Four misfit teenagers will come together to stop the monsters that terrorize the most haunted road in America in Proctor Valley Road, a new horror series by Grant Morrison (Klaus), Alex Child (BBC's Holby City), Naomi Franquiz (Tales from Harrow County) and Tamra Bonvillain (Once & Future).
CBR has an exclusive preview of BOOM! Studios' Proctor Valley Road #1, set to debut March 3. The mature series features August, Rylee, Cora and Jennie, who organize a ghost tour on this infamous stretch of demon-infested road, all to fund attending their dream concert. However, when their fellow students go missing and things turn deadly, they are forced to slay Proctor Valley Road's monsters, while also tackling the evil lurking in 1970s America.
A preview of Proctor Valley Road #1 can be found below, along with a main cover by Naomi Franquiz and variant covers by Chris Wildgoose (Alienated), Christian Ward (Invisible Kingdom) and Peach Momoko (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
Proctor Valley Road is developed in partnership with NBCUniversal's UCP Graphic, a division of Universal Studio Group, which will also adapt the series for television and will shop the adaptation to various networks and streaming platforms.
"I fell in love with these characters when I read Alex's original series proposal and I've had an amazing time working with him and with Naomi to bring them to life for a spooky rollercoaster ride that feels like Nancy Drew on 'shrooms!" Grant Morrison said when the series was announced in December. "Get your kicks… on Proctor Valley Road!"
"I'm thrilled to be teaming up with the mighty Grant Morrison and the insanely talented Naomi Franquiz on my debut comic book, Proctor Valley Road!" said Alex Child. "With the hangover of the 1960s in the rearview, the Vietnam War dragging on, and the Space Race hotting up, we're in small town supernatural America to tell the story of four best friends, three missing jocks, and a real life stretch of road steeped in legends that will ice your spine and leave the blood thumping in your ears. The girls' reputations, friendship, and lives are all on the line in this white-knuckle adventure series as they try to unravel the mysteries and survive the nightmarish terrors of Proctor Valley Road, a place that makes Hell look like Honolulu!"
"Proctor Valley Road is a big slice of Americana laced with uneasy cryptid horror, a side of rebel youth, and a killer soundtrack," Naomi Franquiz said.
Proctor Valley Road #1 goes on sale March 3 from BOOM! Studios.
