Enter the Crime Scene of the First Kill of the Horror Mini-Series 'You'll Do Bad Things'

Ahead of launching in March, get a sneak peep at early process artwork from Tyler Boss and Adriano Turtulici’s highly praised series

“A wholly original and surprising story that makes me FIEND for the next issue. Read it!"—Marcus Parks, co-host of The Last Podcast on the Left

"One of the best looking and best written slasher comics that has ever hit shelves.”—Gatecrashers

Cut the caution tape and step into the blood-soaked world of You’ll Do Bad Things with an early look at the process artwork behind the shocking first kill.

From the penciled panels to the pulpy colored pages, readers can now examine the bones of the first crime scene from this highly-anticipated, Giallo-infused series by award-winning creator Tyler Boss (What’s The Furthest Place From Here?) and rising star artist Adriano Turtulici, hitting shelves this March.

“I wanted our first scene of the book to be a kill,” said Boss. “Something that sets the stage in no uncertain terms that we're making a slasher comic. But part of the fun of that is playing with the audience's expectations.”

Continued Boss: "Trying to get a jumpscare in a comic is hard because most readers tend to scan an entire page briefly as they turn to it. That said, I think Adriano did an incredible job here of selling the terror in this first glimpse of the killer. The reader asks themselves 'where did that guy come from?' and as they turn to the next page, realizing he must have been in the car even when Ronny was in there. How long was he back there, waiting?"

Turtulici added in regards to the layout of page six, where the killer gets out of the car: "I chose this solution for a different perspective of the sequence to keep the tension high. We’ve just witnessed a murder, and I liked the idea of introducing our killer as if he's still hungry, still craving for more. I hope it creates an unsettling feeling. The story is just beginning and the danger is far from over. Also, this is one of the pages we did for the pitch—I felt it wasn’t the right moment to be too subtle or suggestive. I wanted each page to hit hard, to set the tone of the series.''

In You’ll Do Bad Things, it’s been ten years since the release of He Came in With a Smile, the true crime smash hit that chronicled the brutal murders committed by the Nursery Rhyme Killer. But in the decade since its release, its author Seth Holms hasn’t produced another title. He wants to write a story with a happy ending, but every time his fingers clack across the keyboard, it always ends in his character's death. Worse yet? These tales of blood and barbarity that flow so freely from Seth’s mind are starting to happen in real life. The original six-issue miniseries is both a metatextual examination of true crime and fandom, and a pulpy, bone-chilling horror show that will send you down dark alleys, craving answers to its riddles. And did we mention the leather-clad, knife-wielding lunatic on the loose?

Select early praise for You’ll Do Bad Things:

“You'll Do Bad Things has all the notes of your favorite Italian flicks with guts and gore galore but still provides a wholly original and surprising story that makes me FIEND for the next issue. Read it!"—Marcus Parks, co-host of The Last Podcast on the Left

“You’ll Do Bad Things is the DEFINITIVE modern-giallo! Adriano Turtulici’s art and colors perfectly brings to life Tyler Boss’s words. With a clear love of the genre but with a spark all their own, Boss and Turtulici have crafted a world that makes you afraid yet eager to turn each page.”—Jesse Gouldsbury, director of The VelociPastor 2

“This is a DANGEROUSLY scary comic. With delightfully-twisted dialogue from storyteller extraordinaire Tyler Boss and shocking visuals by newcomer Adriano Turtulici straight out of a 1970s slasher flick, You’ll Do Bad Things has all the makings of a true crime fan’s instant new favorite!”—Scott Snyder, creator of Absolute Batman, Wytches

“You’ll Do Bad Things is both frightening and oddly whimsical. It whispers in your ears, like some sort of shadow self, drawing you in and not letting you leave until the last page. I think this team is the next chapter in the book of ghastly and fantastic tales!”—Vita Ayala, creator of The Horizon Experiment: Finders//Keepers, Submerged, New Mutants

“You’ll Do Bad Things is a must-read comic for anyone who loves slashers, color, or has faced a blank Word document with a blinking cursor, as I have so many times before, including this review. The creative team of Tyler Boss, Adriano Turtulici, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou delivers one of the best looking and best written slasher comics that has ever hit shelves. The masterful craftmanship of each page turn brings you deeper and deeper into a neon pastel, horrific tale.”—Gatecrashers

“There’s plenty to thrill and terrify in this examination of how modern media transforms tragedy into spectacle. Turtulici and Boss’s grasp of comic storytelling blurs the line between easily understood genre elements and the creeping fears of reality, whether it’s simply writer’s block or being attacked when alone at night. Together they provide a distinct spin both on the true-crime critique and crime comics as a whole in an unforgettable debut. If You’ll Do Bad Things delivers upon the promise of the mystery presented in these early issues, it’s bound to be one of 2025’s best new comics.”—CBR

“This is a real showcase of a debut issue that is best experienced firsthand. Highly recommended!”—Comics Beat

"You'll Do Bad Things might be the most gorgeous horror comic you read this year.”—Boing Boing

“Fans of Giallo horror, this one’s for you.”—Fangoria

“You’ll Do Bad Things starts off with two killer issues that were clearly crafted by not just fans of the Giallo genre, but exciting talents who understand both the genre and the comic medium. The stylized and classic art design paired with the clever look of the killer and pacey story makes this a series that every Giallo or Slasher fan should be rushing to pick up!”—Macabre Daily
