Unleash the terror with Something Is Killing the Children #42 (2025), a chilling installment in BOOM! Studios’ Eisner-nominated series by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera.

With key appearances, emerging value, and explosive growth potential, this issue is a must for horror fans and investors.
Key Appearances
Issue #42 delves into Erica Slaughter’s past during the “Year Zero” arc, revealing secrets from her early monster-hunting days. A terrifying new creature emerges as the source of a town’s horrors, pushing Erica to her limits alongside Jessica, who’s earning her “teeth” with the Order of St. George. Jessica’s hidden history surfaces, reshaping her view of the House of Slaughter. Cecilia, another key Slaughterverse figure, adds depth to the mythology. This issue’s focus on Erica’s formative years and the Order’s secrets makes it a pivotal chapter.
Current Value
As of June 2025, Something Is Killing the Children #42 (Tyler Boss Glow-in-the-Dark Cover B, first print) in Near Mint (NM) condition ranges from $8–$15 on platforms like eBay and Forbidden Planet, with some pre-sale listings hitting $20 due to the cover’s allure. The glow-in-the-dark feature, a fan-favorite gimmick, drives early demand, as seen with prior SIKTC glow variants like #17. The series’ Netflix adaptation buzz and over two million copies sold fuel its market strength.
Expected Value and Trends
The glow-in-the-dark cover positions #42 for significant growth. The Netflix adaptation, in pre-production with Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, is set to amplify demand, especially for unique variants. Past glow-in-the-dark SIKTC issues, like #17, have appreciated 20–30% within a year, and #42 could follow suit, with NM copies potentially hitting $25–$40 by late 2026. Market trends show 15–20% annual gains for SIKTC first prints, with spikes expected around San Diego Comic-Con 2025 or adaptation updates. The limited print run and Boss’s striking art ensure long-term collectibility.
