The Boogeyman star David Dastmalchian on his horror comic Count Crowley
Out For The Count

YOU'LL DEFINITELY HAVE SEEN DAVID Dastmalchian on screen over the last few years. After a breakout role as one of the Joker's thugs in The Dark Knight, the actor has appeared in a string of high-profile projects. He played Polka Dot Man in The Suicide Squad, Piter de Vries in Dune, and is set to star in upcoming Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman.

What you might not know is that he's also a comics author. He launched his first book Count Crowley: Reluctant Monster Hunter in 2019, with artist Lukas Ketner. A second run of the title's blackly comic adventures has recently been collected in trade paperback.

"In 1983 Jerri Bartman was on her way to being a star of news coverage," Dastmalchian explains, discussing the series' acerbic protagonist. "She had a position at a news desk in Cleveland and was on her way to great things, but no one took her seriously when she was assaulted by the main news anchor. Her career is ruined and so she finds herself back in her small hometown in Missouri, drinking herself to death."
