Dark Horse Comics is launching a new series created by Mike Richardson and written by Peter David this Autumn. In The Scream, “Danny Duncan’s life is a mess. His job is mind-numbingly boring, his elderly father is slipping into senility, and since Danny got out of the Belle Foux treatment facility, people have been saying he’s crazy. On top of all that, odd things have started to happen around Danny. People are behaving strangely around him, as if they’re reacting to his thoughts and daydreams. What is this strange phenomenon, and how is it tied to Danny’s recent stay at Belle Foux?”
“The Scream is a throwback to a time when superheroes were more fun and less grim. It owes more to the early Stan Lee and Steve Ditko Spider-Man than it does to the contemporary comics scene,” said Richardson.
In addition to David, the team behind The Scream includes Bart Sears (pencicller), Randy Elliott (inker), and Lucas Marangon (colorist).
The first 32-page issue is scheduled to appear 21 November, priced at $2.99. Dark Horse is taking pre-orders on this page.
