Praise for Creepshow Volume 1& 2:
“The anthology series pays homage to horror comics of the 1950s and features a murderers’ row of creative talents.’” – Screen Rant
“The Creepshow series of comics have been an opportunity for a variety of creators to indulge in short horror stories with grotesque imagery, shocking twists, and all the other things one loves from reading old EC Comics.” – The Beat
Don’t say we didn’t warn you—the Eisner Award nominated horror anthology is back and CREEPIER than ever! Today Skybound and Image Comics announced a third volume of Creepshow, the hugely popular comic book anthology based on Greg Nicotero’s hit Shudder TV series produced and licensed by Cartel Entertainment.
Creepshow Volume 3 #1, featuring stories by comics talent Chip Zdarsky (Batman), Kagan McLeod (Kaptara), and James Stokoe (Godzilla), will arrive in comic book shops on September 25, 2024.
Brian Witten is overseeing on behalf of Nicotero’s Monster Agency Productions.
In the spirit of all iterations of Creepshow in pop culture, every issue of the Creepshow comic series comes packed with two spine-chilling stories from your favorite creators. Each issue of the five-part anthologywill feature different creative teams from the worlds of comics, books, film, television, and beyond. Every uniquely horrifying standalone story is guaranteed to SCARE YOU TO DEATH.
In the debut issue of the third volume, writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Kagan McLeod bring you the terrifying tale of a repressed housewife who decides to take matters into her own hands and rescue her daughter from a local psychedelic cult…but the true terror is not what anyone expects! Then, James Stokoe introduces a chilling mystery of a severed human hand, and the lengths one writer will go to discover the truth, learning that perhaps he is not the author of this story….
