William of Newbury wants the dead to rest in peace in a new series from Michael Avon Oeming

From the co-creator of the Eisner Award-winning Powers, comes a brand-new anthropomorphic supernatural series where supernatural evils must be fought at all costs! Dark Horse Comics and Michael Avon Oeming present William of Newbury, a four-issue series beginning in May 2024.

William of Newbury is a tale suitable for all ages, fit for lovers of history, the supernatural and, of course, anthropomorphic folklore. William is a neurotic raccoon monk, fearful of the earthly world, but confident and unwavering in the face of true evil. He fights the dead to restore the peace, but his brother is intent on stopping him, fearing for his very soul! With untold darkness threatening the quaint and cute, yet deadly, town of Newbury, William will have to negotiate with thieves, evade his brother and the church, and battle with the undead and evil spirits!

Loosely based on real events in 12th century England during what was known as “The Anarchy,” a time where the country was beset with plague, civil war and demons, William of Newbury #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops May 29, 2024. Pre-order at your local comic shop for $4.99.
