Image and Ghost Machine’s It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour sells out and gets a new printing

Posted on October 30, 2024 by Graphic Policy Team

The sinister one-shot tale on shelves just in time for Halloween—It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour Maytal Zchut’s scary-good debut writing effort for Ghost Machine, illustrated by French artist Leila Leiz with colors by Alex Sinclair, and lettered by Rob Leigh—has sold out completely at the distributor level, day-of-release. In order to keep up with escalating reorder activity for the Ghost Machine title, Image has fast-tracked the issue for reprint and urges fans to head to their local comic shop today to grab a copy before they’re gone from shelves.

It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour is perfect for fans of the recent horror movie The Substance and readers already familiar with the eerie residents of Hyde Street by Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, Brad Anderson, and Leigh, which debuted earlier this month.

In Devour, readers meet Lily who needs to lose weight to fit into her wedding dress but struggles to shed some pounds. And what’s worse, her super-thin grandmother relentlessly disparages Lily’s approach, instead lavishing praise upon a quick-fix miracle supplement called Devour, as hawked by the mysterious health guru, Miss Goodbody. But is taking it worth the cost? In this extra-length one-shot nightmare, when it comes to Devour…all you need is one.

It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour, second printing (Lunar Code 1024IM874) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 27. Hyde Street #1, second printing (Lunar Code 0924IM849) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 6.

Ghost Machine has revealed a first look of the covers for its highly anticipated horror universe Hyde Street at its panel during FanExpo Denver over the weekend. The ongoing, monthly Hyde Street series begins with issue #1 on October 2 and the one-shot It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour which will hit shelves just in time for Halloween.

A new epic era in character-centered horror begins as Ghost Machine launches Hyde Street, its newest ongoing series from creators Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis, whose long-running collaboration prior to Ghost Machine produced iconic titles Blackest Night: Green Lantern, and Aquaman. The series will also be colored by Brad Anderson, inked by Danny Miki, and lettered by Rob Leigh.

In every city and town, off every country road and metropolis avenue, if you make a wrong turn in your soul… you might find yourself on Hyde Street. But be careful who you talk to and what you do because the consequences make death itself seem like the easy way out. Introducing Mr. X-Ray, Pranky the World’s Most Dangerous Scout, Miss Goodbody, and many more… Out to delight, fright and say good night. What is their secret and that of Hyde Street? Only they know. For now.

Cover A from Reis showcases the mysterious Mr. X-Ray, with fellow Ghost Machine creator Gary Frank showing off Mr. X-Ray’s wilder side with Cover B. Cover D features Mike Deodato Jr.’s first variant art for Ghost Machine of a terrifyingly mischievous Pranky. Deodato Jr. is best known for his distinct art on DC and Marvel titles alike, including Wonder Woman, Dark Avengers, Infinity Wars, The Incredible Hulk, and The Amazing Spider-Man. Two additional variant covers will be available, from Inkpot Award-winning Batman artist Kelley Jones, and Reis, respectively.

While the monthly series centers on the threats walking Hyde Street, It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour provides a taste of what happens to its casualties. With an impending wedding, Lily needs to lose weight in order to fit into her wedding dress, and struggles to shed some pounds. And what’s worse, her super-thin grandmother relentlessly disparages Lily’s approach, instead lavishing praise upon a quick-fix miracle supplement called Devour, as hawked by the mysterious health guru Miss Goodbody. Her motto? Get thin… or die trying! In this weight-loss nightmare, when it comes to Devour…all you need is one. It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour marks Maytal Zchut’s gripping comic book writing debut, illustrated by French-born artist Leila Leiz, colored by Alex Sinclair, and lettered by Rob Leigh. Reis displays Miss Goodbody’s scary-good sales skills with Cover A, with Leiz presenting what it means quite literally to devour with Cover B, and Frank showing what frights lurk in the shadows on the scale with Cover C.
