Beast of Boriken

A socially-charged horror comics series reimagining and thrusting the el Chupacabra cryptid into the real-world struggle over Puerto Rico’s autonomy. Brought to you by James Tynion IV’s Tiny Onion imprint.

A thrilling new TRUE WEIRD series from Tiny Onion by co-creators JULIO ANTA (Frontera; Sí, Se Puede) and DANIEL IRIZARRI (Xino, Cementary Kids Don't Die) bringing el Chupacabra to life!

In contemporary Puerto Rico, Loli Flores is a fierce activist fighting the overdevelopment of the island by outside investors. When a ground-breaking ceremony is violently interrupted by a supernatural force, Loli discovers that the stories of el Chupacabra are not just echoes from the past, but a brutal protector of generations extending back to the indigenous people of the island. As Loli uncovers the horrors firsthand, el Chupacabra is on a parallel path with elemental destruction left in his wake.

Collects The Beast of Boriken issues #1–#5.
