All the Suspects are Unusual in PROMETHEUS GRAFT: THE SLAYINGS AT DEATH’S END #1

Amidst a Ghastly Gathering of Vampyrs, Witches and Werewolves, This December You’re Invited to a Comics Murder Mystery Party From Creators George Northy & Caitlin Yarksy and Oni Press!

ONCE MANKIND'S GREATEST MONSTER ... NOW THE WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE!

Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award–winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to present an extended look inside – a taut and twisting murder mystery teaming rising star (Yuletide, EC’s Shiver SuspenStories) and Eisner Award–nominated artist (Dead Teenagers, Black Hammer)! This December, you're invited to a remote Romanian castle for a first-of-its-kind comics whodunnit with infinite surprises and even more stitches, as the infamous, undead spawn of Dr. Frankenstein – now reborn as the world's most brilliant criminal investigator – is tasked with solving a monstrous murder that could lead to the end of humanity itself . . .

"When Caitlin Yarsky and I set out to create a supernatural whodunnit with a cast of mythical monsters as the suspects, I quickly landed on using , AKA , as the central detective," said writer George Northy. "Instead of modifying any part of , we decided to operate as if the events of the original novel are all canon to our version. We’re simply following the further adventures of ‘The Monster’ who long ago remade himself as an unconventional sleuth."

Decades after his creation, the creature once known as Frankenstein’s Monster has reinvented himself as Europe’s most formidable mind. After years underground, his scars have faded and his genius-level intellect has tamed his hulking nature . . . revealing an extraordinary talent for solving the world’s most inexplicable mysteries. Today, he is Prometheus Graft: gentleman detective, expert investigator . . . and something still not quite entirely human.

Now, on the cusp of a new century set to be ruled by science over superstition, Graft believes he his finally conquered his monstrous past . . . until he is summoned to the remote Romanian castle of Death’s End, where an immortal lord has assembled Europe’s most feared supernatural beings to broker a long-lasting peace. But their fragile treaty will soon be shattered when the corpse of one of the prominent guests is found murdered in the castle’s hedge maze . . . turning witch against werewolf and vampire against ghoul as suspicion and bloodshed spiral.

With only his instincts and a bloodstained trail of clues to guide him, can Prometheus Graft solve the slayings at Death’s End before a new day breaks . . . and all hell follows with it?

"As someone who loves drawing fantasy and horror, the world of PROMETHEUS GRAFT is a creative playground,” said artist Caitlin Yarsky.” Within this classic whodunnit storytelling structure, George has written rich, complex characters that feel uniquely his. Prometheus Graft is a more human, relatable take on Frankenstein's creature, and I think readers will be excited to follow him as he learns more about his own nature and uncovers mysteries all over the world (and beyond)."

"There's a whole history of other mysteries Graft has solved over the years," added Northy. "In Issue 1, we even reference ‘that strange business with ’ which we could revisit in future installments. I also wanted to use the established canon of as a shorthand to lay out the ground rules for what a murder mystery looks like in this world. Their strengths and weaknesses are so well-known that in our story, the murder weapons can’t be revolvers or lead pipes…they’re silver daggers, fire, wooden stakes and sunlight."

A new kind of detective is on the case when PROMETHEUS GRAFT: THE SLAYINGS AT DEATH’S END #1 comes alive this December – featuring hair-raising covers by series co-creator Caitlin Yarsky (Dead Teenagers, Black Hammer) alongside Eisner Award winner (The Goon), Eisner Award winner (Locke & Key), and Patricia Martín (EC’s Blood Type)!
