Abstract
Horror has adapted and pervaded the arts and entertainment for as long as storytelling was humanly possible. It has an infinite amount of genres and sub-genres to satisfy every niche fear both tangible and ephemeral. Between the lengths and depravities of human nature and the expanse of the unknown, the foreign, the weird, there lies the sense of discomfort - discomfort being the vehicle with which this genre is perpetuated. It is with this vehicle of discomfort that I intend to explore creating my own visual art in the horror genre through a comic book in which the character experiences a physical, spiritual or otherwise intangible discomfort that has both real and metaphorical representations. This comic book, comprising approximately 25 pages in story content, a front cover, a back cover and one variant cover will endeavor to visually engage in combining my love and adoration for the horror genre as well as the experiences obtained and techniques learned during my time with Winthrop University’s Department of Design.
