Or, intro? Anyway, I had 750 words to sum up horror comics for NPR, since they kept coming up when we were curating the 100 Horror list. Was cool, trying to make everything fit.

Every year when I cobble together some best-of-the-year list from half-remembered this and that, I always end up remembering stuff from the last few months instead of the whole year, and feeling like that’s all unfair. So, in an effort to work around that, and trusting that I actually come back and LOOK at this in five months, but mostly because I’m just now thinking of it, here’s my favorites so far:
