Scarenthood: Irish comic creator draws on his own experience as a parent
A frame from Scarenthood, by Nick Roche.
Nick Roche says his new comic has been described as The Goonies meets Stranger Things. While the latter reference point is the more accurate of the two, Scarenthood presents a world where it’s the adults who take on the kids’ roles as they band together to solve a supernatural mystery.
Having first appeared at the end of last year and the beginning of this as a four-part comic, Scarenthood now gets the collected 'graphic novel' treatment, and what clearly comes through is that the writer and artist is a parent.
