PSYCHEDELIC HAUNTED HOUSE EPIC SPECTREGRAPH #1 FROM JAMES TYNION IV & CHRISTIAN WARD SELLS OUT AT THE DISTRIBUTOR LEVEL
NEW YORK, NY – May 6, 2024 – DSTLRY, the next-generation publisher redefining creator-owned comic books and collectibles, proudly announces the rapid sellout of SPECTREGRAPH #1 at the distributor level. Following similar sellouts from Gone #1 by Jock and Somna #1 by Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay, SPECTREGRAPH #1 by James Tynion IV (Something Is Killing The Children, The Nice House on the Lake) and Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness, Invisible Kingdom) made its highly anticipated debut last week in comic book shops, following a wave of glowing early reviews and months of fervent fan anticipation.
While DSTLRY distribution partners Diamond Comic Distributors and Lunar Distribution have exhausted their inventories, avid comic enthusiasts may still have an opportunity to secure a copy of this harrowing release at their local comic shops, as well as through dstlry.co. SPECTREGRAPH revolves around an ominous California mansion with occult ties and the real estate agent, Janie, who finds trapped within its winding halls, where a malicious machine sits at its center, surrounded by ethereal and grotesque inhabitants of the occult estate.
“I’m blown away by the reception of SPECTREGRAPH,” explains writer and co-creator James Tyion IV. “This is a project that stems from my adoration of classic horror, while building on its foundation with Christian’s inimitable art and a new take on the ghost story. It raises my spirits to see it haunt so many readers.”
“SPECTREGRAPH has been a true delight, taking a gothic template and giving a neon, psychedelic makeover,” continued artist and co-creator Christian Ward. “These designs are some of the most insidious, surreal monstrosities I was able to drudge from my subconscious. I’m happy to see them seep into the minds of so many other horror lovers.”
Spinning out of Tynion IV & Ward’s 5-page story of the same name from DSTLRY’s debut release The Devil’s Cut, SPECTREGRAPH is an adrenaline-pumping, sinister entry in the canon of masterful horror.
“James has proven himself as one of the most accomplished and inventive storytellers in sequential art,” said DSTLRY co-founders Chip Mosher and David Steinberger in a joint statement. “Combined with Christian’s arresting aesthetic and ingenious paneling, there’s little surprise that SPECTREGRAPH would flourish.”

Praise for SPECTREGRAPH #1
“To truly dispel any ambiguity, Spectregraph #1 is a marvel of a first issue. Densely packed and full of uncertainty, it continues Tynion’s dominance in the field of horror comics, somehow catching lightning in a bottle once again.”
—Multiversity
“Spectregraph #1 is a fantastic, character driven horror tale from some of the greatest minds in comics today.”
—Comic Watch
“The plot twists and turns in unexpected ways, just what we hope for a haunting and horrifying comic. The story is not exactly what we were expecting in such an amazing way. We really don’t know where the book is headed in future issues and we love that so much.”
—Capes & Tights
