Skybound reveals the Creepshow #3 creative team, stories and covers!

Skybound has announced the all-star creative teams and stories behind Creepshow #3, the upcoming issue of the hugely anticipated five-issue comic book anthology based on Greg Nicotero’s hit Shudder TV series produced and licensed by Cartel Entertainment. Creepshow #3 will arrive in comic book shops on November 23, 2022.   

In the spirit of all iterations of Creepshow in pop culture, each issue of the Creepshow comic anthology series comes packed with two spine-chilling stories.  

First, Francesco Francavilla and L Marlow Francavilla welcome you to a barbershop where the locals share tales of their greatest kills, and the hunters can just as easily become prey. 

Then, Ariela Kristantina and Jorge Corona journey to a temple hidden within an island paradise, where many visit, but not everyone leaves.  

In addition to the main cover by Chris Burnham, Creepshow #3 comes with an impressive lineup of variant covers, including a cover by Francesco Francavilla and a 1:10 incentive cover by Vance Kelly.  

Creepshow #3 (of 5) will be available at comic book shops and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play on Wednesday, November 23, 2022.

Critically acclaimed journalist & opinion writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle (Dead Blonds and Bad Mothers), breakout artist A.L. Kaplan, and colorist Fabiana Mascolo (Firefly: Brand New ‘Verse) weave a provocative horror story of sisterly bonds, deep trauma, and the dormant monsters buried within us, perfect for readers of Redlands and Something is Killing the Children!

Marion Angela Weber hopes to gain some perspective and empowerment at a feminist retreat with her sister Wendy on the remote island of Angitia – some perspective that isn’t at the bottom of a bottle for once.

But after an assault on her first night on the island, everything goes horribly wrong. The violent encounter awakens something monstrous in Marion, triggering warped mutations in her body, and bringing forth a hunger she can’t bring herself to name…

If we’re going to go down that route, then may I remind you that if it wasn’t for me, nobody would have heard of… [Message truncated once again, with apologies, at the request of Vault Comics].
