an issue of Freaks of the Heartland by Dark Horse
Issue description
Young Trevor Owen and his “freak” brother Will are almost at the end of their road—
they’ve fled the family farm where Will spent his entire life hidden from the world,
chained up in the barn. Their parents are dead. And now they’re on the run from the law
while Gristlewood Valley burns with the flames they started. But all the terror and
heartbreak will be worth it if they can make it out of the Valley alive—and take the other
three living “freak” children the town has hidden with them. But are four six-year-old
freaks of nature and two of their “normal” older siblings any match for a well-armed
sheriff and his posse? Don’t miss the stunning and heartbreaking conclusion to this year’s
most resonant and unpredictable horror series.
• Comics Buyer’s Guide says “Greg Ruth’s darkly sketchy, moodily creepy art evokes the great Gene Colan and fits the disturbing story extremely well.”
