Damien Worm Meets Royal Horror
Damien Worm has built one of the most devoted followings in horror comics through his work on titles like October Faction — his ability to conjure dread through texture, shadow, and color is unmatched in the genre. Writer Hannah Rose May and artist Kelsey Ramsay have crafted a series that is as wickedly funny as it is genuinely terrifying, and Cover B captures that tonal balance perfectly. A collector's piece that works as standalone horror art as much as it does a comic cover.
👑 Fun Fact: Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms — which means if there really were a demonic possession happening inside, it could take a very long time to find the source. The exorcists are going to need a map.
CVR (Cover)CVR A: The Standard Edition. This is the primary artwork found in most retail shops.
CVR B (and beyond): The Variant Edition. "B" is the first alternative cover, followed by C, D, and so on. These are often produced in smaller quantities than Cover A.
VAR (Variant)Definition: Short for Variant.Purpose: A general label confirming the book is an alternative cover option rather than the standard retail edition. These are often used to showcase guest artists or celebrate special milestones.
CARD STOCK Material: A thicker, stiffer, and more premium paper (similar to a business card).Benefits: Highly durable and resistant to "spine ticks" (small structural cracks) or corner bending.
Standard covers use thin, glossy paper; Card Stock is the "deluxe" physical upgrade.
FOIL (Foil Variant)Effect: A special edition where parts (or all) of the cover are printed with metallic, reflective foil.
Visuals: Provides a shimmering, high-end look that catches the light. These are typically priced higher and sought after for their "shelf appeal."
Artist Name (Variant Credit)Context: Usually follows the "CVR" designation (e.g., CVR B - Jimenez).
Collectability: Many collectors buy books specifically for the cover artist. A "Store Variant" or "Ratio Variant" is often defined by the prestige of the artist involved.
New Releases: Sold direct-from-distributor. While handled with care, we do not guarantee specific numerical grades or "mint" condition.
Back Issues: Sold As-Is.
Imagery: We primarily use stock photography.
