When Does "Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Präludium" (2024) Take Place?

"Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Präludium" is a historical fiction horror comic-book written by Patrick Horvath that released July 25th, 2024. So when is "Präludium" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

1962 AD 


We know this because it clearly depicts Samantha "Sam" Strong's first brush with murder and in "Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees" issue one, which takes place in 1986 AD, she says in a narration textbox, "...and in over twenty years no one has ever been the wiser..." So it must be during or before 1966 AD. 

1,986 - 20 = 1,966. 

More specifically, it also shows Sam traveling in Germany and Sam tells Nigel Albright, "I left for college and spent a few years traveling." in a text balloon also in the first issue of the original series. 

Furthermore, the first panel includes time setting free-floating text that reads: "1962" in huge letters. (And the cover features a photograph of Sam and "AUG 62" has been written on the edge of the photograph.) 

So it is (most likely August) of 1962 AD.
