Anthony Cleveland and Alex Cormack Bring Historical Horror in a Chilling New Series
Mad Cave is pleased to announce the first issue of BURIED LONG, LONG AGO, a new five-issue miniseries by acclaimed writer Anthony Cleveland (Show’s End, Stargazer) and Bram Stoker Award-nominated artist Alex Cormack (Road of Bones, Sea of Sorrows, The Devil That Wears My Face), is now available at your favorite local comic shop!
Featuring a beautiful variant cover by Eisner Award-winning Colleen Doran (Amazing Fantastic Incredible) with letters by Ringo Award-nominated Justin Birch, this chilling historical horror/dark fantasy series blends the atmospheric dread of Pan’s Labyrinth with the historical grit of From Hell, delving into themes of survival, corruption of innocence, and the inescapable weight of secrets.
BURIED LONG, LONG AGO
Writer: Anthony Cleveland Artist: Alex Cormack
Letterer: Justin Birch
Release Date: April 16th, 2025
Synopsis: Based on true events, from 1901-1908 Belle Gunness lured dozens of lonely men to her Indiana farm and savagely murdered them for their money. Because Belle managed to avoid capture and face trial, much of this story remains untold. Until now. This is a fairy-tale retelling of her brutal crimes from the perspective of her three young children…who soon discover there is something far worse, and far more evil, than their mother on the farm. Something Buried Long, Long Ago.
