Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is one of the hottest comics of the year, with the first issue going back to press for three reprints to date. Though the series’ success still surprises series writer and artist Patrick Hovarth, it may not surprise the comic’s fans, who have gone all in on the spooky serial killer story set in a small idyllic town inhabited by cuddly-looking animals.
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees TP
This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong’s cardinal rule. After all, there’s a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you’ve worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm decor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie… the last thing you want is to disturb the peace.
So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook’s own meets a grisly, mysterious demise — and you wouldn’t blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree.
Cute critters aren’t immune to crime in this original graphic novel debut by writer-artist Patrick Horvath.
