King of Star Wars horror, Cavan Scott, is to write a new horror mini-series for Dark Horse Comics, titled Tales From the Nightlands as revealed exclusively by Fangoria. Due out September 3, 2025, issue 1 will be illustrated by Soo Lee, while Francesco Francavilla provides the cover art.
Every culture has their own version of the Boogeyman — just look at the recent Stephen King film of the same name. And apparently, that sentiment extends to a galaxy far, far away, as FANGORIA is excited to partner with Dark Horse Comics and Lucasfilm Publishing to announce their brand new comic series Star Wars: Tales From the Nightlands, a three-issue run that brings to life The Nightlander, a terrifying entity that will face off against three generations of beloved Star Wars characters.
The Halloween special is written by Cavan Scott, with Bram Stoker Award-winning artist Soo Lee illustrating issue #1, and Vincenzo Riccardi taking over for issue #2, and Robert Hack for issue #3. With cover art by Francesco Francavilla, Tales From the Nightlands’ full description is as follows:
On the planet Ryloth, Twi’leks speak in hushed tones about the Nightlands, the spectral realm where their spirits retire after death. According to legend, there are certain nights when the veil between that haunted place and the land of the living is so thin that one can communicate with the other side. Enter: The Nightlander, a Star Wars boogeyman who seeks to possess a powerful, living host and bring despair to the galaxy!
Each issue features one of three generations of galactic heroes facing off against the malevolent Nightlander. Issue #1 sees young Padawan Anakin Skywalker visiting Ryloth with Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, attempting to summon the ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn for a final goodbye. But when Anakin makes contact with the Nightlands, it isn’t his old friend who answers! Issue #2 features Luke & Leia facing this horror, and Issue #3 pits Rey & Finn against a dark power unlike any in the galaxy.
