The six-issue comic was a surprise hit when it debuted in 2024, and Horvath unexpectedly found himself working on a second volume, <em>Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring<\/em>, which wrapped earlier this year. A third volume is in the works. The title has sold over 400,000 for IDW and is the publisher\u2019s biggest-selling original series.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhile details for the new comic are being kept under the counter, the story is set in the years after Strong infamously left the town (see the recent volume 2 for all the grizzly, I mean, grisly details). In that time, her legend has only grown, and more and more horrific murders have been tied back to her. Some are her doing, others mere folklore.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=1741\">Aaron Sorkin on Why Jesse Eisenberg Didn\u2019t Return as Mark Zuckerberg for \u2018Social Reckoning\u2019: \u201cHas His Problems With the Guy\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe premise sees the town\u2019s citizens coming around a campfire and spilling the beans on some of most terrifying deeds.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cWe reached out to creators whose work I really admire and who we felt could tune into the specific wavelength of <em>Beneath the Trees<\/em>,\u201d Horvath said about the process of finding his collaborators. \u201cIn particular, I\u2019ve always tried to keep some sort of balance of keeping it cute, horrific, cozy, and upsetting, and everyone onboard very much understands how to tap into that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFleecs is being paired with Wachter, his artistic collaborator on <em>Uncanny Valley<\/em>, the duo\u2019s indie comic that was Eisner-nominated for best new series in 2025. He established himself as a writer of hit horror involving talking animals with his serial killer title <em>Stray<\/em> <em>Dogs<\/em> and zombie horror <em>Feral<\/em>, so felt like a natural choice for the project.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI was a <em>Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees<\/em> fan before almost anyone,\u201d Fleecs said in a statement. \u201cI read a review copy before the first issue came out and haven\u2019t stopped loudly singing its praises since. Patrick is working in a subgenre of a subgenre.
