Sir Edward Grey, occult adviser to the queen, confronts flesh-eating corpses and discovers a temple beneath London. The mystery that compels him the most is what the sinister Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra wants with it—and from him.
This August, legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, iZombie co-creator Chris Roberson, original Witchfinder series artist Ben Stenbeck and colorist Michelle Madsen will unite for Witchfinder: City of the Dead. In this five part miniseries from Dark Horse Comics, Sir Edward Grey, occult adviser to the queen, must defeat scores of flesh-eating corpses on the loose in London and explore a temple beneath London full of ancient secrets. Artist Julián Totino Tedesco will provide covers for the series.
Mignola and Roberson are currently co-writing the acclaimed Hellboy & The BPRD adventures. Stenbeck returns to Witchfinder, the title he helped launched in 2009, before working on Baltimore and the acclaimed Frankenstein Underground.
Witchfinder: City of the Dead #1 (of 5) is in stores August 31, 2016.
