Crownsville

Crownsville, a five-issue limited series from Oni Press running from 2025 to 2026, is a historical horror comic set in a real and haunted asylum in Maryland. The story follows a young Black psychiatrist who arrives at the infamous Crownsville Hospital Center, only to discover that the institution's dark past of unethical experiments has unleashed a supernatural terror. Written by David Crownson and illustrated by Kelsey Wroten, the series draws on the chilling true history of the hospital to explore themes of systemic racism and buried trauma. It matters for its unflinching blend of genre fiction with a deeply researched, unsettling chapter of American medical history.
