LOS ANGELES, CA – The cozy horror hit of the year went back to the printer.
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees – the Eisner-nominated tale from Patrick Horvath and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou about an adorable anamorphic town that hides not one but two serial killers – took the comic book industry by storm. Praise and attention from fans, retailers, and press rose with every chapter in the six issue limited series, and then the collected edition was reported as the top-selling non-big two graphic novel when it debuted in September.
The acclaimed collection sold 20k copies, immediately generating a reprint to ensure there’s no gap in availability for readers. Horvath, the writer and artist behind the breakout comic, is humbled by the success of his story and truly appreciates the support.
“I’m blown away that this book hit the ground running and is already going out for a second printing. I can’t thank the people enough that have helped to support and spread the word about this book. Readers, retailers, critics, podcasters, enthusiasts, all of you: thank you so much for all of the love you’ve given our book,” remarked Horvath. “And again, a huge thank you to IDW for taking a chance on a creator with virtually no track record. I really feel like I’ve found a home in comics, and I’m extremely grateful.”
During New York Comic Con, it was revealed the upcoming horror imprint IDW Dark. In addition to new originals, a sequel to 30 Days of Night, and fan-favorite horror movie and TV properties, the upcoming imprint will feature the eagerly anticipated sequel Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring. More details about the sequel will be announced in the months to come.
