AWA and Vertigo Entertainment have announced the launch of Look Out, a new horror tale by Dan Baillie and Tim Bradstreet.
“LOOK OUT originated as a chilling Reddit thread penned by Scotland native Dan Baille that quickly amassed a cult following and caught the attention of Roy Lee and the team at Vertigo, who then brought it to me,” said Axel Alonso, AWA’s Chief Creative Officer in a press release. “At AWA, we love discovering new voices and we love the horror genre so it took one read to know this bone-chilling story needed to be brought to life as graphic fiction – in this case, as illustrated prose. And who better than legendary Hellblazer and Punisher artist Tim Bradstreet, whose striking full-color photo-realistic illustrations perfectly punctuate the story and bring to life its characters and unnerving environment? With Roy’s guidance, LOOK OUT and other one-shots in this scary collection are sure to get under the skin of the most seasoned horror fans.”
In LOOK OUT, Oscar, recuperating from a divorce, takes a job as a fire lookout in a secluded forest outpost, hoping for solitude and a fresh start. But his quiet retreat takes a sinister turn when he discovers a mangled sheet of paper scrawled with a strange set of rules that claim to ensure he’ll stay safe during his watch. At first, Oscar laughs it off as a prank, – a bit of harmless hazing from the other fire lookouts in the area – but as night descends, he comes to a horrifying realization that the rules are no joke, and the threat they protect against is all too real.
Look Out will arrive on May 7, 2025.
