Before NYCC 2013, we shared a preview of a book that was making its US debut, “And Then Emily Was Gone” #1 by John Lees, Iain Laurie and Colin Bell. A dark and twisted horror/mystery book that was part Twin Peaks and “Hellblazer” with a more disturbed lead, “And Then Emily Was Gone” is a sharp new creator-owned series that you should be following.
And now the second issue is set to debut at next weekend’s Thought Bubble. Located at Table 69 alongside previously spotlighted new releases “Dungeon Fun” and “Exit Generation” (all three titles of which feature Scotland’s own Colin Bell, by the way), this is your first opportunity to pick up the new issue and brag about how cool you are for having it before everyone else realizes what a hidden gem this series is. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Take a look at a four-page preview right here:
And here’s the official synopsis from series writer John Lees
And Then Emily Was Gone is a dark horror-mystery that tells the story of Greg Hellinger, a man who sees monsters. A former detective driven to the brink of madness by terrifying apparitions, he is tasked with finding a missing girl called Emily. Hellinger’s search takes him to a remote community in the Orkney Islands, where strange and terrible things are happening…
In this second chapter, Hellinger and Fiona begin to investigate Emily’s disappearance on the island of Merksay, with its highly eccentric locals and terrifying hidden places. Plus, we find out what’s in the box!
