Locke & Key co-creators Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez are reuniting to produce Tales from the Darkside, a new comic series from IDW, the company announced.  The pair did some work on a reboot of the TV series with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci a few years back (see “’Locke & Key’ Movie Tied Up”).  Now they’re taking the concept to the world of comics, with Hill calling it “the show that could’ve been.”

The pair are tweaking the anthology format of the original TV series.  “Every story is meant to stand alone, but gradually, you will come to see how they all connect, to tell a single larger story,” Hill said. 

Rodriguez will provide covers, and Charles P. Wilson III will contribute variant covers.

The series will launch in June.
