Independent Horror Comics are Gaining Popularity
Indie horror comics, such as Image’s W0rldTr33 and BOOM! Studios’ Something is Killing the Children, are doing very well in the direct market.
Duggan is famous for writing comics such as Marvel’s X-Men, Invincible Iron Man, Dead Eyes, and Falling in Love on the Path to Hell, but he is also an avid photographer. Duggan expressed his excitement about the upcoming soft-cover edition of the photo collection and the Image Comics partnership. “Timing/Luck is a visual autobiography of my time in Los Angeles as the worlds of comics and Hollywood began to overlap,’ he said. “It’s been my privilege to work with so many talented artists and travel the world in support of the work. After the successful crowdfunding effort on the limited edition, I’m proud to publish the softcover at Image Comics, my longtime home for creator-owned collaborations.”
Image Comics will publish an all-new crime caper graphic novel called Royals in early 2025. Created by Eisner Award-winning writer Derek Kirk Kim and rising star artist Jacob Perez, Royals takes place in the ‘shadowy back alleys’ of Seoul, South Korea, as twin brothers Paul and Castor use their uncanny telepathic connection for profit in the perfect poker hustle. They are eventually caught red-handed by one of Seoul’s most ruthless crime syndicates — and now the brothers must launch a daring heist using their telepathic powers to save their lives.
