Scout Comics announces a new horror anthology series, Pulp Bytes, featuring twisted tales of terror and technology. The series comes from writer/artist Pat Higgins, and the first issue will include two stories centered around the horrors that technology can bring.
In the press release, Higgins provided some information about his influences for the series.
“I love horror anthologies. Whether it’s E.C. horror comics, The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, or countless others, they always suck me in. The short stories coupled with the variety of characters and situations are a perfect fit for my short attention span. Pulp Bytes is my own take on the sub-genre…” said Higgins, “It’s what happens when you take all of my influences, fears, and what-ifs, shake them up in my head, and spit them onto paper. I’ve been wanting to do this project for a long time, and I’ve found the perfect home for it at Scout Comics.”
Scout provided a synopsis of the two stories in the press release:
Issue one includes two twisted tales of technological terror! The first, “Junebug Bites Back,” is the story of an overbearing pageant mom who gets her just desserts after purchasing supplements from the dark web. In “Terms and Conditions,” Jack and Lacey’s day of distraction turns to a nightmare when they ignore the fine print.
Along with the description and announcement of the series, Scout has also provided a first look at the issue’s covers and some of the interior work of both stories, which can be seen below.
