The folks at Titan Comics always seem to have something new cooking, and up next is a Gothic tale titled Alisik, which explores the afterlife. Read on for your early details and a look at the cover for Issue #1, heading our way early next year.
From the Press Release:
Titan Comics is excited to introduce the Gothic horror series Alisik – part of Titan’s Statix Press imprint, which showcases the best comics from Europe and around the globe – to a brand-new US audience!
Written by Hubertus Rufledt with haunting art by Helge Vogt, Alisik is a cross between Emily the Strange and Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book – a beautiful dark and Gothic tale of mortality and what happens after death.
“Alisik started as a short animation I did during my time at Disney – something different, a bit darker, but not horror. Hubertus liked it so much that we wanted to make a comic series out of it,” said Alisik co-creator and artist Helge Vogt. “Alisik became a part of my life. It’s the best I’ve done so far, and I’m thrilled that it’s coming out in English!
Featuring an all-new cover by superstar artist Junko Mizuno (Ravina the Witch?), Alisik #1 will hit stores and digital devices on February 28, 2018. It will be available to order from the upcoming December edition of Diamond Previews Catalogue.
Synopsis:
When Alisik wakes up alone in a cemetery, she thinks she’s in the middle of a nightmare. Terrified, she flees into the night but realizes she is invisible to everyone she meets. She really is dead, with no memory of how it happened… and only the ghostly residents of the graveyard can help her unravel the mystery of her afterlife.
