New spooky comic, hot off the presses! I wrote this comic and did all the characters, and hired a talented artist named Elena Kolonenko to do the backgrounds! She's super talented and you can follow her here:

Man I really DO love the backgrounds! 😍

Jocelyn F

All your horror is so good. What's the main driver for your inspiration?

E

Fuck that was enjoyable.

Toby Shuman

The style of your characters and Elena's backgrounds mesh together so beautifully, Big love

FloraAnneFauna

Creepy! Was half expecting them to make a new “tape” out of his intestines so they could have something to watch… pretty damn close! Excellent work, as always

mungbean

That camera at the end was mad I love this

Madison

Oh shit. The end got me, fantastic!

Anastasia

Oh SNAP 😮‍💨😳

AggieDoesArt

This is amazing, super creepy and evocative! But I cackled at the Thin Yellow Line poster. 🤣

Jenna

possibly the freakiest one you’ve made 😬 yet i can’t look away!

Hope

So creepy! Wish I didn’t read this right before bed (but as soon as the notification came in i couldn’t resist..)

Dale C Meyer-Curley

That was either the perfect or worst bedtime story...I guess I'll find out as I drift off! L ... thank you!

Breoni Hester

So good, I loved this!!! I want to know what happened to Oliver Joy though 👀

Levi Burger

wow these never fail to amaze me

B. Akira

This gave me actual chills! So good!!!!

Eryn Hazell

I’m both amazed and disturbed by your brain

Saiyaness

Creepy AF. I'm so happy you do horror comics. They're perfect.

MistressNightmares

Whoa. Yeah something wrong with them kids. She should’ve asked for a delivery of movies while she was at it 😭

Stubbadubba

Also holy fuckkkkkk that was intense and good.

Billy

This turned out so well! Ugh, I love and hate this all.

Nicole Zimbardi

So so good!! Also, every time I read a spooky comic I can pinpoint the character who you’ll show uncensored 😂

Bren Cole

Not the Grey Gardens call out!

Kat Russo

The actual shout I gave at *that scene* holy hell Adam, this is 💥

perry

WOW!!!

Laura Tripp

Jesus, Adam. I audibly gasped when I got to Morgan. Amazing.

Julie D

Same 😭 guess I'm staying up a late tonight

Alexis

Eeeee terrifying as always!!

jealoussin

Thank god there was one thick man in this

Lily

adding this to my list of reasons why not to have kids

Abbles

This was absolutely insanely good! I'm in awe at your brilliance Adam

Fae

casual new school rep haha

Elizabeth LePage

I keep thinking you’re latest is my favorite until I read the next one!! This is truly incredible ☠️

Jordan Terry

Jesus CHRIST. This genuinely terrified me! Great work!

Skye Cameron

I won't lie, I'm a little bit curious about the shocking history of mustard.

Tamara Mendelson

Oh my GOD this was absolutely incredible. Had me so on edge

Becca

your horror comics are unmatched 😦

Tamara Mendelson

The way that they made a “camera” using the eyeball…holy shit

fannyslam

kindom 👁👄👁

Quiana Schuler

Dude this comic was amazingly good!!! Everything you do is amazing 👏

LooseGoose

My brain one year from now in the dead of night "the thin yellow line".

Kiara Zaugg

As a mom of five I’m thoroughly creeped good job 😭

Daniel

Why did I read this before bed?? 😭

atriviality

Gaaaaah! So freaking creepy combined with so much attention to detail, yet I have so many unanswered questions that feel like they are crawling up my spine, like so many tiny, big-headed weirdo children.

CatAtk

I need to know what happens next! Why r the kids like this?!?

Paris Deligiannis

Can't wait for the NSFW version of the blond farmer from the start.

Brendan Langley

Is that… Emma and Clarice Pendragon?! 😂👏👏👏

Laurel

Absolutely chilling, thank you

Odin Blaine

Ooooooh very spoooky love it!!!

Jessica S

I need a sequel!!!

Nic S

Fucking horrible I’d like to order 10 more just like it please

okits

🫣 At least Annika got out. I was expecting her body to show up any panel. This was creepy AF, great job.

batgirl._.

