Dark Horse Comics launching detective horror series ‘Fear Case’ in 2021

It is True Detective meets The Ring in Fear Case, as a no-nonsense Secret Service agent and his partner investigate a mysterious box known only as the ‘Fear Case.’

Press Release

Dark Horse Comics is launching a new horror detective series in February called Fear Case. From creators Matt Kindt, Tyler Jenkins, and Hilary Jenkins, the new series is the same team behind BOOM! Studios’ much-acclaimed series Grass Kings.

In a press release sent to AIPT, Kindt said, “I’ve never written a story in the horror genre before. Real life is already so full of it. This is the most grounded thing I’ve ever written. And as a result, it’s definitely the most horrific. I apologize in advance.” Jenkins followed up by saying, “Once again, working with Matt is exactly as it should be between collaborators. The projects we build are a pure joy to work on.”
