by James Tynion IV, Steve Foxe, Piotr Kowalski (illustrator)

From the New York Times bestseller and multi-Eisner award-winner James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the Lake, The Department of Truth) and Eisner award-nominated Steve Foxe (Razorblades, All Eight Eyes) comes this ambitious comic book experience depicting bizarre stories of Cryptid encounters.

In the early 1900s, Henry Naughton returns home to the family farm in the swampy Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. One night, he encounters a strange predator stalking the woods. This sends the young scholar on a research project that uncovers the legend of Mother Leeds and the terrible birth of the JERSEY DEVIL in 1735.

JAMES TYNION IV (Blue Book, Something is Killing the Children) and STEVE FOXE (Dark X-Men, All Eight Eyes along with PIOTR KOWALSKI (Bloodborne, Where Monsters Lie) bring the Jersey Devil to life in a supernatural tale of horror that peels back unknown layers of history and reveals local monsters and universal terrors.

About the author

Prior to his first professional work, Tynion was a student of Scott Snyder's at Sarah Lawrence College. A few years later, he worked as for Vertigo as Fables editor Shelly Bond's intern. In late 2011, with DC deciding to give Batman (written by Snyder) a back up feature, Tynion was brought in by request of Snyder to script the back ups he had plotted. Tynion would later do the same with the Batman Annual #1, which was also co-plotted by Snyder. Beginning in September 2012, with DC's 0 issue month for the New 52, Tynion will be writing Talon, with art by Guillem March. In early 2013 it was announced that he'd take over writing duties for Red Hood and the Outlaws in April.

Tynion is also currently one of the writers in a rotating team in the weekly Batman Eternal series.

Oddly framed, but moving for a spooky tale.

Una buena historia contada aprovechando el medio del cómic. De inicio a fin es interesante, pero el final tiene ese toque interesante y cautivador

Muy recomendada
