Daphne Byrne

In 2021, DC Comics launched Daphne Byrne, a one-shot horror story that reimagines a classic DC character through a gothic, supernatural lens. The issue follows a young woman in the late 19th century who, after a family tragedy, finds herself drawn into a dark pact with a mysterious, otherworldly presence. Written by Laura Marks with art by Kelley Jones, the comic stands as a taut, atmospheric exploration of grief and moral compromise, showcasing Jones's distinctive, shadow-drenched visuals. It’s a compact but potent entry in DC’s horror lineage, offering a self-contained, unsettling tale.