Oh yeah, I know a back door to another series when I see one!!

Quartz Tower

Cargo cult type deal towards the end

Nero

Gave me serious chills, probably shouldn’t have read while high, but it was Incredible

Stormy_Heather

Are the Bly Sisters from a different story you've done? They seem familiar... This is really creepy and awesome as always! Thanks for the nightmare fuel!

Joelle Lardi

Wowza. That was intense. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

NibelHungen

Looks like the past history of the game The forest ! Excellent job as usual, love it !

Jocelynne Sylvester

Why did Annika steal the boat?! She probably could have hitched a ride with them, and they could all have escaped. Dick move Annika.

Sunny

Should could have at least given them a chance to come with though 😩

Andy

I keep wondering what they see in the static 😨

Ash

Here for this comment alone

Jenny Levine

The darkest take on iPad kids yet❤️❤️

MitchellTF

The fact that it's "Kindom" is hilarious to me, because one of my other patreons has a character named Kin.

Becca

We need a part 2!

Kristyn Glanville

This is made infinitely scarier for me because my toddler goes to a daycare called Little Kingdom 😵‍💫

Eddy

What a pleasantly twisted surprise. Loved it!

Eddy

Gotta add, these kids reminded me of Dear David. Any connection?

Thom Smith

Oh they're just watching Candle Cove

theo

I loved this.

RobNotTheVerb

I don't condone Annika's actions one bit. That said, she was probably at her limit with the murderous kids. If she tried to clue in the 2 of them, the kids may have picked up on it and have killed them. They seem to have some special method of communication, maybe even telepathically.

Chris O.

Okay this was so good but also THE THIN YELLOW LINE 🤣🤣🤣

Ella

Like always, amazing. Leaving me wanting more, but fully satisfied.

MorShadi

Oh god the camera! Wonderful as usual.

marybeth

please tell me that also means we'll get to read about THE THIN YELLOW LINE (kidding but that really made me laugh!!$

Anon44

I'd watch that, no joke.

Pedro Parente

what a way to start the year! congratulations for the comic

Amadeus

Beautifully done, you're an inspiration

AyaaAcademia

The subtitle to this one is epic!

Cecile

That was excellently creepy 11/10

Nils Thüsing

nice concept and great execution as always!

babybeom

I wonder what could be the reason , probably something in the soil since their moms ate the food that was grown there while pregnant ? Anyways great story and art ! The way they used the bones for a camera is very creative 😃

Puck

Amazing! Love the story! Love the background! 10/10! Creepy AF! And if you made an uncensored pinup of Daddy Farmer, I wouldn’t complain either ;)

Vicki Fraser

Congratulations Adam this is your most fucked up comic yet! 😂

Susan Guggenbuehl

Incredibly creepy! ….and I always suspected there was something shocking about mustard😳

Jp

Relentlessly creepy. Thank you.

Richard

The first thing I thought when I saw daddy farmer was “oh, Adam did that on purpose to make another pinup character!” hehehe

Katy Lees

This is excellent! What are Rory’s pronouns?

Laura

Ooo very creepy, the eye ball in the homemade camera is so terrifying

Maisy Williams

This is amazing i love your horror comics!!!!! also this is your chance to make a twink pinup of morgan... do it do it do it

LordoftheMoths

I was having a nice day, we were all having a nice day... WTF Adam? *eagerly awaits my next day to be ruined*

Lizzie

I have to know what’s wrong with the kids, I need background info

Cheryl Nelson

Weirdly, the first thing they reminded me of was an episode of that show Rugrats, where Tommy stays with two old ladies for a day XD

Awkward Otter

Loved the grey gardens nod, great little chiller!

meeps

prequel when

It's Porga

Oh I loved this!! It was so eerie 🩷🩷

Don Whiteside

I loved the funny moment of The Thin Yellow Line in the middle.

female girl

so you're so vocal and adamant about Israel and Palestine and yet completely fine with working with Russian artists?

Rachel Berning

Sooo good Adam! I want more of this story!

Eddy

Not all Russians are bad people.

Zoey Moser

Just because someone was born in Russia or with a Russian name doesn’t mean they support Putin or his invasion of Ukraine you can’t control where you’re from

Kane

Does she support what Russia are doing to the Ukraine or is she just Russian? Because there's a huge difference.

