Cry for Dawn was a 9-issue
horror anthology comic book. The book was primarily written by
Joseph Michael Linsner and
Joseph Monks with artwork by
Joseph Michael Linsner.
[1] The series featured
guest artist and writers in some issues, but the work was largely performed by Linsner and
Monks. It was published by Cry for Dawn Productions from 1989–1992 and is famous for introducing the character of Dawn, the goddess of birth and
rebirth.
Although Dawn served as an emcee in the Cry for Dawn issues, she would
later have many titles dedicated to her journeys through heaven and hell
across multiple
spin-off titles for
Sirius Entertainment,
Image Comics, and
Linsner.com.
Cry for Dawn was a mature-readers-only title that hit during the peak of the 90's
independent comic rise. Due to the artwork by
Linsner
and the cutting-edge subject matter that the series dealt with, the
titled developed a cult following that has continued in the decades
following the publication.
