Publication history

Harrow County

Harrow County began as a serialized prose story called Countless Haints, written by Cullen Bunn and released on his website.[1] Countless Haints ran for ten chapters before it was retired. Later the story was repurposed as an ongoing comic with artist and co-creator Tyler Crook. The main character Madrigal was renamed Emmy, the time period was shifted from present day to the 1930s, and the location was changed from Ahmen's Landing to Harrow County.

When Bunn began working on the series, he wrote the first two arcs so that they told a fairly complete story, though he hoped Harrow County would be popular enough to become an ongoing series. Crook chose to do the book in watercolors to get away from the computer and to make the project more fun for himself. As part of the promotional material for the comic, he created a special ordering form and made process videos showcasing his watercolors.[2] He even wrote music for the first two arcs.[3]

During Harrow County’s run, Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook regularly shared their process in a column called The Harrow County Observer,[4] Tyler Crook's YouTube channel,[5] and in the extensive sketchbook sections of the trade paperback collections.

Harrow County issues

Tales of Harrow County

Most issues of Harrow County include Tales of Harrow County backup stories. This extra material was not collected in the trade paperback editions, but they were collected in the hardcover library editions after the series was complete.[41] The one-page story "Lovelorn" (story by Cullen Bunn, art by Tyler Crook) was accidentally left out of Harrow County #31, so Dark Horse Comics debuted it as a free online comic.[42]

Tales from Harrow County

On September 10, 2019, Dark Horse Comics announced the spinoff series Tales from Harrow County (not to be confused with the Tales of Harrow County short stories). The series was initially announced as a way to tell stories with different main characters from many different time periods of Harrow County. Misfit City artist Naomi Franquiz drew the first miniseries, Death's Choir, with Bernice as the protagonist.[43] Emily Schnall later joined the Tales from Harrow County team for the second arc.[44]

Four months after each arc of Harrow County wrapped up, it was collected in trade paperback.

Library editions

After Harrow County finished, Dark Horse Comics announced that the series would be recollected in library editions. These hardcover volumes print the comics at a larger size and collect all the special features from both the original issues and the trade paperback collections.

Omnibus editions

In 2020, Harrow County was recollected in paperback omnibus editions. These editions do not include any special material.
