Graffiti

In contrast to the voluminous memos found throughout the Silent Hill games, the comics employ extensive graffiti. Unlike the memos found in the games, the graffiti is simply used to build atmosphere, though it will occasionally lend itself to enhancing plot.

Dying Inside
The inaugural issue of IDW's Silent Hill series, Dying Inside features graffiti most often pertaining to God.

Issue 1

 * Pg. 04 - As Lynn DeAngelis is backed against a wall by Christabella LaRoache and her monsters, the message "God lives in us all " can be seen behind her.
