Devil’s Mint – A New Horror One-Shot from AfterLight Comics

AfterLight Comics is thrilled to announce the launch of Devil’s Mint, a 22-page horror one-shot that dives into the dark, obsessive world of rare currency and the supernatural forces tied to it. Written by Paulie Wenger (u/pauliewenger) and illustrated by Tomás Aira (u/tomas_aira), this standalone story delivers sharp tension, atmospheric dread and a fresh twist on numismatic folklore.

What Is Devil’s Mint About?

Devil’s Mint follows Michael, a seasoned coin grader who takes a last-minute overnight shift at Vance Numismatics, a small appraisal business dealing in rare and valuable currency. What begins as a quiet night alone among collectible coins turns into something far more sinister.

When a mysterious piece of currency arrives—one surrounded by whispered legends and warnings. Michael finds himself pulled into a chilling web of obsession, greed and supernatural danger. As the night wears on, it becomes clear that some treasures should never change hands… and some coins carry a price far beyond their face value.
