Night Mary #1 – Variant – 2005
Step into the hauntingly surreal world of dreams and psychological horror with Night Mary #1 – Variant – 2005, an exceptional debut issue from acclaimed publisher IDW Publishing. This rare variant edition showcases the series’ unique art and disturbing tone with an alternate cover that makes it a true collector's gem for fans of horror comics and indie storytelling alike.
Written by Rick Remender and brought vividly to life with atmospheric artwork from Kieron Dwyer, Night Mary follows the story of Mary Specter, a seventeen-year-old girl trained by her father to enter and explore the dreams of patients at a sleep disorder clinic. When a patient turns out to be a serial killer, Mary is plunged into a terrifying series of lucid nightmares that blur the line between reality and imagination.
Dwyer's moody, stylised visuals enhance the unnerving tone of the narrative, making each panel feel like a fragment of a living dream. With Remender’s trademark blend of noir, horror, and sci-fi elements, Night Mary stands out as a cerebral, nightmarish journey filled with twisted imagery, suspenseful pacing, and unpredictable turns. This first issue lays the groundwork for a chilling five-part miniseries that still resonates with fans of psychological horror and mind-bending thrillers.
The 2005 variant cover offers a more stylised and gritty look, adding to its appeal for collectors seeking uncommon indie horror books. Whether you're a fan of Remender's vast body of work or a newcomer to his early material, this issue is a brilliant example of his genre-defying talent.
