Teenage friends buy a pair of novelty glasses and discover that they got much more than they expected in Specs. The new supernatural horror series from BOOM! Studios is written by David M. Booher (Canto), with art by Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter) and colors by Roman Stevens.

Kenny and Ted, a pair of high school students living in a smalltown in Ohio, just want to fit in. But things get out of hand when their new Magic Specs open a door to a world with wild new possibilities. Though their fun starts innocently, the situation gets out of hand when they wish their bully would disappear and cursed consequences emerge.

“Specs is my most personal story so far. As a gay kid who grew up in the Midwest, I know how it feels not to fit it. Kenny and Ted’s story as outsiders, filtered through the lenses of wish-granting novelty glasses, is my way of reminding that little kid that he’ll find his place in the world,” Booher said.

“A story about a magic item that grants wishes… what could possibly go wrong?” Shehan said. “David Booher, as usual, poured a lot of heart into Specs and bringing that to life has been such a joy for me.”

Specs #1 comes with a main cover by Skylar Patridge (Trial of the Amazons), and variants by Kevin Wada (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter), and David Talaski (Nightwing).

“Specs is ’80s adventure movies, supernatural horror, and small town kids going through some very strange events that will change them and their friendships forever,” BOOM! Studios Editor Elizabeth Brei said. “David and Chris have perfectly captured the chaos of teens caught in a trap of their own making and it’ll be up to you, dear readers, to find out if they manage to escape with their lives or sanity intact.”

The first issue of Specs arrives in comic shops in November 2022.
