Leonide The Vampyr Has Come Knocking at the House of Yonda in a Brand New Adventure!

Dark Horse Comics

Legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is teaming up with fan-favourite artist Rachele Aragno (Yuletide, Mel: The Chosen) to return to the world of their critically acclaimed Leonide the Vampyr with a new two-part comics event, subtitled House of Yonda, debuting on March 18, 2026. But for those unfamiliar with when she entered this world, it all started in Miracle at the Crow’s Head #1 (Oct. 5, 2022, Kindle).

She’s discovered after a shipwreck, and little does anyone realise what her arrival truly means. In A Christmas for Crows #1 (Dec. 14, 2022, Kindle), a holiday-tinged horror fable, mountain folk find a ruined carriage and a coffin that leads them into far darker company than expected. Yes — it’s this girl.

What she represents is far more than readers might realise. She’s an omen. A wanderer. A supernatural constant who drifts into places where the world is already turning strange. The mortals around her never fully grasp the rules of the world they inhabit, and this young lady stands somewhere outside it — not quite a Countess of St. Germain, not quite a mythic traveller, but something closer to an axis mundi, a point where worlds intersect.

Her silent presence asks a single, unnerving question of every horror that manifests around her: “Why are you here?”

The silence surrounding her isn’t absence; it’s a signal. Wherever Leonide goes, something ancient from the land is ready to rise. And in this next instalment, readers may finally learn something about her past.

From the Press Release:

Written by Mignola with art by Aragno, colors from Dave Stewart, and letters from Clem Robins, Leonide The Vampyr: The House of Yonda will give readers terrifying new insight into Leonide’s origins and send her on an unpredictable new adventure. Both issues will feature covers by Aragno with issue #1 variant by Mignola and #2 variant by Márk Lászlo.

“I’m madly in love with Leonide and her story,” says Rachele Aragno. “When Mike and I created her, I didn’t believe she could have such a vast world behind her, filled with stories, ancestors, and a gothic castle. I could draw her for hours, guided by Mike’s words, which gives power to everything he does. These two comics will reveal a new backstory for this little vampire that will help us understand and love her even better.”

“Readers loved Leonide in her first two one-shots, and in this two-parter they’ll be pulled into her web even deeper,” adds Dark Horse Comics editor Katii O’Brien. “Mike and Rachele blend horror and fairytale seamlessly, and deliver a story that is as terrifying as it is charming.”
