This time of year, there is no such thing as too many spooky characters or horror tinged books. And while that is true for all of us, that is doubly true for kids. And so, “Scare City” is perfectly timed for release Halloween week. The new graphic novel from Humanoids’ BiG imprint sees writer Paul Jenkins (“Aliens,” “Judge Dredd: Toxic”) and artist Frédéric Pham Chuong (“Intertwined”) tell an all-ages story set in ‘Monster Metropolis.’ We are thrilled to share an exclusive preview of the book, due out next week.

Illustrated by Frédéric Pham ChuongTensions rise in a Monster Metropolis when spooky things start to happen to its citizens! Will they solve the mystery before ancient rifts tear the community apart?
Deep beneath the human world lies Scare City, the hub where all the ghouls, ghosts and goblins dwell in perfect harmony. It took the monsters centuries to overcome their differences and live together in peace.
Tensions rise between clans when a mysterious light begins to steal people in the night causing Scare City to fall back into the hands of angry, pitchfork-wielding mobs! Its fate rests, unexpectedly, in the hands of a compassionate Zombie-Witch baker, Gina, who doesn’t want to see her home torn apart. Gina and her crew of spooky friends will do whatever it takes to solve the mystery and bring everyone together once again.
Thanks to Humanoids for the preview, and make sure to pick up “Scare City” at your finer local comic shops!
