The Silver Coin, Vol. 1

by Chip Zdarsky, Jeff Lemire, Kelly Thompson, Ed Brisson, Michael Walsh (Artist)

Overview

The story starts with a failing rock band whose fortune changes overnight when they find the mysterious silver coin. Next, it helps handle some mean girls at sleep-away camp. Follow the curious token as it changes hands over centuries—from Puritan New England to the scavenged junklands of 2467—and discover how much pain a cursed coin can purchase.

Eisner-winning artist MICHAEL WALSH (Star Wars, Black Hammer/Justice League) teams with all-star collaborators—CHIP ZDARSKY (STILLWATER), KELLY THOMPSON (Sabrina the Teenage Witch), ED BRISSON (Old Man Logan), and JEFF LEMIRE (GIDEON FALLS)—on this new ongoing horror anthology series for mature readers.

Editorial Reviews

Top notch, delivering solid character work, incredible artwork, and an intriguing story.”-Horror DNA

“A fantastic modern horror anthology. This first installment is sort of an updated version of Hans Christian Andersen's The Red Shoes, by way of Tenacious D's The Pick of Destiny, but way better than that sounds.”-Comicon

“An engrossing tale.”-ComicBook.com

“Dark and twisted and hits on all the right tones.”-Monkeys Fighting Robots

“Takes classic tropes and injects them with a punk rock energy.”-AIPT
