Crown of Horns (comic)
Crown of Horns is an American horror comic book series created by Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook. Published by Dark Horse Comics, the series serves as a sequel to their earlier collaboration, Harrow County.
The story continues the narrative of Emmy Crawford, now a young woman, as she navigates her inherited powers and the supernatural threats that plague Harrow County. Emmy is the reincarnation of Hester Beck, a powerful witch who was lynched by the original settlers of the county. While Emmy initially sought to protect the county, Crown of Horns explores the complexities of her role and the growing darkness within her.
Key themes within the series include family, legacy, the burden of power, and the ever-present threat of the supernatural. The comic is known for its atmospheric art style, characterized by Crook's watercolor paintings, and Bunn's talent for crafting compelling horror narratives. Recurring characters from Harrow County also appear, further enriching the established world and mythology. Crown of Horns ran for a limited number of issues, concluding the storyline begun in Harrow County.
