Award-winning artist and writer Tyler Boss (What’s The Furthest Place From Here? ), rising star artist Adriano Turtulici, and lettering legend Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou are teaming up to deliver a grisly new horror miniseries that follows a once-famous true crime writer whose horrifying fictional stories are coming to life in a string of murders by a mysterious serial killer. Drenched in pulpy Giallo film-inspired neon gore, You’ll Do Bad Things takes a deep dive into the worlds of true crime and serial killers, and the fandoms surrounding both. With a touch of B-horror camp, fans of Dario Argento films, Stephen King’s Misery , and true crime will enjoy this gorgeously dark six-issue miniseries, launching this March.
In You’ll Do Bad Things , it’s been ten years since the release of He Came in with a Smile , the true crime smash hit that chronicled the brutal murders committed by the Nursery Rhyme Killer. But in the decade since its release, its author Seth Holms hasn’t produced another title. He wants to write a story with a happy ending, but every time his fingers clack across the keyboard it always ends in his character’s death. Worse yet? These tales of blood and barbarity that flow so freely from Seth’s mind are starting to happen in real life.
“I’d like the only way you would hear about this book is from a friend who tries to describe it to you as some half remembered dream,” said Boss. “They loan you the copy they got from the video comic book rental store that’s been living underneath their bed with the nicked up corner and a sticky cola stain on the front cover. You try to pick off a bit of the lint (at least I hope it’s lint) that is clinging to the stain, but you just end up tearing a bit of the cover off. Better not to mess with it anymore and just dive in. You turn the page and read as all that blood starts to pool around you.”
Continued Boss “Adriano and I are trying to make something that feels tactile and constant. It’s a love letter to the Italian slasher genre of Giallo, with all the blood and nudity you’d expect. It’s a critique of the True Crime genre, and our cultural fascination with serial killers. But mostly it’s a fun and nasty comic book, which are my favorite things in the world. I hope you’ll join us.”
Added Turtulici ‹ ‹ You’ll Do Bad Things is the best thing that has happened to me in comics so far. Tyler gave me trust and creative freedom, working with him has been a blast from day one. I hope you love it as much as I loved working on it. › ›
You’ll Do Bad Things #1 (of 6) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 26
Y a une touche classique à la Stan Drake, avec une belle épure, dans ce dessin. À la fois moderne et rétro.

Pas fan du tout de ce découpage qui ne fonctionne pas pour moi, il manque des cases pour donner de l’impact à l’ensemble, là c’est très très mou.
Sur le deuxième échantillon, il y en a peut-être trop, des cases. Ça aurait pu fonctionner en une planche, tout ça…
Le dessin est super. Les choix de narration, un peu moins.