Calvin

Unrelated, but Adam I know you're a top-tier AI "art" hater, so if you haven't heard of it I highly recommend looking into the tools Glaze and Nightshade, both from U Chicago, which protect against art mimicry and actually poison AI datasets that scrape them, both by making pretty invisible changes to images.

marascomics

Oh my gosh, the backgrounds are so gorgeous and fit the vibe of this so well! Absolutely following the artist on Instagram, they’re incrediblely talented

Emmy

Welp, these creepy comics convinced me to get a Patreon. Looking forward to the next one!

Danni

Holy fuck dude this was incredible, thank you!

Audrey B.

I finally gave in and got the patreon. This was so worth it

Cara

My interpretation, based on nothing more than a hunch that something supernatural is happening, is that some force dictates at least one adult must stay on the island at all times. She got trapped before and found a rare opportunity to make her escape.

zologog

Had to unsubscribe for $ reasons and finally am in a place financially where i can splurge on myself and at the same time support an artist i love. Seems I came back at the perfect time. This is absolutely amazing.

Fiver

I know this is a fully contained story, but I can't help but want more. Is our narrator alive? Who is on the boat? Why didn't the adults who abandoned the place send for help once they got out? Did any of them get out or did the kids kill them all and let the other adults think they escaped?

Kiki

Like others, this comic finally convinced me to join. I'm so glad I did!! I hope you decide to release a physical copy with your horror comics one day, if you haven't already. I'd get it without a second thought. Can't wait to see what else you come up with!

FACK IV

Different issue, if you know properly about that political sphere. Russians were adamantly protesting, despite the sheer danger it posed them. Russian is not “bad.” Many Russian artists I follow have been against their government’s invasion.

Angelica Olivares

adam is an american artist. does that mean he supports the horrors committed by the american government? no. critical thinking skills are important.

Megan Bee

Sometimes the best horror is when it’s unexplained, leaves less room for disappointment. Buuuut would love some lore on what’s happening w the kids

Laura

I am so looking forward to your book!!! I just loooove your horror storys & comics 🥹

Untitled Gallery

Was not expecting a skin wearing child, I’m both shaken and stirred

Zayda Barros

I CANNOT wait for your book, Adam. This is amazing.

Martyna Boszko

This was the most creepy one yet 😭

Samantha Goodman

Thank you for traumatising me right before going to bed 😭

Ilona

i’ve been reading vie insta for years but finally joined the patreon just bc i couldn’t wait for this one to be released 😭😭

Astrriis

This one definitely fucked me up the most, that camera jfc

George D. Fields

So good! What amazing illustrations. What great storytelling.

peach

this is the freakiest one I've seen you make !! LOVE the gore <3

Forde

Need the NSFW of the literal daddy stat!

Delightingale

Omg, when I realized the kid made a boom microphone and put on the sound guys face to be a sound guy

Sunny

Holy shit that was brilliant

Truffy

I love all these new horror comics.

Danielle

This was an insane story but I loved it

Annie L

It's brilliant! Beautiful writing, illustrations and a thoroughly creepy story!

Freddie

I maybe shouldn't have read this at 2am but the insta post of it was so intriguing I had to create a patreon account

Ghost

Always killing it with the horror. This should be an actual film...gives me Children of the Corn type of vibe.

Liv

Wow this will probably haunt me forever tbh. Excellent work 😅

Johniece Elbert

Bro...I finally joined patreon to finish this and wtf 😭 Now imma go read more of your work

kiers

seeing this on his insta finally convinced me to get his patreon n this comic absolutely gagged me!! literally so fantastic omg, so worth it

Laura Rose

Followed for years on insta - this new one convinced me to join and support! So glad i did!

little_cat

Yo me too, signed up for your Patreon cos of this comic. Absolutely worth it 🔥

bonnie

🫨

Bradles

Absolutely hectic, another banger thriller

Jace

Damn

Tjai

New subscriber. Only nitpick is that the lady’s facial expressions are so nonplussed until the horror starts. But I guess it’s somewhat explainable in-universe as she’s become extremely jaded. The bone video camera is amazing.

