The Beast of Boriken #1 CVR A Daniel Irizarri

The Beast of Boriken #1 launches an electrifying new five-issue True Weird series from Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion, written by Eisner Award–nominated creator Julio Anta and illustrated by Daniel Irizarri, with colors by Patricio Delpeche and letters by Lucas Gattoni. Set in contemporary Puerto Rico, the story follows Loli Flores, a fierce activist fighting the overdevelopment of her island, whose world is violently upended when el Chupacabra emerges from legend as a brutal supernatural protector tied to generations of indigenous Borikén history. This debut issue includes a bonus True Weird short story and establishes one of 2026's most culturally urgent and visually striking new horror comics. A must-read for fans of Dark Horse horror, Latina storytelling, and creature-feature comics.
