#horror – #horrorcomics – #TheGhostlyDarknessofKanata – #TitanManga – @ComicsTitan – #NoctKoike – #ChikaIshikawa –

A gripping supernatural thriller that blurs the line between reality and the afterlife, where one woman’s obsession with ghosts leads her into a world of terror.

After a heart-stopping encounter with an unearthly apparition, a young woman becomes fixated on the spirits that linger in the shadows. Drawn into a chilling journey to confront the very essence of fear, she steps into a world where the boundary between the living and the dead fades into oblivion.

Written by Noct Koike and brought to life by the haunting artwork of Chika Ishikawa (KOBAN), Ghostly Darkness of Kanata takes you on a nerve-wracking adventure into the unknown. Every page pulses with the tension of everyday moments—suddenly infected with the uncanny, as spirits and phantoms intrude on a world that seems so familiar.

As the heroine delves deeper into the occult, her quest to understand the afterlife soon reveals that terror doesn’t always come from the unknown—it hides in the places we think we know best. The ghosts she seeks might just be the ones chasing her.

In this supernatural thriller, prepare to face your deepest fears, as the lines between life and death, safety and danger, vanish into the darkness. Will she survive the haunting force she’s invited into her life? Or will she become one with the ghosts of Kanata?

Read all three graphic novels based on New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill’s short story “The Cape,” collecting The Cape, The Cape: 1969, and The Cape: Fallen.

Every little boy dreams about putting on a cape and soaring up, up, and away…but what if one day that dream were to come true? Eric was like every other eight-year-old boy, until a tragic accident changed his life forever. The Cape explores the dark side of power, as the adult Eric—a confused and broken man—takes to the skies…and sets out to exact a terrible vengeance on everyone who ever disappointed him.

The Cape: 1969 goes back in time to the Vietnam War when Eric’s father, Captain Chase, a medevac helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army, is shot down over enemy territory. He and his crew are in a fight for their lives as they play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Vietcong…but they soon learn that machine guns and grenades aren’t the only terrors hiding in the jungle.

In The Cape: Fallen, uncover new folds in Hill’s cautionary anti-superhero tale with a story that takes place between the scenes of the original series.

This critically acclaimed, Eisner Award–nominated story—written by Jason Ciaramella based on the short story by New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill, with art by Zach Howard and Nelson Dániel—smashes the classic superhero myth and wraps the bloody wreckage in a bright blue shroud: The Cape.

Writer Michael W. Conrad (Neptune, Nightwing) and acclaimed artist Noah Bailey (Diabolical, Station Grand) have reunited. The creative team behind Comixology Originals/Dark Horse Comics hit graphic novels, Tremor Dose and Double Walker, bring their strange and horrific sensibilities to their new graphic novel; The 99 Legs.

What follows is a blood spattered, spiraling nightmare, as the mystery of the killer’s identity unfolds. The 99 Legs finds its roots in the duo’s shared appreciation of Italian Giallo film genre, complete with its leather clad killers, twisting suspense, and a perfect marriage of the avant garde and low art sensibilities. A must read for fans of the macabre and uncanny tales that Conrad and Bailey have become known for, The 99 Legs promises to be their most disturbing collaboration to date.

EC Comics The New Trend 1950–54 (45th Edition) Available December 9

#horror – #horrorcomics – #ECComics – #Taschen – #GrantGeissman –

In 1947, Bill Gaines inherited EC Comics, a new venture founded by his legendary father M. C. Gaines, who was responsible for midwifing the birth of the comic book as we know it during his tenure at All-American Comics, bringing the likes of Wonder Woman and Green Lantern to the world. Over the next eight years, Bill Gaines and a “who’s who” of the era including Al Feldstein, Harvey Kurtzman, and Wally Wood would reinvent the very notion of the comic book with titles like Tales from the Crypt, Crime SuspenStories, Weird Science, and MAD.

EC delighted in publishing gory, morbid horror and crime comics that had snap, ironic endings—but they also pioneered the first true-to-life war comics, the first “real” science-fiction stories, and a series of tales about such then-taboo subjects as racism, bigotry, vigilantism, drug addiction, police corruption, and anti-Semitism. Too good to last, they were eventually caught up by various 1950s guardians of morality, who were convinced that EC’s often over-the-top content was causing juvenile delinquency. A year or so after a full inquiry investigating horror and crime comics, the incredible EC Comics were no more.

After publishing the full, fascinating story behind this fabled company in XXL size in 2020, TASCHEN now presents in full the story of what is considered to be EC’s prime period, the New Trend, plus the complete covers of that era—including those of Tales from the Crypt and The Haunt of Fear, Weird Science and Weird Fantasy, Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, Panic and MAD. Many of the cover images are reproduced from Gaines File Copies, which are widely regarded as the best surviving copies of the EC Comics.

Also included are interior pages and panels, photos, vintage original artwork, and some of the most celebrated stories ever to be printed in four colors for a dime. In short, this is a must-have for any comics enthusiast or pop culture historian.
