PORTLAND, OR – Oni Press–the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997-– is proud to present Mine Is A Long, Lonesome Grave #1, a new four-issue gut punch of Appalachian revenge-horror debuting in February 2025 from Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated writer Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, Dead Body Road) and #1 best-selling artist Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter).
Harley Creed is a bad man. He used to be worse. A violent ex-con with a string of brutal crimes in his past, he only wanted one thing when he finally walked free from prison: to leave Briar Falls, WV, behind and disappear forever. But Harley’s hometown has a strange way of swallowing people whole—call it a consequence of the low-level folk magic that has permeated its darker corners for generations. And now that Harley has returned, pent-up vengeance for his past crimes is about to come roaring back. Somebody has put a hex on him—and Harley has seven days before he dies in twisted, screaming agony.
To reverse it, Harley must find and kill his unseen enemy before their curse can reap its terrible end. But in Briar Falls, there’s no shortage of suspects—and Harley is coming for them all. If can’t have peace, at least he can have revenge.
“Crime? Revenge? Witchcraft and hexes? This is a book I was meant to draw,” says artist Chris Shehan.
“I don’t get an opportunity to do as much crime as I want…” says author Justin Jordan. “Wait, no, I mean I don’t get a chance to do as much crime FICTION as I would like, so getting to do a crime book that is also a horror book, my other favorite genre, has been awesome. And getting to set it in Appalachia, where I’m from, is just icing on the very brutal cake.”
Nothing can stop Mine Is A Long, Lonesome Grave #1 from getting even in February 2025 – featuring covers by Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter), Matthew Roberts (Battle Pope), Kelsey Ramsay (Moon Dogs), Jeffrey Alan Love (Absolute Batman), and Jason Shawn Alexander (Killadelphia).
Mine Is A Long, Lonesome Grave #1 is the next in a series of five all-new, genre-defying projects from acclaimed creators for Spring 2025 following Free For All #1 and Plague House #1.
