Skybound?and Image Comics announced the new limited series, Corpse Knight by acclaimed writer/co-
“Corpse Knight was born out of my love of dark fantasy, but it quickly became something more. It’s a story of parenthood and mortality, told through heroes, monsters, and all the shades in between,” said Michael Chaves. “I’ve been a fan of Matthew Roberts since Manifest Destiny, and I truly believe this is some of his finest work. His art is beautiful, tactile, and, when it needs to be, amazingly gruesome. Alongside Rico Renzi’s awesome color work, it’s everything you want from this kind of book.”
“I was certain my next project would be anything but horror, but I’m having the best time drawing Corpse Knight, despite myself,” added Matthew
“I love Micheal’s story and Matthew’s art has struck the perfect balance between beautiful and disgusting,” said Rico Renzi. “Coloring this book is a delight!”
War ravages France, but a young girl named Foy lives in relative peace with her father… until tragedy strikes. As Foy struggles to fend for herself, she’s granted a miracle—her father returns from the dead to protect her.
Now, they embark on a sacred quest, confronting murderers, wild animals, wandering armies, and black magic plaguing the countryside. As Foy comes face to face with the dark side of miracles and the secrets of the Corpse Knight, she must question if the man by her side has always been a monster…
“Horror masters Michael Chaves and Matthew Roberts have delivered a beautifully tragic story about the lengths a parent will go to protect their child,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “Absolutely nothing will stop the Corpse Knight…even death itself! Fans of King Spawn and The Darkness will eat this right up.”
