There Be Shadows

Ethereals new ongoing series from the artistic talents of Donny Hadiwidjaja and Dan Kemp finds us in early 19th century England during a funeral for a grandfather, the last living relative of the young Davey "Hook" Jones. Davey finds himself in route to an orphanage run by the church, and as somber as the situation is, he's eager to move past it. Davey finds solace in his new friendship with Johnathon Schmee, a rather shy boy about his own age. Just as Davey is settling in though he's asked a particularly odd question by a small boy, "Do you play tag?". Immediately Johnathon is quick to answer "No, he does not play tag and we will be in our beds asleep at 8:30 on the dot." Surprised by Schmee's vehement answer, Davey became curious as to why his new friend would respond that way. That is, until later that night when the light begun to fill the room. There Be Shadows is a tribute to all those fairy tales you heard as a child, the ones that made you wonder if they were being told correctly. The ones that seemed a bit more sinister than they let on. "I've always imagined the scariest things will be shrouded in beauty and not come with gnashing teeth or terrifying claws." -Dustin Brunell CEO Ethereal Publications
