Nocturnals is a comic book title created by artist Dan Brereton which debuted as a six-part limited series in 1994–1995 under Malibu Comics collectively subtitled as Black Planet.
It follows the supernatural exploits of Doc Horror and his daughter Eve in Pacific City, a fictional California town which seems to have more than its fair share of paranormal activity. The series is noted for its eclectic combination of pulp storytelling, fantastic creatures, moody atmosphere, Halloween style and colorful characters, as well as Brereton's signature painted art style.
The eponymous original limited series ran in 1995 and was published under Malibu Comics' Bravura imprint. This was followed by story that ran in Dark Horse Presents #125–127 (October–November, 1997) that was collected by Dark Horse Comics into a 48-page comic book as The Nocturnals: Witching Hour (May 1998). Moving to Oni Press the next outing was in a giant-sized one-shot "The Nocturnals: Troll Bridge" (October 2000). Still at Oni The Nocturnals: The Dark Forever was a three-issue mini-series that started in 2001 (July 2001 – February 2002). A spin-off mini-series from Oni Press called The Gunwitch: Outskirts of Doom (June–August, 2001). After leaving Oni Press, Image Comics later published The Nocturnals: Carnival of Beasts (July 2008), a prestige format 64-page comic book, published by Image Comics, containing three stories.
"Nocturnals: Legend " was released by BigWowArt (October 2014), a hardcover coffee-table style art book , described as a 20-year " introspective".
" Nocturnals: The Sinister Path" is a new graphic novel currently in production (after being successfully crowd-funded in January 2015 via Kickstarter) and released through BigWowArt in June 2017.
