Après Rat God, l’artiste Richard Corben délaisse la couleur pendant un temps pour son nouveau récit d’épouvante intitulé Shadows on the Grave.
Notons que le héros du récit, Denaeus, renvoie à une ancienne création, le musculeux Den, avatar du héros John Carter de Mars, que l’artiste développa d’abord pour le film d’animation Neverwhere (1968) puis dans les pages du célèbre magazine Heavy Metal.
Le premier numéro de Shadows on the Grave sort chez Dark Horse le 14 décembre prochain.
Description: A treacherous nephew seeks to relieve his ancient hermit aunt of her fortune. A desolate swamp changes all who dare trespass. An accommodating spirit lingers in a cemetery guiding visitors to their graves. And a barbarian hero tries to save his kingdom from a monstrous Cyclops.
Description: A stormy night forces a traveler to take refuge at the house of a madwoman who warns him against staying. One woman has her vision restored only to learn that things are not as they appear. A magical quest for eternal youth puts an aunt and nephew at odds. And in the next installment of Denaeus, our hero makes a surprise appearance at a feast to celebrate the return of the prince who believes him dead.
Description: A hunter becomes the hunted when he ventures into restricted woods, but the nature of his adversary is truly terrifying. Recurring dreams haunt a man every year around his birthday. And Denaeus surprises his enemy, the king, when he reappears with an offer to help.
