What’s that lurking in the dark? Who’s that walking up behind you? And why does it sound like death is slowly creeping this way? Why, it’s Creepshow!
Skybound Entertainment has today announced a new star-studded five-issue comic book anthology based on Shudder's hit "Creepshow" TV series!
The comic book is set to advance the worldwide phenomenon that began with George A. Romero and Stephen King’s iconic 1982 film, and has continued with the Greg Nicotero-helmed genre anthology series, which is entering its fourth season on Shudder.
The new comic book will launch on Wednesday, September 21st, 2022 and was brokered by Striker Entertainment.
The official press release explains, "Each issue of the five-part anthology will feature different creative teams from the worlds of comics, film, television, and beyond. Every uniquely horrifying standalone story is guaranteed to SCARE YOU TO DEATH!"
"Creepshow has consistently been one of the best things in horror for the last 40 years, and for Skybound to be able to carry on such a rich horror tradition is an absolute thrill," said Jon Moisan, Editor at Skybound. "We knew a franchise this prolific would require the best talent in the industry, so we assembled a collection of creators that will do the Creepshow name proud. The stories they have planned are going to scare the absolute hell out of people."
The superstar creative roster behind Creepshow includes the talent of Chris Burnham (Die!Die!Die!), Paul Dini ("Batman: The Animated Series"), Steve Langford ("Creepshow" TV series), Josh Malerman ("Creepshow" TV series, Bird Box), David & Maria Lapham (Stray Bullets), Steve Foxe (Razorblades: The Horror Magazine), John McCrea (Hitman), and Kelley Jones (Batman, The Sandman), with many more to be announced. Brian Witten is overseeing on behalf of Nictorero’s Monster Agency Productions.
"Growing up a fan of horror comics and Famous Monsters, I will never forget the thrill of seeing a new issue hit the stands…thumbing through the pages with the anticipation of diving into a dark twisted and outrageous world filled with ghouls, zombies and the classic come-uppence," said Greg Nicotero. "I’m very proud to see Creepshow find its rightful place on comic book shelves everywhere!"
Creepshow #1, with a main cover by Chris Burnham (seen below), will be available at comic book shops and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.
