About the series
A quiet, unsettling Southern Gothic comic from Rothic, Southern Nightgown began its run in 2016 and has continued through four issues. Artist Dawn McTeigue is the primary visual voice of the series, which draws its tension from the humid, languid atmosphere of the American South. The series matters for its slow-burn, atmospheric approach to horror, letting a sense of dread build from place and mood rather than overt shocks.
