Greetings again boils and ghouls! Looking for something new to read digitally? I've scrounged the shadowy depths of the horror section of Hoopla to dredge up 13 of my favorite lesser known adult horror comics that we don't have available in our physical collection for your reading pleasure. So, settle in if you dare and take a look at some hair-raising Hoopla horror!
Spooky Season 2022 is upon us. The days grow short, the shadows grow long and the leaves fall off the trees. It always seems damp, but the air is crisp and clean in a way like no other season of the year. There’s no better time than the month of October to power watch as many spooky flicks as your eyeballs can handle.
As summer rolls around once more it's time again to look at that Oscars of comics, the Will Eisner Awards which are presented each year at San Diego Comic Con. You can view a full listing of past winners available for borrowing on our graphic novel libguide. Take a look at the nominees and winners available in our collection and online through Hoopla:

Creator Spotlight: Mike Mignola
Mike Mignola is an American artist and writer most famously known for his work at Dark Horse Publishing where we created the character Hellboy and it's various spin-offs and sister series. Before that he worked for both Marvel and DC as both a penciler and inker on a number of series as well as a cover artist for several Batman issues. Famed comic book creator Alan Moore has described Mignola's style as that of "German expressionism meets Jack Kirby." Below are some of the comics and novels featuring his work both in our catalog and on Hoopla.

Finally, October! Rocktober! Shocktober! Time for my first list of horror titles for the season.
