Ready to be scared?

It’s the kind of storytelling where familiar characters show up, like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, but nothing stays “storybook” for long. Even the lighter titles, from “Perilous Santa Claus” to “Happy Birthday” and “Christmas Wishes II,” carry that same vibe: something is off, something is waiting, and the ending refuses to behave.

By the time you hit the final panel, you’re not sure if you’re supposed to be laughing, recoiling, or both.

Then “The Nightmare Awakens” and its Sleeping Beauty secrets make it feel personal, like the nightmare is clocking in right alongside you.

Even when the list goes full pop culture with “Glasses” and “Perilous Santa Claus,” the comedy keeps getting interrupted by something sharp, like “Paper Cut People” showing up uninvited.

By the time you reach the chaos of titles like “One Night Stand,” “Uninvited Guest,” and “Coffin,” you realize the unpredictable endings are the whole point.

Ben brings a fresh perspective to horror comics, and his art not only entertains but also challenges viewers to contemplate more profound questions about life and the world around us. As a result, he has gained a devoted following of fans drawn to his distinctive style and thoughtful approach.

You finish Ben Chen’s 30 comics with a grin, then immediately regret trusting the first panel.
