Source Point Press

If you were a fan of the recent hit horror film OBSESSION, we'd like to present MY DEAREST by writer/illustrator .ki to you for a perfect terrifying follow-up! This is not only Natalie's debut published work, but also a first for us in that's it's the first ever horror-manga we've published! Follow the story of Giselle, an average college student who seemingly has her entire life in order, starts to see her seemingly perfect life unravel when a mysterious stalker makes their presence known through relentless and increasingly terrifying displays of adoration. Can Giselle discover who her stalker is and escape their grasp... or, will her sanity escape first? If you're a fan of horror, manga, or both, you'll want to make sure your local comic shop is pre-ordering you this one, as it's one of the darkest and most genuinely unsettling horror comics we've published yet!

We've missed you, Pittsburgh, so we're bringing a full line-up of our creators to this Saturday and Sunday! C'mon out to meet (HOPE), (LEFT TURNS), (RIOT FORCE), (FRANKENSTEIN THE UNCONQUERED), (BUTTS IN SEATS: THE TONY SCHIAVONE STORY) and (KILLER COSPLAY) in Artist Alley Row E! Several of them will also be on a panel Sunday at 1:00 PM as well! Come join the fun and get some great graphic novels to read this summer!

Looking for action? Preorder NIGHT WOLF, SEASONS, and BIG GUNS STUPID REDNECKS from your local comic shop.

Craving some cutting-edge science fiction? PLAN 59 FROM OUTER SPACE will make you laugh, and THE BIOTIC CRISIS will make you squirm!

Want some pulp noir? DIME-STORE DETECTIVE and 5 BULLETS 6 MEN will scratch that itch.

Need more horror? NIGHTMARE WORLD returns to conniving shops with a conplete collection omnibus, and MY DEAREST is our first ever horror Manga!

Also, if you're a creator of graphic novels in the genres of horror, speculative fiction, or pulp who is looking for greater distribution opportunities with a publisher who allows you to maintain all your own rights to your work, check out the SUBMISSION GUIDELINES to see the model we offer and, if it aligns with your vision, send in your work for review!

We remain a fiercely creator-focused publisher of comics with a sharp edge, and whether you're a reader or creator we appreciate you joining us as we head into summer... and beyond!

Here at SOURCE POINT PRESS we are big fans of not only horror comics, but all things horror, which is why we were delighted when invited Writer/Publisher (NIGHTMARE WORLD, RSVP: E.S.P.), Writer/Artist/Chief Creative Officer (HOLLOW BANE -- coming this fall!), and Writer/Artist .ki (MY DEAREST -- our first horror Manga now available for preorder everywhere!) to be part of a virtual panel about horror comics for all alongside superstar horror writer .percy! Whoa! You have to register for the virtual edition of the convention to see this panel, you can use the QR code to do so, and you totally should so you can see this one and all the others, too! Support good horror!

In 2019 Source Point Press Editor-in-Chief Travis McIntire won it. In 2021 Source Point Press Co-Founder Joshua Werner won it. This past weekend, Source Point Press Publisher Dirk Manning won it.

All three of them were friends of Gary Reed and also sat under his learning tree, applying lessons learned from him in how to pay it forward to other comic creators.

Here's the video of the announcement and acceptance speech from Dirk, this year's winner of the 2026 Gary Reed Independent Creator of the Year Award live from Cherry Capital Comic Con. You will see a grown man (and esteemed horror writer) try not to cry... and talk about a good man we still all miss very much and whose legacy we continue to try to honor through Source Point Press. Thank you, Travis. Thank you, Josh. Thank you, Dirk. Thank you, Gary.
