On July 11, 2012, Dark Horse Comics will be releasing Freaks of the Heartland in a deluxe hardcover edition, and we’ve got the first look at the cover artwork by Greg Ruth.
In Freaks of the Heartland (winner of a Spectrum Gold Award), writer Steve Niles teams with artist Greg Ruth for a bizarre tale of horror unlike anything you’ve seen before. This collection contains Freaks of the Heartland Issues #1-#6 and is sized at a generous 9” x 12”, handsomely redesigned to perfectly display Ruth’s stunning artwork.
Synopsis:
Trevor’s monstrous little brother lives in the barn behind the house. The boy’s only six years old, but he towers over his older brother and possesses incredible strength. For years Trevor has looked after his baby brother, keeping him from the light, but now that’s all about to change. His family’s secret is about to be revealed, uncovering the horrible truth of the small Midwestern town the boys have grown up in.