Rachel K

This was such a fucked up thing to say. I’m appalled.

Emily Gordon

I’d love a sequel. I’m hooked 😂

Mary Rodriguez-Watson

Your horror comics are always leave me wanting more (in the best way)! A full length graphic novel, or a physical collection of the short stories would be awesome.

Reuben

Same!

Renc Art

You write the best creep 😍

Emerson

Okay that was messssssed up ;o

Bee

This is so extremely cool

FandomVet

Nooo I wanna know what happened to Rory 😭

female girl

Oh my god. I was not going to engage with you because I have no intention to explain literally centuries of colonization, but that's just too much. I'm sorry you're appalled by my question rather than the actual events. The only thing that's fucked up here is the Russians' proficiency at playing the victim and how easy the west falls for it. I didn't blame anyone, I simply asked a question. And of course I checked the artist's page before asking. All she's managed to say about it is how sad she is that _she_ is denied her "beauty and peace." Is that the famous Russian resistance for you? Sorry for my oh so appallingly radical views, but in my opinion, saying nothing is no different from enabling.

Alona

This one on his instagram , made me purchase a subscription ♥️ totally worth it!!!

Kelly Broomhall

It doesn't make sense to not ask for help and back-up imo.

Caitlin Burke

Amazing ❤️ (new subscriber from Insta)

Mark Brewer

This is the one that made me subscriber. So good!

Delaney Pollard

He made one! It’s coming out in April, you can preorder it on Amazon

The Crafty Tarfith

I'm not generally a horror fan, but your concepts always pull me in, in an enjoyable way

delanee

i had to have the rest of this comic so i subscribed…so glad i did!!

Arnel Sancianco

Is no one going to comment that the Blythe Sisters in the Pale Manor Doc are Emma and Clarice Pendragon from Rugrats? Nice 90’s Easter Egg Adam

chicknbaconranchmelt

Holy shit Adam that was crazy I am very glad I subscribed to finish this--

Joana Seco

So good. I usually gate horror, but tour comics just make me want to see it! I hope we do get a sequel.

Alyia

Wow, this is your first comic that actually terrified me. The story, the character design... Everything makes the reader uneasy and tense. Great job!

Ian Wickham

Joined the Patreon to see the conclusion to this one, well worth it.

CharlesYYZ

OMG it is so creepy and good! Please tell me there is more!

Charlie

The Grey Gardens Reference 😂😭

Jojo

This should be a horror film. I want more! Like why the adult fled, how they fled, and what the people in the boat do after they found the note in the bottle.

Mars Reilly

only on the second page and i know which character's nudes we're getting next werk

Erika Statler

Gave me Grey Gardens/Baby Jane vibes 🫢

Erika Statler

It goes deeper! Emma and Clarice Pendragon from Rugrats that was very Baby Jane vibes

Y

I really want to know more about the children. What’s the origin story? So intriguing!

Drissy Hopespire

Big old village of the dammed vibes, great turn with it! This would be a killer film.

Alejandra

Noooooo she has to live!!!

Kiara Zaugg

Kononenko is a Ukrainian surname…

Holly Ruyle

I also joined to see this one lol

Amy Nguyen

ok but wow the camera being made of BONES!!! the kids are sick but the skills are sickening

Anonymous

The fact that the kids are recreating their experiences with the filmmakers by literally wearing Morgan's face is so chilling. The role of documentarians in society and whether they're guilty of exploitation of their subjects is such a real moral struggle that is captured really well here.

Yahaira Reyes

I need to know whats wrong with the island!!

Kirsty

This could possibly be my new favourite

Elina Sellgren

I am amazed by how skillfully the kids removed his face leaving those muscles intact.

Faline

OMG I LOVE THIS

Tzitzi janik Rojas Torres

I finally have to join patreon just because you are soooo good ! and i do not regret it

Cindy G

WAAAWW SUCH A GOOD READ!! I got patreon because of you and how talented you are!! Your collaborators always delivers and gives your comics so much lifee!! Thank you for this story ❤️

Laura

Soooo.. will they? Will they stay away? 🤔

Michelle Jarni

Wow that was incredible. Just joined your patron after seeing the teaser on IG

Emeralda Padron

Will there be a continuation to the story?

