In addition to sharing their love of horror on Daily Dead, our team of writers stay busy pursuing other passion projects on the creative front, and Sam Hart is certainly no exception. Readers of his Graphic Nature column know that Hart has a deep interest and understanding of macabre music and terrifying tunes, and he's teamed up with artist Trevor "Morbid" Markwart to channel that passion into an EC Comics-style exploration of black metal in a new graphic novel called Tales From the Black Circle.

Set to kick off an Indiegogo campaign shortly, Tales From the Black Circle captures the spirit of EC Comics with eye-popping artwork and eerie dialogue dripping with equal parts horror and humor. As the black metal scene in the late ’80s and early ’90s proved, sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, and Tales From the Black Circle dives into shocking true stories of a time of turmoil, experimentation, and creepy creativity in the black metal music scene. Keep an eye on Tales From the Black Circle's official Facebook page for the latest news on the graphic novel and its Indiegogo campaign, and check out more details, a teaser video, and preview pages below:
