WELCOME TO HILL HOUSE COMICS!
Joe Hill, the horror mastermind behind
NOS4A2
and
Locke & Key
has arrived at DC to curate his
own pop-up line of cutting-edge horror comics!
Starting in October, Hill House Comics will terrify
readers with a smart, subversive and scary lineup
of five original series that continue DC’s history of
horror from HOUSE OF SECRETS to THE SANDMAN
and beyond!
“At Hill House Comics we aim to shock the senses
and soak the page in red, with new, hooky hor-
ror from seasoned old hands and young masters
of the field, all set free to share their most dis-
turbing nightmares…for your pleasure! The books
are backed by DC’s second-to-none comic book
craftsmanship, and we’re working with the very
best editors on parole from Arkham Asylum to
craft unputdownable tales of menace and mad-
ness,” Hill said. “I can’t wait to share some fresh
scares with comic book readers everywhere. It’s
going to be fun.”
Hill House Comics debuts on October 30 with
BASKETFUL OF HEADS #1,
written by Hill and
illustrated by Leomacs. The chills continue in the
following months with THE LOW, LOW WOODS, THE
DOLLHOUSE FAMILY, DAPHNE BYRNE and PLUNGE,
spotlighting the work of some of the biggest
names in horror storytelling.
Plus, every issue of each Hill House Comics
series will include the serialized backup story
“Sea Dogs,” written by Hill and chronicling three
werewolves terrorizing a crew of sailors at sea.
“We’re so happy to welcome Joe Hill to DC, and
to partner with him on this new specialty line of
creator-owned horror books,” DC publisher Dan
DiDio said. “Horror has been such an integral part
of DC’s history and it’s a tradition we want to see
revitalized. As a lifetime fan of horror, I know fans
are going to be so excited when these books hit
shelves. I can’t wait.”

single swipe—and leave the severed head still conscious and capable of
supernatural speech.
Each disembodied head has a malevolent story of its own to tell, and
it isn’t long before June finds herself in a desperate struggle to hack
through their lies and manipulations...racing to save the man she loves
before time runs out.

The rain lashes the grassy dunes of Brody Island, and seagulls scream
above the bay. A slender figure in a raincoat carries a large wicker bas-
ket, which looks like it might be full of melons…covered by a bloodstained
scrap of the American flag.
This is the story of June Branch, a young woman trapped with four
cunning criminals who have snatched her boyfriend for deranged rea-
sons of their own. Now she must fight for her life with the help of an im-

JOE HILL TALKS
HILL HOUSE COMICS
AND
BASKETFUL OF HEADS
Joe, what makes BASKETFUL OF HEADS the right series to
kick off Hill House Comics and set the tone for the line?
I’ve had the idea for BASKETFUL OF HEADS kicking
around in the back of my mind for almost a decade. I even
took a pass at the first script in 2011 or thereabouts, but
it needed more time to brew. My subconscious stayed
busy with it, apparently—the first four issues practically
wrote themselves.
I wanted our first title to be insane,
WTF, relentless reading: to script
something that would blast along like
an 18-wheeler going downhill with no
brakes. These days, there’s so much en-
tertainment out there, there’s so much
distraction—if you want to cut through
the noise, you’ve got to come out with
guns blazing. You have to do your best
to deliver something that’ll keep the
reader flying through the pages.
Leomacs may not be familiar to a lot of DC fans—what’s it
like working with him bringing this story to life?
I’m so lucky to be working with this guy. Leomacs
gets that even though this is a dark, suspense-
ful story, we’re also setting out to have some good,
gory, stomach-turning fun. He brings an anarchic,
subversive energy to every panel. It’s everything I
was hoping for, and then some. I really wanted to
tell a tale that was tense, funny, and unrepentantly
grotesque—think of films like
Re-Animator
and
Evil Dead
2.
Tense, funny and unrepentantly grotesque is Leomacs’
sweet spot.
Let’s talk “Sea Dogs”: the phrase “pa-
triotic werewolves” is certainly intrigu-
ing. What makes the Revolutionary War
and lycanthropy a good match?
Well of course there’s one big con-
nection between “Sea Dogs” and BAS-
KETFUL OF HEA—oops, forgot I wasn’t
going to talk about that stuff.
I read a lot of historical fiction and
have had an urge to dip my toe into the
genre for a long time. I also have sort

The other thing about “Sea Dogs” is
I so like spending time with June. She’s
that I’ve always sort of had a yen to write the story of

off-screen. The most thrilling part of the whole novel is

understanding of human nature. I won’t say which I think
to explore a similar sort of narrative, but on a big canvas,
is the more valuable asset.

Darkness falls across the DC Universe! October
brings “Doom Rising,” the next chapter of DC’s
Year of the Villain event. As the super-villain
onslaught rages, day will turn to night, and—in the
boiling black clouds overhead—cosmic judgment
will be passed! A shared-universe incident heralds
the twilight of the heroic age and will literally
brand the skies with doom!

Insidious secrets teased in July’s “The Offer”
were revealed as August’s “Dark Gifts.” Those
“gifts” were put to use in September’s “Evil
Unleashed.” Orchestrated by Lex Luthor, the Year
of the Villain reaches a tipping point with Octo-
ber’s “Doom Rising”: the scales of justice have
been corrupted, doom is winning, the end is nigh!
“Doom Rising” plays out through
October with “Fallen Icon” covers across a
variety of titles, showing DC’s superheroes at their
lowest points. Additionally, new one-shots spot-
light some of DC’s premier antagonists and their
Year of the Villain exploits: BLACK ADAM: YEAR OF
THE VILLAIN #1 and THE JOKER: YEAR OF THE
VILLAIN #1—which is co-written by film
legend John Carpenter and Anthony Burch,
showing just how bad The Joker can get when the
whole world has been overtaken by villainy!
