A NEW ERA FOR THE MOST INFAMOUS AND INFLUENTIAL AMERICAN HORROR BRAND OF ALL TIME STARTS HERE IN ONE DEVILISHLY DELUXE HARDCOVER COLLECTION!

After 70 years, EC Comics—the notorious comics publisher that spawned TALES FROM THE CRYPT, WEIRD SCIENCE, MAD magazine, and many more—rises from the grave with its first new series of the twenty-first century! For the first time in one comprehensive collection, join us for a guided tour of the Grave-Digger’s cemetery on the edge of the endless abyss . . . where EVERY TOMBSTONE TELLS A TALE . . . and the quickest way to etch your own is through MALEVOLENCE, MALICE, and MURDER!

In 1955, the Comics Code Authority drove a stake through the depraved heart of EC Comics—the iconic publisher behind Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, and more instantly influential titles that redefined American horror for generations to come.

Now, groundbreaking comics publisher Oni Press has done the unthinkable: Resurrected the immortal spirit of EC Comics for the 21st century with a brand-new slate of wildly bestselling, critically acclaimed, and award-nominated new series . . . beginning with its flagship horror series EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS!

Collecting EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS #1–12 for the first time in a staggeringly deluxe, oversized (7.5 x 11.5″) hardcover, witness these all-new tales of depraved intention and traumatic tension in the undying EC tradition—as wrenched from the grave by relentless writers Jason Aaron (Thor), Brian Azzarello (Joker), Corinna Bechko (Green Lantern: Earth One), Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), J. Holtham (The Horizon Experiment), Matt Kindt (BRZRKR), and more, and realized into bloody reality by “all-slaughter” artists Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz), Kano (Gotham Central), Klaus Janson (The Dark Knight Returns), Leomacs (Benjamin), Alison Sampson (Department of Truth), and more!

Plus: More than 50 pages of “behind-the-screams” material, including process art, character designs for EC’s newest horror hosts, a cover gallery, and more!

IN THIS GRAVEYARD . . . EVERY TOMBSTONE TELLS A TALE! Enter the Grave-Digger’s domain and experience the comics milestone decades in the making as . . . EC COMICS LIVES AGAIN!

Bug Wars Vol. 1 Available October 8

#horror – #horrorcomics – #BugWars – #ImageComics – @ImageComics – #JasonAaron – #MahmudAsrar – #MattWilson –

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids meets Conan The Barbarian in this epic tale of a kid from Alabama suddenly lost in a vicious world beyond his imagining, a world of marauding ant armies, spell-casting spider witches, and beetle-riding barbarians.

The Old Slaymaker House; Neighbors whisper about it. Children dare each other to step foot in its overgrown lawn. Exterminators refuse to visit and shudder at the thought of what multi-limbed monsters may burrow in its earth. For Slade Slaymaker and his brother Sydney, it’s the last remnant of their father, a dedicated entomologist devoured by the very creatures he dedicated his life to understanding. Slade, too young to remember his death, continues his legacy with his own love of all things insect. Sydney, old enough to remember the gruesome scene, despises and seeks to annihilate any bug he sees.

When these two brothers’ opposing obsessions clash, Slade finds himself shrunk to the size of his diminutive subjects and thrust into the middle of a brutal Bug War, an earth-shattering struggle that will decide the fate of his family and, perhaps, uncover the secrets behind his father’s gruesome demise.

From the superstar team of writer JASON AARON (Southern Bastards, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Absolute Superman) and artist MAHMUD ASRAR (Conan the Barbarian, X-Men, Batman VS Robin) comes BUG WARS: BOOK ONE, collecting issues #1-6 of the sprawling new dark fantasy epic.
