DSTLRY announced two new comic projects with talents Scott Snyder, Jock, and Becky Cloonan.
Scott Snyder and Jock team up for You Won’t Feel a Thing, a new “brutal noir” comic series launching November 2024 from DSTLRY. The two creators previously worked together on Wytches at Image Comics, a project that has been optioned for an animated series.
You Won’t Feel a Thing is the story of a former detective living in a retirement home with a brain tumor that’s taking his memories. A serial killer case from his past has returned, but he’s the only one who believes that.
The murder mystery will be told in a three-issue series, with the first issue due in November. Each issue is 48 pages and perfect-bound with wraparound covers with spot gloss. The company promises multiple covers, limited variants, and incentives.
Snyder says, “You Won’t Feel a Thing is by far the most haunting and atmospheric project I’ve ever worked on… with a healthy sheen of psychological (and very literal) horror.”
Becky Cloonan is also working on a horror comic for DSTLRY. Come Find Me: An Autumnal Offering is an anthology of folk horror short stories. The one-shot will publish in late October in the same format described above, 48 pages perfect-bound with wraparound covers with spot gloss. Contributors include E.M. Carroll, HamletMachine, Vanesa R. Del Rey, Celine Loup, Molly Mendoza, and Cloonan.
Said Cloonan, “From a place of selfishness, these are my favorite voices in horror comics, and uniting them has been a nightmare come true. Much like my first contribution in DSTLRY’s one-shot The Devil’s Cut, you may just see some of these stories set the stage for larger projects.”
Cloonan previously co-created Somna for DSTLRY with Tula Lotay, which won an Eisner this year for Best New Series (see “Eisner Awards 2024“).
