creator-Owned Comic

Published Tue, 15 Mar 2016 20:00:27 -0500

Dark Horse Comics is proud to announce a new creator-owned comic entitled Weird Detective. The comic reunites Harvey-nominated writer Fred Van Lente (Brain Boy, Conan the Avenger, Resurrectionists) and illustrator Guiu Vilanova (Conan the Avenger).

Here's what it's all about:

Cthulhu cops, the Innsmouth Mafia, telepathic cats, and other crimes against sanity stalk the streets of New York in this pulpy stew of crime, horror, and mystery from the writer of Marvel Zombies and X-Men Noir.

The city has been plagued by a pattern of crimes too weird and bizarre for the average detective. Lurking in the evidence are shadows of loathsome horrors from beyond space and time, seeking to usher in the unimaginable evil of the Old Ones. The only man capable of fighting against the unspeakable terrors isn't a man at all. Detective Sebastian Greene is one of them—it takes a monster to catch a monster.

The first issue of Weird Detective contains all twenty-four pages of its three-part debut in Dark Horse Presents, plus twenty-two brand-new pages—all for the regular cover price of $3.99. Weird Detective launches on June 15.
