Outerverse Universe co-creators Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden are reuniting with artist Bridgit Connell to return to the celebrated swashbuckling world of Lady Baltimore with an all-new three-issue series, Lady Baltimore: The Constant Death of Dr. Rose. Written by Mignola and Golden, drawn by Connell, colored by Michele Madsen, lettered by Clem Robins, and cover art by Abigail Larson, Lady Baltimore’s most dangerous mission will begin on December 16, 2026 from Dark Horse Comics.
“From the first issue of Baltimore until we don’t tell these stories anymore, this is all one world—one story.” explains Christopher Golden. “To us, Dr. Rose was a courageous ally and stalwart friend to Lord Baltimore, who met a horrifying end. But to the Nazis and the evil witches they’ve teamed up with, Dr. Rose’s terrifying transformation makes for a devastating weapon. Sofia—Lady Baltimore—can’t let her old friend be used that way, no matter what it costs her to put a stop to it.”
Ever since her first appearance in 2021’s Lady Baltimore: The Witch Queens, Sofia Valk Lord Baltimore’s widow and confidant has taken up the Baltimore mantle and continued the supernatural fight against occultists and monsters. Now, following the events of 2025’s Lady Baltimore: The Daughters of Medusa, Lady Baltimore travels to a remote town, rumored to have been ravaged by a terrifying monster. But when she arrives, the ghost of Lord Baltimore warns her that an even more devastating evil has been unleashed. Their old ally, Dr. Rose has been possessed by the living embodiment of the plague.
“In Baltimore, the character arc of Dr. Rose was a fascinating one… from wartime doctor meeting friends in a tavern to book obsessed monster in hiding.” says artist Bridgit Connell. “Being able to illustrate further exploration into his storyline, with Sofia and her kickbutt crew as our guides, was a real treat. It gets pretty ooey, gooey, fun, and freaky!”
Lady Baltimore: The Constant Death of Dr. Rose #1 is due out on December 16, 2026.
