Locke & Key is a dark fantasy, adventure comic written by Joe Hill, illustrated by Gabriel Rodríguez, and colored by Jay Fotos. It tells the story of Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode Locke—three kids who move to the Keyhouse with their mother after their father is murdered. Though it was promised to protect them, the manor itself holds a dangerous secret.
We currently have Volumes 1-6 of this comic (6 total). The publisher has given this comic a Mature Rating.
Locke & Key's drama unfolds within the walls of the Keyhouse, a manor with deep ties to the supernatural. In this book, Shirley Jackson tells a haunted house story of her own, helping to codify many of the traditions of the genre. If you're feeling the Halloween spirit, we have another edition with a minimalist, orange and black cover here.
