Dark Horse Comics announced Falconspeare, an original graphic novel featuring characters from Mr. Higgins Comes Home and Our Encounters with Evil: Adventures of Professor J.T. Meinhardt and his Assistant Mr. Knox, for release into comic shops on September 29 and bookstores on October 12.

This OGN delivers a Victorian-style mystery showcasing monster hunter characters Professor Meinhardt, Mr. Knox, and Ms. Van Sloan. In this tale, the team investigates what happened to their friend and vampire slayer, James Falconspeare. Mike Mignola, who drew the cover for this book and created the characters along with Warwick Johnson-Cadwell, commented on the OGN:

“Mr. Higgins Comes Home was a silly little story that basically wrote itself, inspired by old movies both Warwick and I love,” said Mignola. “I certainly didn’t imagine it would lead to other things, but seeing Warwick take those couple of characters from the original and create a whole world around them has been a real joy. I hope he’s having as much fun making these books as he appears to, because (now that I can just enjoy them as reader) I never want him to stop.”

Falconspeare is written and drawn Warwick Johnson-Cadwell with lettering by Clem Robins, and a cover by Mignola and Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart.
