COMICS WARLOCKS

Teddy bears are supposed to be cute, cuddly protectors… but what happens when you abandon them?

Teddy Scares #1 & #2
Publisher: Dren Productions

Release date: June 25, 2025

Teddy Scares, a new horror series from Dren Productions, asks that very question. Written by Jim Hankins and illustrated by Amir Malio, the series launches this June with a gruesome, twisted take on childhood innocence gone horribly wrong.

These aren’t just any forgotten toys. These are zombie teddy bears crawling out of the garbage dump, desperate for the love they once had. And they’re willing to tear through anything (or anyone) to get it! We can expect a collection of creepy, chaotic tales that’ll make us think twice about tossing our old toys.

We’re excited for this one because it taps into the exact kind of horror we love: ridiculous, creative, and just the right amount of disturbing. Dren Productions has already delivered unforgettable titles like Flesh-Eating Cheerleaders from Outer Space, an all-time fave for us, so we trust them in delivering great comic books!

Plus, killer toys? Always a win. Can’t wait to see what havoc these stuffed nightmares unleash. And we’re lucky to get two issues out on the same day! June 25 can’t come fast enough!
