If you don’t *have* a local comic shop, print copies can be ordered through Things From Another World right here.Īnd, since I know I’m going to get this question: yes, there will be a collected trade paperback edition (in fact, you can already pre-order it on amazon here), but pretty please grab the single issues as they’re released! And while you’re there, please pre-order issues #2-4 or have them added to your “pull list” with the shop.

So, please, consider driving out to your local comic shop on Wednesday October 26th and picking up the print edition. Great, right? Single issue sales help comics a lot. If you’re a fan of my work in prose, especially the Clown in a Cornfield books, you will enjoy this comic!Īnd don’t take my word for it, you can read the first six pages of issue one over at Bloody Disgusting. To say any more would spoil the surprise of these 4 issues, but I’ll just say: I’m very very proud of what we’re making here, a book pitched as “ Chopping Mall meets The Ruins meets Nightbreed“.

The book has covers and interior art by David Stoll, letters by Justin Birch, and is being published by one of the best pubs out there: Dark Horse Comics.ĭead Mall is a 4 issue mini-series about a group of teens who become trapped in an abandoned mall… a mall that wants to eat them. So I won’t bore you with why, but please pre-order ( amazon, B&N, or through your local comic shop).Īlso, unrelated, but big news I’d forgotten to post until right now:īehold! That’s the first issue of Dead Mall, a cosmic horror monster comic that hits comic book shops October 26th. I’ve talked ad nauseam about how important pre-orders are for prose books, and the same goes (maybe even moreso) for comics. The team and I couldn’t be prouder of this book, I couldn’t be happier with the support we’ve received from Dark Horse (both on an editorial and a promotional level), and we’re so excited to bring you the whole bloody story collected as a graphic novel (which, don’t worry, the trade is going to include some special goodies for everyone who’s already read the miniseries as single issues). Your eyes are not deceiving you, that’s art by Siren Head creator Trevor Henderson! Recently revealed over at Dread Central, the trade paperback edition of Dead Mall (the comic written by me, with art by David Stoll and letters by Justin Birch) hits comic and bookstore shelves in June 2023, but is available for pre-order right now! If you want to hear David, Trevor, and I talk about the series (and “mall horror” as a subgenre) with DC editor Mary Beth McAndrews: please click over to Dread. While Dead Mall’s certainly not a “childrens” book, CBW is a great bookstore local to me who’ve been kind enough to ship out signed books for me. UPDATE: if you’re in the US you can pre-order signed, personalized copies of Dead Mall from Children’s Book World.
