Halloween 2026: 3 Terror Tales (Page 1)

 

Welcome back to our third annual Halloween special! 3 Terror Tales is our adaptation of 3 classic Edgar Allen Poe stories. Poe is the godfather of Modern Horror in many ways. We wouldn't have Lovecraft, King, Gaines, so many greats, if not for him. So it only felt right for the cast of Bone Boy Billy to honor the great.

BTB 5: How a Comic Changes from Idea to Final Form

  Greetings from the land of my desk! It's your faithful comic creator, Andrenn, back to tell you more unwanted information about how I make this comic! Today we're gonna cover a little closer to the actual creation process as we cover how a comic goes from it's earliest sketched idea to the final version I post on here. I'm using two recent comics as a good example for this. First up, Billy Comics #26, Bad Dog. This comic had a very different second half.

How you start your story is important and I had a few different ways to start Billy's. Here, we're going to recollect all the times that Billy almost got his first storyline. To be clear, by storyline I mean multi-part/page story arc.. While I had various ideas of how to start Bone Boy Billy, I ended up deciding to go with a series of character vignettes to start us up. Working as more of an introduction to each specific character I wanted to focus on. You could sort of call this a mini-arc like "Meeting the family" or something along those lines, but each comic is it's own separate story.

Nobody ever tried to get in. No one really cared or wondered what was behind the door. But someone had to guard it, so Oltan got stuck with the job.  It gave him time to read up on the world above and all the strange happenings going on. Learning deep knowledge and lore of the supernatural world. Along with...
