The first Locke and Key comic book from IDW Publishing went on sale 12 years ago, and nearly everyone who read it, said, “wow, this would make a great television series.”

After a long, winding, often tortuous journey on the entertainment road, here we are. The first season of Locke and Key is on Netflix as of February. It's a fun ride.

Superb storytelling throughout the six L&K mini-series by Joe Hill and Gabe Rodriguez make this one of the top graphic novel series of the 21st century. Gabe’s art just keeps getting better — and more lavishly detailed — as the series progresses.

I’ve loved nearly all of Gabe’s covers, but he rightfully guessed that this would be one of my favorites, with its emphasis on a classic hero vs. monster fight. (And beautiful detail on the monster.) When we introduced Locke and Key to a much wider audience via Free Comic Book Day later on, we chose this to use cover as well.

It’s a beauty. Thanks Gabe.
