Your First Look at HELLO DARKNESS #9

Cover your mirrors and TV screens—there’s a new Hello Darkness issue trying to get in.

BOOM! Studios just lifted the veil on HELLO DARKNESS #9. It’s the spine-chilling continuation of their anthology series. Known for the crème de la crème in horror, fantasy, and mystery, this issue pulls from a roster of world-class creators. Names like R.L. Stine, Francesco Francavilla, and Garth Ennis promise to deliver heart-pounding stories.

Prepare yourself for "Teacher’s Pet" by Cullen Bunn and Daniel Bayliss. A monstrous new method disciplines misbehaving students, and it’s an absolute must-read.

Stories That Leave a Mark

Meanwhile, don’t touch that dial during "Cemetery Cove" by Sina Grace. A superfan lands on his favorite cult TV show. But he’s in for a shock when the dangers become all too real. For a unique homage, "A Time for Reflection" by Joanne Starer and Khary Randolph invites readers to respect the dead at a special shiva.

Expect laughs with Robert Hack’s "I Can’t Take You Anywhere." It’s a madcap adventure you won’t soon forget. This ninth issue of Hello Darkness showcases genre-defining horror at its finest.

Miguel Mercado takes the helm for the main cover, tantalizing collectors with a stunning visual. Jenny Frison and Michael Del Mundo add flair with their variant covers. A BOOM! Studios 20th Anniversary variant by Goñi Montes celebrates the milestone. Plus, there’s a Jenny Frison exclusive variant for the BOOM! Studios Direct Reserve.
