GET READY FOR A BLOODY COMPETITION IN “THOSE NOT AFRAID” FROM KYLE STARKS AND PATRICK PIAZZALUNGA
Dark Horse Comics presents Those Not Afraid, a new series perfect for fans of true crime. This four-issue miniseries written by Eisner Award nominee Kyle Starks (Where Monsters Lie, From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly, Peacemaker Tries Hard), illustrated by Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters Are My Business), colored by Marco Brakko, and lettered by Jim Campbell arrives January 2025. Issue #1 will feature covers by Glenn Fabry (Preacher, Hellblazer) and Piazzalunga.
“The title for THOSE NOT AFRAID draws from a chilling quote from pure evil, serial killer Richard ‘The Night Stalker’ Ramirez: ‘We’ve all got the power in our hands to kill, but most people are afraid to use it. The ones who aren’t afraid control life itself,’” said Starks. “If you know me and my work know I love horror but I also love true crime stuff, especially when it’s serial killers. I wanted to dip my foot narratively into that world – to step away from humor at all, to lean hard into the terrifying depths of that world and the terrifying creatures who inhabit it. With THOSE NOT AFRAID I ask the question, ‘What if two serial killers enter into a terrible competition to break the record for murders?’ If you are a fan of – or know a fan of – true crime and serial killers THOSE NOT AFRAID is going to be the book for you.”
Piazzalunga added, “I’m excited about this comic book. I tried something new in my art—it will be much darker, with a lot of black! Like this fantastic thriller by Kyle! Kyle has done a great job and the story it will keep you in suspense.”
