Just dropped: The latest trailer for HOUND, the forthcoming horror graphic novel from Mad Cave Studios
JAN. 17, 2023, (PITTSBURGH, PA) — Get an exciting first-look at the Mad Cave Studios historical OGN, HOUND, co-written by Sam Romesburg (Children of the Grave, Rock & Roll Hell) and Sam Freeman (Basic Instinct), with art by Rodrigo Vázquez (Swip Tip Kapiti Kaluse).
During World War I, a young soldier is assigned to one of the most deadly areas along the western front. However, he finds the greatest threat to his life lies not with the enemy, but with a cult formed by his own men.
Found nestled and protected within a den of wolves, the journal of Private Barrow, a fresh young soldier drafted into Britain’s royal army during the height of World War I, meticulously and explicitly recounts the events that lead to his death. However, where most men are sent to the trenches, Barrow was sent to a place known only to him as the “gas quarter” — a patch along the western front known for incessant mustard gas attacks. Our story and the journal both begin with Barrow’s introduction to the unit occupying the quarter — a group referred to by the top brass as “The Hounds,” a nickname earned by the appearance of their long-snouted gas masks. Immediately, Barrow is shaken by the sight of them and is soon pulled into a hell that can only come from the savage horror of war.
Praise for HOUND
“A visceral and neatly executed graphic parable of war’s dehumanizing power.” —Kirkus Reviews
“HOUND is a five-star graphic novel. It is visual poetry, both beautiful and disturbing, and owes as much to Wilfred Owen as it does great European cartoonists such as Herge and Tignous. It is a violent and upsetting story of self discovery. A must read.”
—Monkeys Fighting Robots
Howl at the moon because in the purview of war, there is no line between man and beast…
Hound drops Feb. 20, 2024 and is now available for preorder on the Mad Cave Studios website, and your LCS!
