From the moment she started drawing Black Hammer, I knew Caitlin Yarsky was a special artist and talent. And with her solo debut, Living Hell she fully arrives as a force to be reckoned with in comics! –Jeff Lemire (Black Hammer, Sweet Tooth)

Dark Horse Comics is pleased to announce LIVING HELLa new modern fantasy creator-owned series written and drawn by Caitlin Yarsky (Black Hammer RebornWonder WomanCatwoman). 

The plot revolves around Jerome Jameel—a loving father and husband who also happens to be a demon. He’s fled his former prison of Hell to live incognito on earth as a bartender, hiding in plain sight. Jerome is determined to stay out of trouble, but when he kills one of Hell’s most vicious bounty hunters in self defense, he inherits the job of infernal bailiff, hunting down his own kind. Jerome soon faces a range of ancient deities and monsters, from the human-eating ghosts known as Jikininki to psychopomps like Baron Samedi. But with every act of betrayal, Jerome loses a little more of his hard-earned humanity.

“Almost every mythology around the world has its own version of an underworld—a land of the dead, the embodiment of despair,” writer/artist Caitlin Yarsky explains. LIVING HELL explores the lengths we’ll go to transcend generational trauma and the prisons of our past. It’s a story about family, the fantasy of a clean slate, and of course, cool monsters.”

“Throughout her relatively brief career, Caitlin has continued to define herself as a premiere, emotional storyteller. No matter how surreal or epic the scene, the character always comes first in her work,” said series editor Megan Walker. “We’re delighted to host her first full series as a writer and artist, and we have no doubt it’s going to enchant and exhilarate readers.”

Living Hell will debut later this year on November 6, for $4.99. Preorder now by visiting your local comic shop, or PRH Comics.
