The Silence of the Lambs meets Something is Killing the Children in the supernatural horror thriller, SOMETHING CRAWLED OUT, where the devil you know may be the most terrifying of all.

The Devil wears many disguises – even the face of a friend.

Something wicked crawled out screaming.

In the small Midwest town of Welling Grove, Edith “Eddie” Miller has no grand plans or great prospects. She spends her days sleeping in and her nights working shifts at the local rest stop. But when her younger sister fails to come home, Eddie unearths a web of missing girls and rotting bodies. The police prove useless, so Eddie teams up with her best friend, Rainer, in a desperate hunt to find her sister. The only thing is…Eddie believes her best friend might be the Devil himself.

SOMETHING CRAWLED OUT is a darkly disturbing tale of desire and brutality, desperation and devastation, and family.

Pulp horror classics from the 1950s! Revenge, ghosts, locked rooms and killer ants, taken from early Marvel Comics series Men’s Adventures and Amazing Detective Cases.

The 1950s boom in horror comics saw Atlas Comics’ entrée into the genre. Beginning in March 1952, Amazing Detective Cases began detailing cases where justice was served in supernatural fashion and beginning in May 1953, the adventures in Men’s Adventures were taken over by ghosts, murderous revenge, and psychological terror. The cream of Atlas’ artistic line-up ― including recent EC stars and future Marvel staples – rose to the grisly challenge of the horror genre. Each issue is crammed with four condensed tales of creeping dread, ironic comeuppance, or startling twists, all from a different artist or team. Among the short, sharp shocks included in this volume are the mini masterpieces “The Eerie Escape” by B. Krigstein, “The Torture Master!” by Russ Heath, The Drowning Witch” by Reed Crandall and “The 3rd Corpse” by Bill Everett. Stories by Gene Colan, John Romita, Joe Sinnott, Dick Ayers, Jim Mooney, Paul Reinman and George Tuska, all of whom remained through the shift to Marvel Comics, additionally fill out these issues, along with Atlas regulars Fred Kida, Mort Lawrence, Mike Sekowsky and Myron Fass. Notably included is the first appearance of “Gorilla Man” by Robert Q. Sale, a character brought back in Marvel’s contemporary Agents of Atlas series, and part of their ongoing continuity.

Collecting Amazing Detective Cases #11-14 and Men’s Adventures #21-26, Shiver As You Read! is a perfect companion to Adventures Into Terror, Venus, and the other titles of the Atlas Comics Library.

Full-color illustrations throughout

Meat Eaters Available July 8

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #MeatEaters – #MeredithMcClaren –

By: Meredith McClaren

From cartoonist Meredith McClaren (co-creator of the acclaimed series Black Cloak) comes a punishing and poignant original graphic novel about the monsters that lurk both in the darkness beyond—and within us all . . .

Let it be said that dying is hard. Nineteen-year-old Ashley Moore found this out the hard way.

All Ashley wanted was to keep her head down and work hard until she could escape the small town where she felt she was stagnating. But after waking up one night covered in blood—and irrevocably dead—Ashley finds her foolproof plan for getting out has gone up in smoke, and something within her has changed.

Without a heartbeat and with a disturbing craving for fresh—preferably bloody—meat, Ashley finds herself privy to a world that exists just beneath our own: a world of ghouls and monsters and things that go bump-in-the-night. Despite her desire to be left alone—and to not think about the night of her death at all—Ashley is slowly drawn into the realm of the unusual, getting advice from ancient vampires, dodging angry pack leaders, and becoming the reluctant big sister to werewolves Motley and Harrison. As she does, she finds it increasingly difficult to put away the parts of herself she wishes to ignore—namely, what happened that fateful night she stopped breathing. The truth, it turns out, can’t stay buried forever.

In this visceral story about the effects of trauma and anxiety, dying is indeed hard. But getting on with it? That can be worse.

Collected together for the first time, all three volumes of the irreverent, no-holds-barred graphic novel about an STI that grants superpowers at a cost of only 6 months to live…

Death Sentence is an adult story featuring swearing, drug-taking, sex, violence and it’s blackly funny too. Snort your coffee across the room funny!

SEX, SUPERPOWERS AND SIX MONTHS TO LIVE!

Verity: frustrated artist. Weasel: struggling guitarist. Monty: rogue media icon. Three people infected with the G+ virus, which grants them incredible powers – but will kill them in six months! Will they fade away – or go out in a blaze of glory? From the streets of London to the North Atlantic, from muses lost to futures thrown away – Death Sentence is the jaw-dropping next step in superpowered storytelling! Funny, fearless and frightening, this collection of the hit series is an unforgettable comics debut.

More than any other series Death Sentence predicted the world we now live in, one of the reasons it was named Dreamcage Comic of the Decade (beating Umbrella Academy into second place). Work is underway to turn the comic into a major TV series, but nothing beats the magic of reading the original comics first.

This incredible collection sees all three graphic novels brought together for the first time in marvellous mayhem!
