The 10 Best Horror Comics You've NEVER Heard About
7. MonsterMen (And Other Scary Stories)
If you love your horror to strike that pitch perfect balance between creeping horror and fun, wacky creativity, then look no further than Dark Horse's The Monstermen.
Starting out in the back pages of Mike Mignola's Hellboy, Monstermen follows the monster hunting exploits of a man simply known as Benedict, a detective of the occult who wears a dapper tuxedo, topped off with a knight's helmet. Joined by a quirky filmmaker, an investigative reporter, and a mysterious engineer, Benedict investigates all manner of creepy and eerie mysteries around the world.
From the designs of the monsters themselves, to the character's unique designs and backstories, to the fact that Benedict lives and operates out of a THOROUGHLY beached cruise liner, Monstermen is packed to the brim with charm and creativity. But make no mistake, this is a horror comic at the end of the day, and it knows exactly how to get under your skin.
So if you've read all of Hellboy front to back, and you want something different, but just similar enough to scratch that itch, then Monstermen is exactly what you're looking for.
