Dylan Sprouse & Joe Harris's Norwegian horror comic book series SUN EATER is collected in a trade paperback that's available today via Simon and Schuster, and we have an exclusive preview just for Daily Dead readers!
Illustrated by Diego Yapur and colored by D.C. Alonso, with letters by Saida Temofonte, the trade collects issues #1-3 and short stories and prose collected from Heavy Metal Magazine, along with original character designs.
This is something that Dylan Sprouse has been working on for years and he talks about his love for genre and the origins of Sun Eater:
“I love fantasy-action and I wanted to create something that would appeal to newer fans of the genre while tackling an elevated story. The characters I wrote are from actual tales and bardic songs, and the story is about the adult, dark, grotesque, and somber world of Sun Eater and its desperate, faulty protagonist. While I have been actively writing Sun Eater for years, the culmination of the content rings especially true for me now, at this stage of my life.”

"In 9th century Norway, in the battle to save his son, the warrior Kveldulf makes a deal with the gods and joins his body and soul with a monster. Sun Eater is a nine-issue saga that takes place in ninth century Norway, where a drug-addled warrior sacrifices his leg to the Gods. In return he is fused with a parasitic beast, giving him the power to rescue his son from his sworn enemies—history’s first Norwegian king and his five personal guards. The result is a grim and bloody adventure—a dark metaphor for drug addiction, selfishness, and the children it affects."
