Buried Long, Long Ago from Mad Cave Studios is a chilling horror tale rooted in one of America’s darkest true stories. Between 1901 and 1908, Belle Gunness became infamous as the “Butcher of Men,” luring lonely suitors to her remote Indiana farm with promises of love and prosperity—only to brutally murder them for their wealth. Her crimes claimed dozens of victims, and though suspicion grew, Belle evaded justice and vanished, leaving behind a legacy steeped in mystery and blood.
This haunting comic offers a darkly imaginative retelling, blending history with fairy-tale horror. Told through the eyes of Belle’s three children, the narrative reveals not just the terror of living under the shadow of their murderous mother, but also the discovery of a far greater evil lurking beneath the farm. Something ancient. Something unspeakable. Something buried long, long ago.
Written by Anthony Cleveland and brought to life with the atmospheric art of Alex Cormack, this unsettling series reexamines the Gunness legend with a macabre twist. It is both a psychological descent into familial horror and a supernatural exploration of the monsters that live within—and beyond—human cruelty.
