If you still haven’t heard somehow, EC Comics has returned from the dead and has been releasing its themed horror and science fiction anthology comics since earlier this year. The line has been so successful that it brought Oni Press back in the top 10 in regards to Comic Store Market sales charts, according to Comic Hub data, and accomplished this by re-establishing the line and not just leaning off the laurels of Tales From The Crypt as a brand.
For those who love the overall Nightmare Before Christmas vibes of mixing horror and the holiday season, SHIVER SUSPENSTORIES #1 will be right up your alley. A 56-pager of shocking shorts, this giant-sized EC one-shot will feature tales of horror, science fiction, and powerfully potent suspense in one joyously wrapped package that may or may not be leaking something strange under the Christmas tree…
Below is an advance peek ahead at “Ghost in the Machine” by Edgar Award-winning writer Ben H. Winters (The Last Policeman) & acclaimed artist Peter Krause (Irredeemable).
Then on December 11th, you can warm yourself with brand-new tales of merry dismemberment from writers Jason Aaron (Absolute Superman), George Northy (The CW’s Charmed), Jay Stephens (Dwellings), Ben H. Winters (CBS’ Tracker), and artists Valeria Burzo (Castle Full of Blackbirds), Kano (Gotham Central), Peter Krause (Irredeemable), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), and Caitlin Yarsky (Black Hammer Reborn) as they set the holiday season alight with EC Comics’ first-ever ode to yuletide destruction.
The comic will also feature covers by artists Darick Robertson (The Boys), Adam Hughes (Wonder Woman), Jay Stephens (Dwellings), and Rian Hughes (Batman: Black and White), as SHIVER SUSPENSTORIES #1 is the only blood-soaked holiday offering that’s guaranteed to add something shocking to your stocking! Plus, as an extra-added holiday bonus, this triple-sized EC melée will feature a newly restored EC classic by comics legend Johnny Craig, direct from the Vault of Horror!
