Description
A full set of single issues from the Silent Hill Dead/Alive comic series by Scott Ciencin (Author) and Nick Stakal (Illustrator). Out of all the comics this was the hardest to complete given the scarcity of the Issue 1 Retailer Incentive (1E) comic!
Issue #1
Imagine you are eight years old, undead and pure evil. Your plans to gain ultimate power in the mist-enshrouded haunted town of Silent Hill have left you defeated, a prisoner. Suddenly you are free. But this is what hell really is… because now you are alive and vulnerable – and you have competition. May the deadliest win.

This retailer incentive variant features cover artwork by Loïc Zimmermann and is one of the rarest single issues of any of the Silent Hill comics.
According to Chris Ryall Chief Creative Officer and Editor-in-Chief of IDW Publishing this was “an incentive cover for a series that didn’t have huge orders, so it’s rare in that regard.”
I found how rare it was myself trying to track down a copy! I contacted 100+ comic shops across the world with no luck. Most of the shops either never ordered enough to get an incentive cover from IDW in the first place and those that did only managed to score one and sold it long ago. I’m really grateful to my friends who were able to find a copy and surprised me with it.
Issue #2
Imagine this: You’re a Hollywood leading man. You have wealth, fame, power-and a hole in your heart, a vacuum in your soul. Playing a deadly game of damnation on the mist-enshrouded demon-infested streets of Silent Hill to save the woman you love, you don’t expect the forces of darkness to play fair. So you won’t, either…

Issue #3
Welcome to a festival of horror the likes of which Silent Hill hasn’t seen since the night half the town burned and monsters first stormed the mist-enshrouded streets. There are games to be played. Prizes to be won. Flesh to be destroyed. Trapped within this madness are living dead girl Christabella and haunted Hollywood actor Kenneth Carter. Will they escape? Will they even want to?

Issue #4
(All the covers for this issue have a misprint that says issue 3)
Imagine growing up feeling different, always wondering the truth about yourself… then suddenly learning who your parents are and that one may not have even been human-or alive. Fighting for the lives and souls of those he loves on the mist-enshrouded, demon-plagued streets of Silent Hill, Hollywood actor Kenneth Carter is faced with a decision that may turn him from an icon worshiped by millions to a figure of fear known the world over. Can he survive?

Issue #5
A deadly game draws to a close as the living dead girl Christabella must escape from her greatest enemies and put herself in the path of malevolent beings that are neither angels nor demons, but something worse… if she is to stop them from putting the world to flame and realize her own twisted plans for the monster-laden mist-enshrouded haunted town of Silent Hill.
