Coming out of ComicsPRO, we’re excited to exclusively share with Daily Dead readers that Grandes de lo Macabro, the landmark horror anthology by Joan Boix, will be translated for the first time this year. SHP Comics has acquired the worldwide English-language publishing rights, and we have all the details, along with preview pages you can read right now!
From the Press Release: SHP Comics is proud to announce the acquisition of the worldwide English-language publishing rights to Grandes de lo Macabro, a seminal horror graphic anthology by Spanish artist Joan Boix. This acquisition marks the first time this iconic work, celebrated in Spain, will be made available in English for horror comics aficionados worldwide.
According to Shawn Hainsworth, publisher of SHP Comics, “Joan Boix is an exceptional talent whose contributions to horror comics deserve broader recognition. Publishing the English language edition of this remarkable collection reflects SHP’s commitment to publishing historically significant and artistically bold works.”
Originally published in Spanish by Aleta Ediciones, Grandes de lo Macabro gathers twenty chilling tales as told by Joan Boix. These stories are a compelling mix of original narratives intertwined with masterful adaptations of classic horror fiction, inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Franz Kafka, Edgar Allan Poe, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
“This is a pleasant surprise, seeing my work, initially in black and white, now published by SHP Publishing in magnificent color” says Joan Boix. “I can only express my gratitude for their superb work.”
Joan Boix is a celebrated Spanish comics creator whose prolific career spans decades and genres. While his work has appeared in horror anthologies and genre publications over the years, Grandes de lo Macabro represents a definitive showcase of his distinctive work, which has remained largely inaccessible to English-language readers until now.
