Julio Anta and Daniel Irizarri bring El Chupacabra to Life in Beast of Borikén
Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion present Beast of Borikén, a thrilling new tale in the True Weird series featuring el Chupacabra. Beast of Borikén is a five-issue miniseries written by Eisner Award-nominated author Julio Anta, illustrated by Daniel Irizarri, colored by Patricio Delpeche, and lettered by Lucas Gattoni. Beast of Borikén #1 is out in July 2026 and will feature cover art by Daniel Irizarri, Naomi Franq, and Max Fiumara.
In contemporary Puerto Rico, Loli Flores is a fierce activist fighting the overdevelopment of the island by outside investors. When a groundbreaking ceremony is violently interrupted by a supernatural force, Loli discovers that the stories of el Chupacabra are not just echoes from the past, but true tales of a brutal protector of generations extending back to the indigenous people of the island. As Loli uncovers the horrors firsthand, el Chupacabra follows a parallel path, leaving elemental destruction in his wake.
Beast of Borikén #1 (of 5) arrives in comic shops on July 1, 2026. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.
