A Town Called Terror is a new horror comic brought to you by Image Comics. Written by Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and Szymon Kudrański (Spawn, The Punisher), A Town Called Terror combines the paranormal tones of Midnight Mass with the criminal machinations of Ozark.

Henry West is brutally kidnapped in the middle of the night while his wife Julie watches, terrified. Henry awakens to the reality of his whereabouts, but Julie, with no evidence of the phantom crime, is unable to get help to search for him.

It sounds really good. As far as what monsters you can expect, Kudrański says, “In terms of style, we decide to stick close to the classic monsters of the '40s-'80s era.” Niles and Kudrański are very excited about this project and at the opportunity to work together. Niles says,

I’ve always wanted to create a 'world of horror'—meaning there would be very little of the real world, or humans, in the story—and I’ve had that chance with Szymon. During the pandemic he and I have been creating a new world of horror and A Town Called Terror is the first installment. I’m thrilled with what we came up with and thrilled to be working with Image… …I worked with Szymon when he was just starting out and I’ve been wanting to work with him again ever since. He’s an amazing talent and an incredible storyteller. It has been an absolute blast creating A Town Called Terror with him.

It’s always exciting to see two creators so excited about a project and this one sounds like it’ll be a great addition to any horror fan’s library. A Town Called Terror #1 will be released April 13 in comic shops as well as digitally through many platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
