DSTLRY reveals new covers for James Tynion IV and Christain Ward’s Spectregraph #1

DSTLRY has revealed three chilling new incentive covers for Spectregraph #1, the debut issue of James Tynion IV and Christian Ward’s creator-owned horror series launching in comic book shops and online at dstlry.co this April.

A cerebral ghost story centered on American opulence and the haunted estate left behind by a reclusive titan of industry upon his death, Spectregraph #1 arrives on April 24 in DSTLRY’s signature 48-page, prestige format issues, the perfect oversized canvas on which to unleash the combined powers of two of comic’s most distinctive storytellers.

For years, the mansion has sat strangely, nestled into the coastline just a short drive north of Los Angeles. Rumors have haunted the place for years, its owner a titan of American industry with a strange fascination in the occult and the paranormal. For decades, the richest men and women in the country have whispered to each other, trying to understand what he was building alone in that mansion for all those years. And now finally, with his death, and his estate open for sale…they are eager to find out for themselves.

These new incentive covers from Alex Eckman-LawnTradd Moore, and Ward join open order covers by Ward and Martin Simmonds, all of which will also be available as variants for the digital release on dstlry.co:

  • Cover A – Christian Ward – Open Order

DSTLRY announces Spectregraph from James Tynion IV and Christian Ward, with covers from Ward and Martin Simmonds

DSTLRY has announced Spectregraph, a cerebral horror masterpiece crafted by multiple Eisner-award-winners
James Tynion IV and Christian Ward, with stunning cover art from Ward and Martin Simmonds. The first issue will launch in comic books stores in April 2024.

Spectregraph revolves around an isolated mansion nestled into the coastline, a short drive north of Los Angeles. Rumors have haunted the place for years—its owner a titan of American industry, with a strange fascination in the occult and the paranormal. The richest men and women in the country have whispered to each other, trying to understand what he was building alone in that mansion for all those years. And now finally, with his death, and his estate open for sale… they can finally find out for themselves.

Teased in the short story of the same name from DSTLRY’s debut anthology, The Devil’s Cut,
Spectregraph is a must-read for fans of cinematic, atmospheric tales such as The Haunting of Hill House and The Conjuring. This series promises to haunt readers with visceral art tethered to a chilling exploration of opulence, power, and corruption.

The series will be available for pre-order and will debut in comic shops and digitally via http://www.dstlry.co in April 2024. Exclusive incentive variant covers and special editions, including the works of Christian Ward and Martin Simmonds, will be announced shortly.
