Famous Monsters of Filmland is the world's longest-running entertainment fan magazine and they have their own comic book publishing imprint called American Gothic Press. Together, they put out digital comics that fans can pick up on
comiXology such as the highly rated
Black Sunday.
With a story from Matthew Dreiling,
Black Sunday serves as the writer's debut book after shifting his focus from camera and lighting in Hollywood to writing for American Gothic Press. Meanwhile, artist Polychrome
(Nocturnals) lends their talent to the series as well.
The story itself holds a dark tone and follows farmers during what seems to be the onset of a plague as the world around them - even the animals - continues to fall apart with no hope in sight. Despite the numerous issues facing the family, oldest son Charlie only makes matters worse when he stumbles on to a terrible and terrifying secret.

It's a dark time for the American midwest. Massive dust storms stalk the land, turning crops and homes into empires of dirt. Farmers are going bankrupt, and it's all Clovis and his family can do to keep things afloat. They fear for their lives.
When oldest son Charlie goes to fetch water from a neighboring farm, he stumbles upon a sinister secret - and it seems to have taken hold of the crows, the hogs, and the earth itself. While his family struggles to survive, Charlie is plagued by nightmarish visions of violence. Reality seems to blend in with his dreams. Has he been hallucinating Amon’s voice in the well all this time?
Black Sunday #2 will be available in digital form tomorrow, January 29th, 2020 for a ticket price of 2.99!
