SNEAK PEEK!
“The Pale Knight has a particular, terrible resonance, set as it is in a world suffering from an even deadlier plague that decimated populations in the 1340s,” said Peter Milligan. “This book blends my love for Bergman’s iconic The Seventh Seal with my fascination for the Black Death to craft a horror story that feels both timeless and disturbingly modern. Val Rodrigues’s stunning art brings this apocalyptic world to life in a way that perfectly captures the moral torment and supernatural horrors of this tale.”
For fans of the thought-provoking, surreal horror and the dark, atmospheric storytelling of Season of the Witch, The Pale Knight #1 is now available for pre-order on the official Mad Cave Studios website, and will be available at your favorite bookstore, local comic shop, and digital comic reader on May 28th, 2025!
