From the award-winning team of Shannon Eric Denton and David Hartman comes a rip-roaring adventure complete with terrifying monsters, sinister cults, and a team of oddballs out to save the world.

Jumping between the 1930s and the modern day, a trio of supernatural investigators band together to stop a cult from resurrecting ancient evils.


From the minds of Oscar-nominated Shannon Eric Denton and Emmy-nominated David Hartman comes a chilling story of a decades-long mission that spans generations of monster hunters as they combat the bumps in the night.

Armed with a mystical knife and a prosthetic multi-tool-gatling-gun, Reginald and Debby are the only people stopping evil cults from breaking the barrier between realities.

However, when they find a lab full of human test subjects, they realize the cults’ experiments date back to the 1930s and that Reginald’s own father was involved.

If you’re a fan of supernatural period pieces and cult conspiracies, this is the book for you!

“Denton and Hartman have skillfully concocted a hideous, evil, terrifying monster story with humanity, soul and hope, which is ridiculously rare, and the best kind of yarn for comic book readin’.” Dan Brereton (Nocturnals, Giantkiller)

“You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll scream in terror (and joy) reading their exploits. Well done!” Jeff Mariotte (Desperadoes, Garrison)

“Denton’s writing and Hartman’s art go together so perfectly in this super fun and spooky book! [...] I’m such a big fan!” Jojo Aguilar (art director Twilight of the Gods, Trese)

"Masterfully written, Spectors creates a new rich mythology about the afterlife and humans' quest for power. Brutal, gory and also hilarious. This one is a must for horror fans of all types." Rebekah and David McKendry (Barstow, Glorious)

“Super cool comic, Spectors rocks!! I totally enjoyed the interesting characters, story and especially the spooky universe.” Richard Elfman (Oingo Boingo, Forbidden Zone, Bloody Bridget)

"Spectors is another amazing blast of monster-mania. Shannon Eric Denton and David Hartman bring to life the coolest spooky worlds since 1972 when Gene Colan exploded on the scene with The Tomb Of Dracula!" Rob Zombie (The Devil’s Rejects, Lords of Salem)

"Hartman and Denton are a comic team forged in hell. Their inspired, insidious and transgressive new hellspawn, SPECTORS, is just a dazzling creation. I loved it!" Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Beastmaster)