David Sotoca Fernández

This comic just made me subscribe and I honestly couldn’t be any happier with the quality of the content here 😍

Chris Mingus

Jebus, that's even more messed up than the Bloody Mary one.

Chasey

Wonder why the kids never killed Annika

Ronniford

Morgan Moore’s? Lol

Jessica Varela

Damn, Annika said fuck y'all and bounced at the first opportunity.

Fizz

This one might be your creepiest yet! I actually had nightmares lol

Tom

I would like to watch "The thin yellow line"

lindee

Welp, guess we're not getting sexy Morgan pics 😬

Lys

wonderfully horrifying as always, adam

Morgan

Just a heads up, the g is missing from the title so it says Kindom 😅

Sarah Sarah

Holy shit this one is so creepy. Nicely done Adam. No further questions. I don’t want lore, I accept that Rory is definitely dead, and I will calmly wait for my nightmares to start.

Erin210

I think it's deliberate as in 'kin'

Morgan

Oh okay, I wasn’t sure if it was intentional or not :)

Steph

I know there won't be one but I'd love to see what happens next

Rajlord

Jeez 😭

shellbargo

Absolutely horrifying one of your scariest yet 😭😭😭

Banshee

Oooh, this one made me so uncomfortable. Love it

Kappathefish

the cover page is Kingdom so i think it is a typo

Menkuna

I hope someone gets you a movie deal

Menkuna

I'm assuming she either provided for them in some way (like food) and taught them things which made them accept her (also probably because she was the only one who stayed for whatever reason) OR they planned to do something with her but she escaped before they could

Sarah Spark

Tbf Morgan seemed kinda unphased

Tarvor Lundy

This is awesome. Super scary! Do they stay kids forever? I hope this is a series. Maybe a Jordan Peele collab?

LX Chock

So good it could be a movie. I would watch it

AubreyIsReading

I love this. The camera made of Morgan? Genius work and creepy as hell. (Random side note: I have a niece named Annika who looks just like the way you’ve drawn her here, so it made me all the more drawn in to the story and also happy that she escaped 😅.)

Jerseygirl

Woah. Freak stuff. Great work.

James Cruz

Terrifying. I'm always a wuss for faces being worn as masks. Exactly why I can't rewatch Midsommar 😅

Mongoose

Part of the genius of this story is that we're left in the dark about what's going on. I really want to know, but I respect the fact that it's left to our imaginations

Nicole M

I did a double take 😄. Love it

Ghost

If you ever did a animated short it would be killer.

MippyMoo

HAAAAAAH ACTUALLY HORRIFIC, WONDERFUL JOB

magyes

joined patreon so i could finish this. worth it

Aurora D

@adam did you get the original inspo from the filmmaker that was killed trying to convert the tribe?

Gianna Macioce

This was physically painful thank you

Mar

I desperately need a physical release of this

KK

Well, I screamed. Outloud. Scared tf out of my cat.

Kea

This was v horrible I loved it

betsy b

Omggg i need another part!

Jessi RaRaRa

Must... have... part.... two :O

Sumita Ghosh

I randomly remembered this story last night and couldn’t sleep. So thanks I guess

Jessica T

They had practice :)

Shosh

I just gasped so loud in the middle of LAX

River

well that was creepy

Maddie Lee

this is insane, i desperately need children pov

Chris Mullen

Very creepy! But also lol at their other documentary “The Thin Yellow Line: A Shocking History of Mustard”

Amanda Stevenson

I love this I want to learn all about these little weirdos now

Dani Franck

I just subscribed to your patreon just to read the end of this story and i regret it (no i dont)

Mal

She’s not even asking to be rescued.

Eddie Munster

Anyone who showed up would to help would be sucked into the same cursed fate. Her selflessness spares others and is the only true possibility of a distant happy ending... assume she serves these creepoids for decades and eventually passes of weariness and old age, maybe the children are somehow...damaged by not having a human connection. It's possible the cursed caretaker role ends with her sacrifice. She's a hero.

Lindsay Trostle

This is INCREDIBLE. Netflix should make these into animated stories and give you lots of money.

