YA Horror Comics for All Types of Thrills and ChillsĪlienated by Simon Spurrier and illustrated by Chris Wildgoose All that’s required for a title to be horror is that it brings about dis-ease, disgust, or fear for the reader. Some of these titles might veer more middle grade than YA, but I wanted to include them anyway.Īs always, a reminder horror is a mood, not a genre, so these comics are across a wide range of genres. This list is sticking to titles published 2016 and forward. I’d love any other recent-ish title recommendations you may have, from, say, the last five years or so. I did not include franchise titles (think Archie or Stranger Things) nor did I include adaptations of classics (like Frankenstein).Īll descriptions come from Goodreads, as I’m still working my way through these titles. A few of these began their lives as webcomics and have either companion or compilation volumes in print. Some are from well-known publishers, while others are from smaller presses. I’ve included manga, comics series, and stand alone titles here. We know spooky season is upon us, so for those who work in libraries or schools (or other places where you provide book recommendations), having these handy will be so helpful. As I made my way down the list of options at my local library, I realized rather than just put holds on everything, it’d be worth making a book list for others. I was quite bummed to read one I’d remembered liking in 2011 and discovering how fatphobic it was now, 10 years later, and it hit me how few YA horror comics I’d read. Part of it is my desire to read comics - I’m still having some trouble immersing myself in prose alone, postpartum - and part of it is my desire to seek out some potential contenders for future Summer Scares titles. I’ve been on the hunt for great YA horror comics lately.
