Horror, history, and Russian folklore collide in this brutal survival tale, where the worst prison in the world is merely the gateway to even darker terrors.
Rich Douek became infatuated with comics at a young age, using his allowance and whatever spare change he could find to buy them off the rack at the candy store near his home in NYC. Years later, after building a successful career in copywriting (and filling up quite a few long boxes), he was able to realize a lifelong dream by publishing Gutter Magic, his first original comic, through IDW and Comics Experience. Since then, he has been pursuing further writing opportunities in the world of comic books, and beyond.
"Road of Bones is a well-oiled machine, running on tension and
terror, stripped-down to its core. Don't let the lack of bulleted
text fool you: Road of Bones is one of the best horror comics of
the year, with storytelling so finely honed, it's deadly, and an
ending that feels earned and satisfying. " —Comic Book Yeti
"Rich Douek's rocket ship is going right to the moon, he's become
the master of horror comics." —The Word Bros
“This is the kind of terror that gets under your skin, giving you
an uneasy feeling that will stay with you for some time. It will
freak you right out.” —Horror DNA
“Road of Bones is an exercise in bleakness, the sheer uncaring
nature of the universe writ small on two desperate men whose only
crime is the will to survive.” —Major Spoilers
"Survival horror, chilling thriller, superbly tense writing,
artwork from one of the best comic book illustrators working at the
moment.” —Big Comic Page
"Road of Bones is, for me, a perfect isolation thriller/horror
series that slowly builds a feeling of tension, dread, and
claustrophobia, panel after panel, all the way to the end. Rich
Douek has been a new discovery for me this year and I can honestly
say that I’ve been blown away by just how good his writing is. This
is a relatively short series at just four issues, but I was gripped
from start to finish in a story that is as terrifying for what is
not on the page as what is. The final payoff in this series is
glorious." —Big Comic Page
