Comic book creators Ashley Wood and T.P. Louise bring local seaside horror to readers this November 6, 2024 as part of the Syzygy Publishing lineup with Image Comics. This issue is an extra-length one shot printed on newsprint, with a collection of eerie takes presented like local whispers from the fictional Southport island locals. The issue is being advertised as a recommendation for folks who love the movie The Lighthouse and the television show Midnight Mass.
Here’s the synopsis:
The events of the Les Mort 13 Giant Syze Special take place between the coasts of somewhere and nowhere, on an island where the visitors are many but the inhabitants are few. Return tickets are issued but the return journeys are rarely ever taken. Some suspect that this hunk of rock sits upon the giant skull of a forgotten God, once lost to the dark waters that encircle the island. To reside in this place is to be engaged in a silent game of chess with something that you’re not even sure is there. Strangely, people still covet passage to this windy little isle, known for its ancient ruins. They belong to an unnamed Goddess and the long-forgotten cult that once worshipped her there. Local legend says that, even though she is long departed, the influence of the Goddess still remains, even if only in the shadows. Welcome to Southport.
