“A partir de Blue Book, el corazón palpitante del programa de publicación de Tiny Onion con Dark Horse ha sido la exploración de lo que yo llamo historias ‘True Weird’: cómics basados en historias reales de encuentros con lo extraño e imposible”, dijo Tynion. “Let This One Be a Devil es el primero de una nueva serie de títulos en nuestra biblioteca True Weird en Dark Horse, en la que contaremos las historias inspiradas en los relatos que llevaron a figuras como el Diablo de Jersey, Bigfoot y el monstruo del Lago Ness a la conciencia pública. Esto es solo el comienzo".
“La leyenda del Diablo de Jersey se extiende a lo largo de siglos y une lo sobrenatural y lo criptozoológico de una manera única entre las figuras del folclore de monstruos estadounidense”, agregó Foxe. “Con Let This One Be a Devil, nos proponemos contar la historia definitiva del Diablo de Jersey, combinando una narrativa original con todos los muchos cuentos contradictorios de la criatura para revelar lo que realmente ha estado acechando a Pine Barrens durante todos estos años. Y como sucede con muchos críptidos, la historia detrás de la historia del Diablo de Jersey ha demostrado ser tan fascinante como su mito descomunal”.

JAMES TYNION IV’S ‘TRUE WEIRD’ LINE EXPANDS WITH NEW CRYPTID TALES, BEGINNING WITH “LET THIS ONE BE A DEVIL” | |

James Tynion IV, Steve Foxe, and Piotr Kowalski team up for a comic miniseries about the infamous Jersey Devil | |
MILWAUKIE, Ore., (October 15, 2024)—Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion present Let This One Be a Devil, the first story in a new set of True Weird tales from James Tynion IV and various other creators. Let This One Be a Devil is a four-issue miniseries that explores the legend of the Jersey Devil written by Tynion (Blue Book, Something is Killing the Children) and Steve Foxe (All Eight Eyes, Alien: Paradiso), illustrated by Piotr Kowalski (Where Monsters Lie, Satan’s Swarm), colored by Brad Simpson (Summer Shadows, The Butcher’s Boy), and lettered by Tom Napolitano (Blue Book, We Have Demons). The first issue will feature covers by Gavin Fullerton, Kowalski, and Max Fiumara and will also feature a True Weird short comic written by Rachel Deering, illustrated by Jesse Lonergan, and lettered by Aditya Bidikar.
“Starting with Blue Book, the beating heart of the Tiny Onion publishing program with Dark Horse has been the exploration of what I call ‘True Weird’ stories--comics based on the real stories of encounters with the strange and impossible,” said Tynion. “Let This One Be a Devil is the first in a whole new set of titles in our True Weird library at Dark Horse, in which we'll tell the stories inspired by the accounts that brought figures like the Jersey Devil, Bigfoot, and The Loch Ness Monster into the public consciousness. This is just the beginning."
“The legend of the Jersey Devil spans centuries and bridges the supernatural and the cryptozoological in a way unique among figures of American monster folklore,” added Foxe. “With Let This One Be a Devil, we’re setting out to tell the definitive Jersey Devil story, combining an original narrative with all the many contradictory tales of the creature to reveal what’s really been stalking the Pine Barrens all these years. And as with many cryptids, the story behind the Jersey Devil’s history has proven to be just as fascinating as its outsized myth.”
About Let This One Be a Devil: In the early 1900s, Henry Naughton returns home to the family farm in the swampy Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. One night, he encounters a strange predator stalking the woods. This sends the young scholar on a research project that uncovers the legend of Mother Leeds and the terrible birth of the Jersey Devil in 1735.
