Unlocking the key secrets of 'Locke and Key' through the comic books

Netflix’s latest hit series, 'Locke & Key', started out as a horror comic book that deserves to be read before you watch the show.

Sometimes, the book really is better. Netflix’s latest hit show, Locke & Key, is based on a horror comic series written by Joe Hill with art by Gabriel Rodriguez, which made its debut in 2008 under IDW.

The initial six issues of the series proved to be popular enough to subsequently spawn five more limited series, all of which have been collected in six graphic novels, titled Locke & Key, Locke & Key: Head Space, Locke & Key: Crown Of Shadows, Locke & Key: Keys To The Kingdom, Locke & Key: Clockwork, and Locke & Key: Alpha & Omega. There have been several one-shots as well, and it was recently announced that Locke & Key will be crossing over with DC Comics’ Sandman Universe in the near future.
