The Faceless, co-created by Jeremy Lenzo of Mayday Parade, is a psychological horror graphic novel inspired by the band’s iconic faceless “umbrella man” imagery and music video lore. The story follows Derek Sanders as he begins suffering from recurring sleep paralysis in his new home, repeatedly waking to see a faceless man in a wide-brimmed hat watching him from the hallway. As strange smells, misplaced objects, and eerie red umbrella symbolism begin creeping into his waking life, Derek starts to question whether stress is to blame — or if something far more sinister is unfolding. Desperate for answers, Derek turns to his bandmates and the internet’s folklore surrounding the “Umbrella Man,” but the deeper he digs, the more real the presence feels. When the activity escalates beyond his bedroom and into the daylight, he’s forced to confront the terrifying possibility that whatever is watching him may not be confined to his dreams.
