Daphne Byrne #1 $3.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Laura Marks (A) Kelley Jones (CA) Gerald Jablonski In the gaslit splendor of late 19th-century New York, rage builds inside 14-year-old Daphne. The sudden death of her father has left her alone with her irresponsible, grief-stricken mother-who becomes easy prey for a group of occultists promising to contact her dead husband. While fighting to disentangle her mother from these charlatans, Daphne begins to sense a strange, insidious presence in her own body...an entity with unspeakable appetites. What does 'Brother' want? And could she even stop him if she tried? Writer Laura Marks (TV's Ray Donovan, The Expanse, and The Good Fight) and horror-art legend Kelley Jones (The Sandman, Batman: Red Rain) join forces to unleash spirits from beyond into the Hill House Comics line!

BONUS REVIEW by Rick Berg
Creeaaakkkkk!!!!! Hill House Comics opens the next sinister door to another terrific horror filled title, starring the eponymous Daphne. Fan-favorite (at least one of mine) Kelley Jones brings the swirling twisting darkness covered in a thousand rib-cages once again. So pretty to look at mostly. His penchant for goofy faces continues but everything else looks crazy good as young Daphne is pulled into the all consuming shadows. 1st time comic book writer (I think) TV veteran Laura Marks does a fine job keeping the terror building as we slowly uncover the sad lifestory behind the Byrne family. A very solid and intriguing first issue for fans of the classic gothic Hammer horror films. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
