Locke & Key: The Top of My Stack 6/22
DAVE can’t wait to read LOCKE & KEY: CLOCKWORKS #1 this week!
If you’ve seen the last few editions of “The Top of My Stack”, you know that Free Comic Book Day helped introduce my family to a number of comic series. The kids found some new comics to love and I found a couple including Locke & Key. The horror comic is a series of mini-series that has been consistently popular since its inception. I wasn’t overly impressed with the very first issue all those years ago, but when reviewing the FCBD books, L&K stood out by re-introducing the concept.
Comic Book Resources interviewed Hill about his series:
““Locke & Key” is about three children who find themselves custodians of Keyhouse, a New England mansion filled with “impossible doors.” Explained Hill, “There’s a door that will turn you into a ghost when you walk through it. There’s a closet filled with different robes – an African robe, a Chinese robe, Indian furs – and by throwing on these cloaks you can change your race. Most of all, somewhere in the house, there’s a door that must never be opened, the black door. Naturally, there’s someone who wants to open it, a creature named Dodge, a kind of Peter Pan gone horribly wrong. Someone who takes the Lost Boys of the world and turns them Columbine.”"
