King, Evely, Lopes + Cowles reunite for ‘Helen of Wyndhorn’

“It’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ meets Conan.”

The award-winning Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow team will reunite for a new title coming from Dark Horse Comics next year.

Helen of Wyndhorn by writer Tom King, artists Bilquis Evely and Matheus Lopes, and letterer Clayton Cowles will tell the story of the daughter of a deceased pulp fiction writer who finds out his creations live in the woods outside his house.

“It’s Wuthering Heights meets Conan,” King said on Twitter. “It’s thrilling, gothic, heartbreaking, heartwarming and SO beautiful. If you dug Supergirl, this book’s for you.”

Here are the story details from Dark Horse:

Following the tragic death of her father C.K. Cole, the esteemed pulp writer and creator of the popular warrior character Othan, Helen Cole is called to her grandfather’s enormous and illustrious estate: Wyndhorn House. Scarred by Cole’s untimely passing and lost in a new, strange world, Helen wreaks drunken havoc upon her arrival. However, her chaotic ways begin to soften as she discovers a lifetime of secrets hiding within the myriad rooms and hallways of the expansive manor. For outside its walls, within the woods, dwell the legendary adventures that once were locked away within her father’s stories.

The first issue has several variant covers to choose from, by Tula Lotay, Elsa Charretier, Massimo Carnevale, Clay Mann and Walt Simonson with Laura Martin:
