Classic UK comic Misty was one of many teen focused titles published by Fleetway, with a specific focus on telling supernatural and horror-tinged stories for girls. UK publisher Rebellion today acquired the rights to Misty and other Fleetway comics of the '70s and '80s, but reprints of Misty were already in the works. Next week sees the release of the first collection, featuring the stories "The Four Faces of Eve" and "Moonchild," and we have a preview of chapter one of "Moonchild."

"Moonchild" was originally published in Misty Annual 1983, and is credited to legendary creators Pat Mills and John Armstrong. It stars Rosemary Black, a young girl who inherits telekinetic powers from her grandmother. Though forbidden from using them, repeated bullying at the hands of a fellow classmate may provide too much of a temptation for Rosemary to get her revenge.

Welcome to my world of mystery and shadows where the unusual is usual…where the unexpected is expected.

MOONCHILD.

Like her grandmother before her, Rosemary Black has discovered that she has the power to move things with her mind. A crescent shape on her forehead marks Rosemary as the Moonchild. While her jealous mother forbids her to use her new found abilities, the actions of a school bully push Ms Black closer and closer towards temptation and revenge.

THE FOUR FACES OF EVE.

Eve Marshall develops amnesia after an accident. Unable to remember anything about her past and haunted by nightmares involving the tragic deaths of three other girls, Eve sets out to discover the chilling truth of who…or what she really is. These eerie encounters are brought to you by Pat Mills, John Armstrong, Malcolm Shaw, Brian Delaney and, of course, your friend, Misty!
