Here’s our pick for the 10 best horror comics and graphic novels to give you goosebumps for this spooky time of year! This list isn’t in order, but it does offer a comprehensive variety in the types of scary stories being told. It continues in Exile.Whether it’s the effectiveness of a chilling page turn or an intense drawing, comics offer a variety and effectiveness in horror storytelling that other mediums can’t replicate. Hell, the most sinister member of the cast even resembles the elderly James Stewart, as wholesome and comforting a figure as ever seen on TV screens.Ĭlean Room is twisted visceral horror of both the human and the demonic kind, and it’s compulsive, flowing reading. What’s surprising is that Simone manages so much with suggesting so little, and with Davis-Hunt drawing everything in an attractive clear line style providing a welcome with the kettle boiling rather than a punch to the gut. Narratively, it’s a means of confronting fear, of which there’s plenty. It’s there, it’s seen, it’s menacing and unpleasant, but the whys and wherefores of it remain untold, in Immaculate Conception at least.
It’s the equivalent of those big balloon things in The Prisoner. So, what’s a clean room got to do with anything? Glad you asked. Her survival prompted her to investigate Mueller, as she believes the Honest World Foundation and its methods changed her boyfriend. Journalist Chloe Pierce’s life fell apart when her boyfriend killed himself, a path she was also taking until rescued. She’s grown up to become the best-selling author of personal betterment books and to run what from the outside seems a very sinister organisation. Astrid Mueller was the victim of an insane driver during her German childhood. Snippets are dangled in front of the audience, very nicely drawn by Davis-Hunt, but they don’t coalesce for a complete picture.Īt it’s heart Clean Room is the story of two women whose lives have been blighted by tragedies decades apart. It’s absent here as Gail Simone and Jon Davis-Hunt conjure up the unease, intimidation and frustration so successfully exploited by The Prisoner in the 1960s. Clean Room teases and terrifies because we’re so used to graphic novels where the astute reader can join the dots to produce a complete picture.
