We reached out to the creator of the series to learn more about their work. The artist shared the inspirations behind their horror comics: “Being a longtime fan of Japanese mystery and horror novels, I’ve always been fascinated by their unique approach to horror. Unlike conventional horror, Japanese stories often focus on intricate details, which I found compelling. I wanted to incorporate this style into my work, blending it with twist endings reminiscent of mystery tales to deliver unexpected shocks. This concept became the foundation of Silent Horror.”
The DarkBox Comics author also told us: “I’m not a particularly serious person, so I infused the story with humor and quirky details. My goal was to craft something different from mainstream horror—a lighthearted kind of horror.”

When asked how his work has evolved since the beginning of the series, the artist explained: “Initially, Silent Horror was in black and white simply because I wasn’t yet skilled with digital coloring. Later, I experimented with adding color.”
According to the illustrator, DarkBox Comics has always received strong reactions from its audience: “When I first posted Silent Horror on Facebook in December 2014, the response was overwhelming—an unforgettable moment in my life. The instant engagement left me stunned.”

“The following year, the comic was picked up by Tapas, a U.S.-based webcomic platform. Readers there loved it, and viewership skyrocketed. For the first time, I felt the true power of my work—a deeply moving realization. Even now, although the comic is on hiatus, its views on Tapas continue to climb, surpassing 110 million. In 2015, I shared it on China’s Weibo, where it quickly grew a massive following. To date, Silent Horror has over 1.1 million subscribers on Weibo, while its YouTube channel boasts more than 1.95 million.”
“In 2019, the rights to Silent Horror were acquired by Singapore’s Vivid Three, and the comic was serialized on the Comic Vid app before eventually going on hiatus.”

Lastly, the artist shared: “For ten years, Silent Horror was my life—I never stopped creating it. But by 2025, the story finally reached its conclusion. Now that I’m no longer drawing it, I feel like I’ve lost a close friend—one who’s near yet distant. Still, this decade-long journey has been incredible.”
