Diana Sousa Wants Everyone to Read More Comics A Chain Letter Guest Post

Everyone should read more comics! So here are some of my favourite horror comics, in a guest post I wrote for Chain Letter.

Terminal Punks TPB. Four main characters are split on a four person grid, have their faces covered in pink paint almost skin to ski masks

I don't know what I thought Terminal Punks was going to be about but @matthewerman.bsky.social wrote a wonderfully unhinged story about the power of friendship. There's a lot to enjoy with @shelbycriswell.bsky.social art, dynamic motion, brutal action and just a ton of style to make it all meld.

QRT with your pink art

In library finds, just read Loving, Ohio which goes hard. Good small town culty horror. The use of color is incredible and kept blowing my mind. Written by @matthewerman.bsky.social and art by @sambeckdraws.bsky.social

Thank you all for the beautiful pics and the support. Gotta make a trip to visit!

We got a Second Printing. Thanks for the continued support y'all.

I don't talk about this book enough. But #LovingOhio is a beautiful MASTERPIECE of teen angst, those drifting emotions, and the cults children are FORCED into. Rereading at work. @matthewerman.bsky.social @sambeckdraws.bsky.social @darkhorse.com

im currently working with one of my favorite artists, ive been a HUGE fan for sixteen years and the idea of creating with him is truly inspiring.

can't wait to see where this goes.

not daunting at all

the exorcist by william peter beatty; loving, ohio by matthew erman and sam beck; unmask alice by rick emerson

the 3 books

A copy of the book "Loving, Ohio" by Matthew Erman and Sam Beck. The cover is a beautiful and spooky image of two people, one tangible and the other smoke like and surreal.

The book "The Verse" by Sam Beck. The cover features two magical, fantasy characters.

A beautiful print by Sam Beck featuring moth people gazing into a lantern.

A print by Sam Beck featuring a sword welding character from the book "The Verse".

Was suuuuper excited for @sambeckdraws.bsky.social . I knew I'd need a copy of the third book of "The Verse" (and signed book plates for volume 1 and 2!), and there was no way I could resist "Loving, Ohio". (Look at that cover!)

I wasn't, however, expecting to fall in love with these prints! 😍

If you're dropping by your LCS today to pick up new books, ask them to pre-order a copy of THE GODDAMN TRAGEDY for ya. It's a thrilling new one-shot story with a whole slew of fantastic variant covers by Jenna Cha, Tula Lotay, Jacob Phillips, and Oliver Dominguez!
