Preview of Eliot Rahal and Felipe Cunha's Cult Classic Return to Whisper #1 for Vault Comics

Published Fri, 05 Jan 2018 11:00:47 -0600

Vault Comics is creating a new shared comic book universe where superheroes need not apply. Vault Editor-in-Chief Adrian Wassel tells us:

"Featuring shorts, miniseries, on-goings, you-name-it, Cult Classic is a shared, creator-owned universe without a single superhero. It's like Goosebumps in comics but bigger. It's nostalgic. It's spooky. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking. It's a place for creators and fans to hang out and enjoy supernatural horrors, midnight mysteries and sci-fi thrillers, all linked together by the town of Whisper — the most haunted hamlet in the U.S. Really, Whisper is just being born, and already the talent crafting the creepy corners of this place is unreal. Cult Classic could not be entering the world at a better time."

Eliot Rahal is best known as the comic book writer who used to write with Donny Cates before Cates got famous and was snapped up by Marvel. And he is writing one of the titles with Flash Gordon's Felipe Cunha.

Return to Whisper is the flagship title of the new, non-superhero shared universe that Vault describe as "a bit like Goosebumps meets The Goonies, by way of Riverdale, with a healthy dose of Welcome to Night Vale."

And here's your first look at it. Eight preview pages and two covers by Irene Koh, and Felipe Cunha. Oh, and the comic? $1.99. So there.

RETURN TO WHISPER #1

(W) Eliot Rahal (A/CA) Felipe Cunha

In 1997, a group of teenagers discover a treasure of immeasurable wealth. Fearing that their newfound fortune will be stolen from them, they make a pact: One day they'll all come back as adults, divide their riches, and live happily ever after. Now…fifteen years later, they have returned. Not to uncover a fortune, but to bury a friend. From Eliot Rahal (Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe, The Paybacks) & Felipe Cunha (Flash Gordon, Turok) comes the first full-length series in the much-anticipated Cult Classic Universe!
