Joe Hill Announces San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Issue Of "LOCKE & KEY" #1 To Celebrate 15 Year Anniversary

Author and all around spooky guy, Joe Hill has taken to his blog to announce a new 15th year anniversary edition of Locke & Key number 1 that will drop exclusively at this years San Diego Comic Con.

By the looks of things, the comic will be available at the IDW booth during SDCC.

Locke & Key has been around for 15yrs, we got a Netflix show that sort of does the comic justice but nothing beats the original work and Joe Hill himself had a few things to say about this new printing of the first issue for SDCC below.

Okay, I do have one thing on the horizon. D’you believe the first issue of Locke & Key dropped fifteen years ago? IDW is doing a 15th anniversary reprint of the first issue and — yeah, okay, I know, this issue has been reprinted to death. But scratching around for something to make it special-ish, we came across a joke script I wrote a few years ago, called “Locke & Key, Only Bad.” Gabe drew it, Jay Fotos colored it, and we tacked it in as, like, a DVD extra. It takes the story in a direction I think absolutely no one would’ve wanted it to go. So, basically, it’s priceless. This will land at SDCC and appear in comic stores in mid-July. Check it out and… I’m so, so sorry. 😔

"Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them... and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all..."
