SDCC 2024: Journey into THE AUTUMN KINGDOM #1 – Cullen Bunn & Christopher Mitten Cast a Spell of Fatal Folk-Horror Fantasy in September!

Jul 24

PORTLAND, OR (July 24, 2024)– Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to reveal the first look inside THE AUTUMN KINGDOM #1 – the FIRST ISSUE of a spellbinding new horror-fantasy spectacle from master storyteller Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Harrow County) and visionary artist Christopher Mitten (Hellboy & the B.P.R.D.).

Bestselling author Andrew Kier found the perfect place to finish his latest dark-fantasy novel—an idyllic, remote cabin on the edge of a lush Scandinavian forest. His young daughters, Sommer and Winter, gleefully explore . . . until they happen upon a strange clearing of ancient statues: goblins, dwarves, elves, and a warrior queen mysteriously missing her swordhand and weapon. When something sinister follows the girls home and viciously snatches their parents in the night, the sisters’ only hope may be that ancient relic, lost in the forest underbrush, waiting for a new champion to take it up . . .

On September 4th, following one family’s labyrinthine descent through a perilous forest where the local folklore is anything but a myth in THE AUTUMN KINGDOM #1! Featuring covers from phantasmagoric artists Christopher Mitten (Wasteland, The Alternates), Alison Sampson (Hit-Girl), Malachi Ward (Black Hammer: The End), Daniel Vega (The Codex Noirmatic), and Vanesa R. Del Rey (Scarlet Witch, Redlands), THE AUTUMN KINGDOM #1 shatters the line between dream and reality, horror and fantasy in comic shops everywhere September 4th!
