ENTER THE MORALLY GREY WORLD OF STEEPLE THIS SEPTEMBER
While it doesn't really fit in with all the spooky books here at Horror DNA, Giant Days from creator John Allison is one of my all time favorite comics. As a result, I will pick up anything he touches and that includes the upcoming Steeple from Dark Horse Comics. Allison will write and illustrate the book, with colors by Sarah Stern and letters by Jim Campbell. It will take us to a place where things aren't as black and white as they appear.
Tredregyn Parish – in a sleepy Cornish coastal town fabled for its cursed origins, a newly arrived vicar quickly befriends another local priest, before realizing that they serve very different masters. Beset on all sides by witchcraft, the Church of Satan, battling Reverends, officious housekeepers and the ever-present sons of the sea, Billie Baker and Maggie Warren must balance the war between good and evil with the needs of their parishioners. After all, this town has supernatural problems that a nice cup of tea won’t fix.
“At a time where we align ourselves along ever more partisan lines and refuse to believe that the other side might have anything useful to say, Steeple is my attempt to show just how wide and deep the grey area actually is. I’m uniquely placed to tell this story, as personally, my carefully-held beliefs fold like a card table in the face of anyone who sounds like they know what they’re talking about."—John Allison
Steeple #1 (of 5) is set for release on September 18th, 2019.
