Frank Miller Joins the Blind Bag Frenzy for Something Is Killing the Children #50

BOOM! Studios' blind bag promotion for Something Is Killing the Children #50 just got a heavyweight addition: Frank Miller has contributed exclusive cover art that will only be found inside the $14.99 blind bags, releasing October 7.

Miller's covers come in three tiers of scarcity — a full-art version at 1:50 odds, a variation at 1:67, and a foil-stamped edition at 1:100 — putting him alongside a roster that includes Cliff Chiang, Jamie McKelvie, Babs Tarr, and others, plus one-of-one sketch covers from co-creator Werther Dell'Edera and ultra-rare glow-in-the-dark pulls at 1:500.

The blind bag format has become a go-to milestone-issue play for BOOM!, and it's clearly working here — the promotion has already pulled in more than 250,000 pre-orders ahead of release, making #50 one of the publisher's biggest orders in recent memory.
