Dark Horse Comics proudly presents this complete collection of the entire comics run of the essential horror series Harrow County in a single, affordable trade paperback with a brand-new painted cover.
Emmy always knew that the woods surrounding her home crawled with ghosts and monsters. But on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, she learns that she is connected to these creatures—and to the land itself—in a way she never imagined. Could Emmy be the reincarnation of an infamous witch? As supernatural forces that baffle the imagination align against her, Emmy must decide whether she will embrace or deny her destiny...with the fate of every soul—living or otherwise—hanging in the balance!
This volume collects the entirety of HARROW COUNTY, the dark southern gothic fairy tale by Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook, along with all extras from every library edition!
Cullen grew up in rural North Carolina, but now lives in the St. Louis area with his wife Cindy and his son Jackson. His noir/horror comic (and first collaboration with Brian Hurtt), The Damned, was published in 2007 by Oni Press. The follow-up, The Damned: Prodigal Sons, was released in 2008. In addition to The Sixth Gun, his current projects include Crooked Hills, a middle reader horror prose series from Evileye Books; The Tooth, an original graphic novel from Oni Press; and various work for Marvel and DC. Somewhere along the way, Cullen founded Undaunted Press and edited the critically acclaimed small press horror magazine, Whispers from the Shattered Forum.
All writers must pay their dues, and Cullen has worked various odd jobs, including Alien Autopsy Specialist, Rodeo Clown, Professional Wrestler Manager, and Sasquatch Wrangler.
And, yes, he has fought for his life against mountain lions and he did perform on stage as the World's Youngest Hypnotist. Buy him a drink sometime, and he'll tell you all about it.
It should get more than two stars. This is why I don’t read comics. They just don’t do it for me. The stories are so short and fast. You start to get into it and it just ends so abruptly. This was the whole series and I still didn’t feel like I got substance to the read. I also didn’t like the artwork. They did Bernice dirty. The concept was cool, but this could’ve been a book and I might’ve liked it better. Okay read.
Pretty consistent through the entire 32-issue run. Tyler Crook's art sets just the right tone for this sort of horror, backwoods, coming-of-age tale. It never quite elevates itself to earn a spot on the best comics ever list, but it's a damn good read beginning to end.
For process nerds like me, there are some quality special features in the back, too.
