Home Sick Pilots #9 CVR A Wijngaard 📕 Unknown Comics

🎸 Punk rock ghosts and haunted houses in 1990s California, through Caspar Wijngaard’s Cover A lens — Home Sick Pilots #9, a chapter in Dan Watters and Caspar Wijngaard’s critically beloved Image Comics horror series that brought the aesthetics of 90s punk rock culture into a genuinely unsettling supernatural narrative. Home Sick Pilots arrived in 2021 as one of the more original horror concepts in mainstream comics: a band called the Home Sick Pilots find themselves haunted by the Old James House, an apparently sentient haunted house that bonds with protagonist Ami, giving her ghostly powers but trapping her in a symbiotic relationship with the structure’s restless spirits. Watters’ scripts are steeped in the specific textures of 90s underground music culture — the zines, the dive venues, the bands that burned bright and fast — and the way that culture intersected with the kind of youthful existential searching that the best horror comics have always explored. Caspar Wijngaard’s art is the series’ visual soul: psychedelic, expressionist, a color palette that manages to feel both authentically 90s and entirely its own thing. Issue #9 Cover A keeps Wijngaard’s vision intact as the series builds toward its climax. 🎸 Home Sick Pilots #9 is the haunting in full swing, through the artist’s most personal visual language.

This is Home Sick Pilots #9 CVR A Wijngaard — Dan Watters and Caspar Wijngaard’s horror series (Image Comics, September 2021).
