Dark Horse Comics announced the team of Christofer Emgard and Tomas Aira have teamed for Beyond the Pale, a story of Eldritch horror set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War.
“The senseless insanity of the Vietnam War lends itself especially well to tales of inexplicable horror,” said Emgård in a press release from Dark Horse Comics. “Beyond the Pale is my humble attempt to capture some of that madness onto the page, and Tomás has outdone himself in depicting the moist, suffocating jungle and the young, forsaken soldiers lost in its dark embrace.”
War correspondent Hetta Sawyer is looking into the disproportionate loss of Black soldiers in the Vietnam War. Leads say losses are especially high at Firebase Tartarus, with most of them have simply gone missing, their fate unknown. Something sinister is happening at Tartarus, and Hetta intends to uncover the truth.
Beyond the Pale #1 (of 4) is scheduled to arrive on June 5, 2024 and will have a cover price of $3.99.
