DSTLRY is a relative newcomer to the comic book publishing scene, but they've quickly made a name for themselves both through a novel publishing approach and by assembling some of the top creators in the industry. That latter strength is on full display in DSTLRY's latest new series, a psychedelic haunted house tale called Spectregraph.

Spectregraph is written by James Tynion IV (The Nice House on the Lake) and illustrated by Christian Ward (Black Bolt). Check out the slideshow gallery below to see covers and concept art for the new series, including three newly revealed covers from Alex Eckman-Lawn, Tradd Moore and Ward:

Here's DSTLRY's official summary for Spectregraph:

SPECTREGRAPH revolves around an isolated mansion nestled into the coastline, a short drive north of Los Angeles. Rumors have haunted the place for years—its owner a titan of American industry, with a strange fascination in the occult and the paranormal. The richest men and women in the country have whispered to each other, trying to understand what he was building alone in that mansion for all those years. And now finally, with his death, and his estate open for sale… they can finally find out for themselves.

"We’ve been cultivating these ideas for years, and we promise a descent into horror like you’ve never seen before—this is a visceral, confrontational take on the haunted house story,” Tynion said in a statement.

“Spectregraph is an acid-fueled psychedelic nightmare. I can’t wait for everyone to experience it and find themselves haunted by our ghosts, the likes of which have never seen before,” adds Ward.

Spectregraph #1 will be released on April 24, 2024.

In other comic book news, Ultimate Black Panther #1 revealed a major X-Men connection, and DC added a major new wrinkle to Joker's origin story.
