Anyone whos ever readLocke & Key,his brilliant series with artist Gabriel Rodriguez, would surely agree.
Ive always been a comic book writer first, Hill tells EW.
When I started writing comics, I felt almost instantly that I had discovered my element.

It was the version of writing I liked best.
Working onLocke & Keywas one of the most satisfying creative experiences of my life.
Each comic will also come with two-page installments of a back-up feature calledSea Dogs, written by Hill.
DC Comics
As she gets older, Alice returns to the dollhouse, with unexpected results.
But there are also new voices involved in the line.
Marks comes from TV, and worked with Hill on the Hulu incarnation ofLocke & Keys TV adaptation.
DC Comics
Then a storm hits, and brings with it some home invaders, so the girl goes to hide.
It can lop off a head in a single stroke, but then the head keeps talking.
Horror works when the readers are scared for the characters and for themselves.
DC Comics
This story will keep you on your toes.
My job is to check that that the readers feel on their skin what the heroine feels.
Thats both the challenge and the fun part of it.
DC Comics
Like Carpenters masterpiece,Plungeconcerns supernatural events in the frozen north.
So a team of American researchers is sent to salvage the vessel, even as a wintry storm approaches.
Hill teases what they find there: Theres oil on board with unusual properties.
DC Comics
Most upsetting of all is when the men who were on the research vessel emerge from the islands caves.
Theres something terribly wrong with them.
And then the storm closes in.
Sea Dogsis a little different than those two.
Hills return to comics might also spell good news for longtime fans ofLocke & Key.
There will certainly be a Hill House Comics panel at SDCC, on July 19.
Check out the covers for the Hill House books below.
