Cereal: Mark Russel Comic Brings Breakfast Monsters to Life at Ahoy Comics
Cereal, from writer Mark Russell and artist Peter Snejbjerg, opens the gates to a dark and distinctively adult graphic novel that takes a lovingly funny approach to the beloved monsters of an earlier generation. A chilling tale awaits as they emerge from the shadows and invade your shopping cart, becoming the devils that lurk behind innocent children’s cereal boxes.
In this volume, CEREAL collects every chapter from AHOY Comics‘ Edgar Allan Poe’s Snifter of… anthologies, offering a unique blend of horror and humor. Additionally, the graphic novel presents three new and never-before-published stories which makes for a thrilling three-part adventure from some of your favorite creators.
Russell shares:
“Monsters play such an expansive role in our collective conscience, being used for everything from giving face to our deepest fears to selling us breakfast cereal. This book looks at monsters from every angle at once. It sees them as we are — as cartoonish but scary, as comical, and yet, still sad.”
Immerse yourself in the secret backstory of The Marquis de Cocoa, a recently transformed vampire who defies the agony of sunrise to host his famous breakfast parties. Within these pages, you’ll encounter familiar characters such as the Quaker, Beau Berrie, and The Brute, as they engage in deadly games. This war of monsters unfolds over 42 never-before-published pages of riveting comics.
Tom Peyer, AHOY Comics Editor-in-Chief, shared his excitement and said:
“CEREAL is a delicious slice of satire. I can’t wait for readers to load up on pop rocks, down a bunch of soda, and discover the charm of The Marquis de Cocoa, the Quaker, Beau Berrie, and The Brute.”
Prepare to delve into the world of CEREAL, where monsters, humor, and horror collide in a delectable fusion of storytelling. Be sure to grab your copy at your favorite local comic shop and digitally on October 11, 2023.
