Alexander Variant Cover.

Label #4378630023

Final Order Comics and TelComics Exclusive Cover by Jason Shawn Alexander. Written by Patrick Horvath. Art by Patrick Horvath. Don't. Murder. The locals. This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong's cardinal rule. After all, there's a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you've worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm décor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace. So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook's own meets a grisly, mysterious demise—and you wouldn't blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree. Live, laugh, shed blood. Dexter meets Richard Scarry's Busy Town in writer-artist Patrick Horvaths twisted debut of BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES! 28 pages, full color.
