The Silver Coin is a 2021 horror anthology published by Image Comics. Each issue is illustrated by Michael Walsh and written by a different writer. Each issue is a self-contained story, with the connected thread being a cursed silver coin. "The Ticket," written by Chip Zdarsky, takes place in 1978 and is about the rock band Running Red and their lead singer Ryan. The band has been playing at the Dirty Eagle bar for years with little to show for it and now they are being pushed aside for the latest trend in music: disco. But in a box of things that Ryan's mother left behind, he finds a silver coin and when he uses the coin as a guitar pick, something magical happens: the music is better. With the silver coin, Ryan realizes he can make their careers and lives better. But the coin might have other plans. "Girls of Summer," written by Kelly Thompson, takes placce in 1993, about a misfit teen bullied by mean girls at a summer camp. When she encounters the Silver Coin, she decides to reclaim her power. "Death Rattle," written by Ed Brisson, takes place in 1986, where a group of thieves get their hands on the coin by stealing it from an old man who just died of a heart attack. "2467", written by Jeff Lemire, follows a gang of thieves in the cyberpunk future being hunted down by the police drones, leading to one them finding the coin and a mysterious virus. "Covenant", written by Matt Walsh himself, tells the origin of the coin by following Rebekah Goode, a witch in colonial times that is hunted down by the witch hunts. "High Score", is written by Joshua Williamson. "Tzompanco", is written by Ram V. "Rising & Falling in America", is written by Matthew Rosenberg. "The Dancer", is written by Vita Ayala.

Evil Versus Evil: Cotton Dudley, a fanatical yet apparently successful witch hunter, versus Rebekah Goode, a witch who was one bad turn away from unleashing a deadly curse that barely discriminates between its victims. They both lose.

Blood Magic: Ryan doesn't just play the guitar with the coin — he bleeds on it first, which is how it wakes up. Before, it looked like a normal coin, but after being bled on, it looks as if it has an eye in the center of it.

Anachronic Order: Each self-contained story goes backwards and forwards in time between each issue. Because stories don't influence one another, the order of them, both as released and as read, is irrelevant.

Be Careful What You Wish For: The general MO of the coin's curse is to give people what they want before destroying them with it. The initial curse itself is a wish to make someone suffer that went far beyond its caster's intent, and her soul is shown to suffer for it.