Mark houlihan

Sis really just abandoned Morgan screaming in pain and then acted surprised he didn’t make it through the night 🤣

Lady Jellybean

Jesus tap dancing Christ...I love it

e. r.

desperately need this as a movie

Jamie13

Well damn... you know idk why I always seem to be reading your work at night, but here I am

Gelasia Diafygis

Kind of depressing for the kids too. They're murderous but I don't think they asked to be that way. They're attempting at quality of life with no understanding of human morals or limits. I don't think you can fix that

Gelasia Diafygis

I was just thinking that. They're not well lol. What is their thought process here

Marcus

But tell us more of the hunky guy in overalls...

brianna m.

yeah this one got me

mungbean

Whoooo is Oliver Joy

Forbidden Soaps

Oh my god I was wracking my brain trying to figure out where I'd seen them 😭😭😭

Catherine Eng

oh i totaly perceived the main character as male lmao

Catherine Eng

thats a film you only watch once, for sure lol

Catherine Eng

anyone else think the kids look like Code Lyoko?

Alight

Nice comic. One thing: as someone who partakes in taxidermy and skinning,- Oh, wait, I have multiple things to say, geez, one moment- [Thinking] Okay, the face. Faces are probably the hardest are to work on because *think of all the different ways it moves*. It is firmly rooted and carefully secured with cartilage, the fat is thin and the muscles are directly into the skin in most places. Best case scenario, you work from the back of the head and then pull with juuust the right amount of force to deglove the bulk of it.. but the eyes come with and it sticks at the nose. [Pauses to check the panels,] the skin around the eyes is intact and the eyes are missing. I think the eyes shooould be cut in half, with the back halves still in the head, but they used the eyes for- HOW DID THEY USE THE EYES??? I FORGOT ABOUT THAT— HOW ARE THEY INTACT??? Not to mention, eyeballs are fluid filled flesh sacks, those suckers should be partway deflated. I understand not this witchcraft before me! Blerp, blerp, blerp, blerp. What’s next? Tools, let’s do that. A butcher’s knife makes sense for divvying up the body into more manageable portions for that teensy little workspace. Frankly, that they could work there at all is the real mystery here, my work space at least allows me to have gravity on my side; they’d be fighting just to keep the thing still! How little blood’s actually on the table makes sense to me. People tend to think we’re a bunch of animated polmogranits, however that word’s spelt, but we’re really more like apples or grapes; we’re mostly liquid and that liquid is mostly NOT free-floating. Putting the glasses back on was cute. These weirdos were paying their freakish respect. The camera. Oh my stars, the camera. I choose to believe those are bones from the first person that killed and that the only part of it is from the cameraman are the eyes. My guy, I have been trying to remove muscle, cartilage, and miscellaneous membrane tissue from my bones for MONTHS now. Do these kids have those beetles I keep hearing about??? Do they have heavy duty flesh melting chemicals stashed away somewhere? I am intrigued. I forgot to mention the tools, or at least go into proper depth about them. The knife looks fine, I have attempted to use a similar knife (it’s too long and too straight, the real horror in this comic is these kids’ time manipulation abilities because- if skinning a raccoon takes four hours than at least partially skinning and then wholly taking apart a full grown human man should have taken DAYS. Unless these kids are pros. Who knows, maybe they have a lot more experience than they’re letting on, maybe they’ve dismantled all of the other adults already. Maybe that one lady was the sole escapee. Anything else? To want to ramble a little bit longer. Anything else? I guess the butcher’s knife is a bit of an impractical choice.. a basic hand saw would work a lot better and get cleaner cuts. A firewood axe would be more sensible, as they live among trees their homes are wooden. Getting that flimsy bit of metal throw a femur is an impressive feat, I commend these forest gremlins for their perseverance.

Alight

Wait. That camera. It features pieces of the spine. [Clears throat], HOW THE HECK DID THEY GET THAT PART READY?????? Do you have ANY idea how much connective tissue is on those suckers????? How spiky they are????? THOSE KIDS ARE MASTERS IN THEIR CRAFT!!!!

Andy Curto

This was good but the ending was underwhelming. I want to know more about the kids, why they were different
