Re-presenting all of Ashley Wood and T.P. Louise’s Les Mort 13 tales in this specially priced, over-stuffed one-shot issue, printed on gritty newsprint!
Fan-favorite comic book creators Ashley Wood and T.P. Louise are re-presenting their seaside scary stories in the Les Mort 13 Giant Syze Special, hitting shelves this November as part of Syzygy Publishing’s lineup of titles at Image Comics. This extra-length edition, printed on gritty newsprint, packs a punch with a collection of eerie tales. Stories compiled from the whispered accounts of the fictional Southport island locals, where travelers have gone mysteriously missing and there’s a rumor that a long-departed Goddess still holds power. Fans of The Lighthouse, Midnight Mass, and the Lore podcast will enjoy this comic book full of feverish island terror.
The events of the Les Mort 13 Giant Syze Special take place between the coasts of somewhere and nowhere, on an island where the visitors are many but the inhabitants are few. Return tickets are issued but the return journeys are rarely ever taken. Some suspect that this hunk of rock sits upon the giant skull of a forgotten God, once lost to the dark waters that encircle the island. To reside in this place is to be engaged in a silent game of chess with something that you’re not even sure is there. Strangely, people still covet passage to this windy little isle, known for its ancient ruins. They belong to an unnamed Goddess and the long-forgotten cult that once worshipped her there. Local legend says that, even though she is long departed, the influence of the Goddess still remains, even if only in the shadows. Welcome to Southport.
Les Mort 13 Giant Syze Special #1 (one-shot) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 6:

The split-book revival is under way at Syzygy! Beginning in June, Tales Of Syzpense will present two titanic, 12-page tales of shock and awe, plus additional bonus material, published by Image Comics.
Up first—courtesy of Lore co-creators T.P. Louise and Ashley Wood—the lead-off mystery of “Les Mort 13” plays out on the surreal and mysterious island of Southport after a run-in with Eris, the goddess of strife…
Next, Chris Ryall and Nelson Daniel will present readers with the story “Dreamweaver,” about an aging adventurer with a mystical secret who looks to pass on his abilities to the next generation of hero… until they have much greater success than he did, and he decides he wants those abilities back at any cost.
Each issue will also feature two “Les Mort 13” covers by Wood, a “Dreamweaver” cover by Daniel, and a Syzpenseful tribute cover to famous split books of the past.
