Diabolical Summer

In Diabolical Summer (2019–present, IDW), a single-issue comic by artist Alexandre Clerisse, a quiet beach town’s off-season calm is shattered by a mysterious, otherworldly heat wave that awakens buried secrets. This self-contained story offers a tight, atmospheric horror-thriller where the oppressive summer sun itself becomes a character. Clerisse’s moody, sun-drenched artwork is the driving force, making this a standout example of IDW’s commitment to creator-driven, standalone genre tales.
