LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT

A lost piece of film history has returned with an official graphic novel adaptation! Originally released in 1927 starring the iconic Hollywood legend Lon Chaney, the last known copy of the murder mystery/horror film London After Midnight was lost to the ages in the MGM vault fire of 1965, making it a “Holy Grail” of horror and film enthusiasts alike across the world for decades. Now, in conjunction with Chaney Entertainment and Source Point Press, this legendary piece of film history has been brought back to life as a graphic novel based on the original screenplay remastered and restored by Ron Chaney and adapted to graphic novel form by writer Dirk Manning (Nightmare World), illustrator Joshua Ross (Left Turns), colorist Colin Johnson (Love Stories About Death), letterer Dave Lentz (Homestead), and editor Drena Jo (Twiztid Haunted High-Ons). After a century of waiting, you can finally experience the full story of… LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT!
