DSTLRY originally teased SPECTREGRAPH as a “Psychedelic Haunted-House Descent into Hell,” and if you’ve been reading the first issues or if you take a look at our exclusive issue #3 preview below, you’ll know that not only was that description spot-on, but that James Tynion IV and Christian Ward have created something truly special with this horror comic book series. Along with the preview from the third issue, we have the first look at Tula Lotay’s variant cover art!
“SPECTREGRAPH revolves around an isolated mansion nestled into the coastline, a short drive north of Los Angeles. Rumors have haunted the place for years—its owner a titan of American industry, with a strange fascination in the occult and the paranormal. The richest men and women in the country have whispered to each other, trying to understand what he was building alone in that mansion for all those years. And now finally, with his death, and his estate open for sale… they can finally find out for themselves.
James Tynion IV, celebrated for his Eisner Award-winning work in The Nice House on the Lake, Something Is Killing the Children, and W0RLDTR33, collaborates with acclaimed artist Christian Ward, known for his medium-pushing work in Batman: City of Madness and Invisible Kingdom. Together, they weave a tale that delves deep into the heart of America’s gilded facade, revealing the spectral decay lurking beneath.”
“We’ve been cultivating these ideas for years, and we promise a descent into horror like you’ve never seen before—this is a visceral, confrontational take on the haunted house story” – writer & co-creator James Tynion IV
“SPECTREGRAPH is an acid-fueled psychedelic nightmare. I can’t wait for everyone to experience it and find themselves haunted by our ghosts, The likes of which have never seen before” – artist & co-creator Christian Ward

SPECTREGRAPH #3: “When the larger-than-life, brilliant, and enigmatic Abrose Everett Hall died, he cast a pall over all those he knew — and no one suffered more than his former assistant and lover, Felix. Now an old man, Felix has dedicated the rest of his days to solving the paranormal puzzle of the spectregraph — his paramour’s life’s work, interrupted. But what is Felix’s connection to the Thanatos Group, and how do Janie and Vesper factor into his plans? The gothic horror hit from DSTLRY continues!”
