Dive deeper into the world of Something is Killing the Children in this first story arc by co-creator James Tynion IV (The Department of Truth, The Nice House on the Lake) and co-writer Tate Brombal (Barbalien), with art by rising star Chris Shehan (The Autumnal) and co-creator Werther Dell'Edera (Razorblades).
House of Slaughter #1 was written by written by James Tynion IV and Tate Brombal (set in the same world as Something is Killing the Children), with interior art by Chris Shehan, colors by Miquel Muerto, and letters by Andworld Design. The variants featured on this page are all high ratio retailer incentive variants (note that the issue had a seriously large number of variants, these are just a small sample of the pricier editions).
At the time of writing, in mid-December 2021, the CGC census had the following for the four retailer incentive variants featured here:
- Frison Variant: 36 recorded gradings, with 35 in the top grade of 9.8 (near mint / mint)
- Frison Foil Edition: 30 recorded gradings, with 30 in the top grade of 9.8
- Del Mundo Variant: sixteen recorded gradings, with fifteen in the top grade of 9.8
- Dell'Otto Variant: one recorded grading with a grade of 9.8
At that same time of writing, the CBCS Population Reports recorded the following for the same variants:
- Frison Variant: no recorded gradings
- Frison Foil Edition: two recorded gradings, with one in the top grade of 9.9 (near mint minus)
- Del Mundo Variant: two recorded gradings, both in the top grade of 9.8 (near mint / mint)
- Dell'Otto Variant: one recorded grading with a grade of 9.8
It is early days for both CGC and CBCS slabbed copies so the figures above are likely to increase in the next few months and prices should also start to stabilize so we'll certainly keep an eye on these.
