Locke & Key features the Locke family based in Lovecraft, Massachusetts, the family possesses magical keys, each granting its user unique, wondrous abilities, such as viewing a person’s thoughts, flight, or transforming into a giant. Published by IDW Publishing, the first issue of Locke & Key: …In Pale Battalions Go… explores the passions and folly of World War I, themes first examined by Sorley and his contemporaries. The poem is surreal and haunting, its second line inspiring the title of writer Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodríguez’s new installment of the acclaimed dark fantasy comic Locke & Key. An untitled sonnet was later found among Sorley’s belongings it was posthumously published and became the poet’s best-known work. On October 13, 1915, in a small French town on the Western Front during the Battle of Loos, a talented poet, 20-year old British captain Charles Sorley, died in combat, shot in the head by a German sniper.
