The British Paranormal Society: Time Out of Mind story by Chris Roberson, art by Andrea Mutti, and colors by Lee Loughridge
Investigating two separate mysteries, Simon Bruttenholm and Honora Grant go to the British village Noxton. Honora is investigating the local spring festival which has some very strange elements, least of which is the substitution of a Gray Man for the typical Green Man. Simon has come in search of his assistant who went to Noxton to investigate an ancient stone circle. The locals are very quiet about both mysteries, inspiring these members of the British Paranormal Society to dig deeper into what is going on.
The story moves quickly and has some nice moments. Quaint villages and customs naturally raise the hairs on the back of horror fans' heads, where the likes of The Wicker Man or Midsommar are floating around. The art conveys weirdness and tension without being needlessly graphic. The heroes are fun to root for and they make a good team. I hope some more stories like this are told of the British Paranormal Society.
