The Nice House on the Lake Vol 1 TPB – DC Black Label

In-Store Date: March 1, 2022

The Nice House on the Lake Vol 1 collects the opening chapter of James Tynion IV and Álvaro Martínez Bueno's Eisner Award-winning horror series from DC Black Label, one of the most acclaimed original comics of the 2020s.

Written by James Tynion IV with art by Álvaro Martínez Bueno and colors by Jordie Bellaire, the story begins with an invitation. A group of people, each connected in some way to a magnetic, mysterious man named Walter, are brought to his idyllic lakeside retreat for a getaway. Shortly after they arrive, the world outside ends. The guests are left to work out what Walter really is, why they were chosen, and whether surviving the apocalypse in paradise is a gift or a trap.

This 200-page trade paperback collects The Nice House on the Lake #1 through #6, the complete first half of the twelve-issue series. Martínez Bueno's clean, unsettling linework and inventive page design earned the book Eisner wins for Best New Series and Best Writer, and the collected edition reproduces the art at full size with the original color.

Essential reading for horror fans, Tynion collectors following his work from Something Is Killing the Children and The Department of Truth, and readers who want a modern classic in a single volume. Mature readers. New and unread.
