DARK HORSE COMICS COLLECTS IOLANDA ZANFARDINO AND ELISA ROMBOLI’S “YOU NEVER HEARD OF ME”

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (Month XX, 2025)— Comic creators Iolanda Zanfardino (A Thing Called Truth, Midnight Radio) and Elisa Romboli (The Least We Can Do, Alice in Leatherland) bring their unique sense of drama, life, and the power of curses to Dark Horse Comics with their current series, You Never Heard of Me. The collected graphic novel of this five-issue series will arrive Fall 2025.

In You’ve Never Heard of Me:

A magical ability passes down through high schooler Will’s family—they can see visions of the best and worst moments in a person’s life with just a touch. But for Will, it’s brought nothing but trouble. After inheriting the gift, Will swears he’ll stay out of people’s business. But when the opportunity to save a classmate’s life presents itself, can he really just walk away?

Here’s what critics are saying about You’ve Never Heard of Me:

“A joy to read.”—Comics Beat

“Zanfardino and Romboli have once again created an engaging and empathetic tale full of wonder and heart. “—Lotusland Comics

“Compassion is not a curse, and You Never Heard of Me emboldens readers to trust the inner voice of justice and enact courageous empathy in their panel-less lives.” —Counseling & Comics

“When you’re talking about creative teams whose names will immediately draw me to a book, Romboli and Zanfardino are right at the top of the list, and this looks set to be another cracking new series in the making. A fascinating blend of moral dilemma, coming-of-age drama and magical fantasy. Well worth a look.”—Big Comic Page

“Iolanda Zanfardino’s storytelling keeps pace with the energetic artwork, delivering a rich teen fantasy filled with magic, lore, and family drama.”—Abstract AF

“You Never Heard of Me is for all the sensitive, quiet kids who had more active roles in life, their family, or workplace thrust upon them by a society that treasures being outgoing and charismatic above all.”—Graphic Policy

“You Never Heard of Me is a magnetic and visually stunning debut that captivates readers within the first few pages.”—Pages and Panel

“You Never Heard of Me #1 is an engaging issue about a teenager growing up. Upcoming issues promise a story involving the supernatural. But what is most enticing is how Will develops and what he will do in the face of a suddenly changed life.”—Comic Watch

“Zanfardino takes the magical and makes it relatable. The idea of having foresight could have been a part of a crazy fantastical world but this world feels lived in. From flip phones to grunge style it is not a world too far removed from our own. Will feels like someone that I could have gone to high school with.”—Comic Book Yeti

“The last page provides a cliffhanger that is rewarding in its suspense. You’ve Never Heard of Me #1 presents the readers with a bright eye-catching but also complex narrative which gracefully touches upon the issues of power, its consequences on responsibility and how families interact with each other. The first issue can only be described as setting a high benchmark; to the excitement of the readers, there is more to come.”—Comic Crusaders

You Never Heard of Me collects issues #1-5 in a 112-page (6.625” x 10.1875”) paperback volume, arriving in bookstores and comic shops on October 21and 22, 2025, for $19.99.
