Superstar Creator Dustin Weaver Reveals the Tormentor’s Twisted Origin in Catacomb of Torment #11

Posted on by

DISCOVER THE TANTALIZING, TERRIFYING TRUTH ABOUT THE TORMENTOR! Oni Press and William M. Gaines Agent, Inc. are proud to announce that the strange and sordid secret origin of the horror host known as The Tormentor will finally be revealed in all-new story by acclaimed writer/artist Dustin Weaver in EC Comics’ Catacomb of Torment #11 – on sale May 20th!

EC’s very own Mistress of Malice, the Tormentor, finally takes center stage to reveal her hopes (“to see your bone marrow!”), dreams (“slathering you in scalding oil!”), and aspirations (“finding excruciating new ways of using the ball peen hammer!”) in this VERY SPECIAL and EXTRA BLOODY tale of who she is and how she came to be! The issue “marks” the first time that EC Comics and Oni Press have divulged the bloody backstory of one of the three new EC horror hosts – The Grave-Digger, The Tormentor, and The Grim Inquisitor – with a tale both written and drawn by modern EC Comics master Dustin Weaver, who designed and co-created EC’s all-new masters of menace. The revelation of the Tormentor’s untold origin continues a frightening EC Comics tradition; the Crypt-Keeper’s origin was revealed in EC publisher and co-editor Bill Gaines, Al Feldstein and Jack Davis’s “Lower Berth” in Tales from the Crypt #33, and the Old Witch’s origin was revealed in “A Little Stranger” in The Haunt of Fear #14, written by Al Feldstein with art by Graham Ingels. 

In addition to this “all-scar” celebration of Her Royal Majesty of Pain, EC Catacomb of Torment #11 features more new tortuous tales from the depths of the Tormentor’s catacomb including “Type M for Murder,” written by Matt Bors and drawn by Fabiana Mascolo, and “Every Cut a Lie,” from writer Liam Johnson and artist Arjuna Susini. 

Don’t miss our most devilish ish yet—or The Tormentor will leave you for last! Catch the bizarre birth of the Catacomb’s very own hostess of horror in Catacomb of Torment #11, on sale May 20th and featuring cadaverous covers from Dustin Weaver, Jorge Fornés, Shawn McManus, and Patricia Martín!

The Mammoth

Something is wrong in the deep forests of Broke Tree Valley. Something deadly. Something mammoth. The legends speak of something larger than human comprehension…A monstrous phantom that disappears for decades at a time. Now, it’s back, and things are about to go Very Bad if four people-Olivia, Jess, Kokoro, and Mason, scientists who have come to the small city of Kasbro to investigate a bizarre series of seismic activities in this heavily forested valley-can’t put the Mammoth to rest. One real problem with this is… Olivia’s dead.

(W) Paul Tobin (A/C/CA/L) Arjuna Susini

Leaving the House of the Zombie behind, with the screams still echoing in the night, Jess and her undead girlfriend Olivia, along with Kokoro and Mason, speed through the forest on a path straight to the Mammoth, and the hardest decision Jess will ever face: stand up to the mammoth ghost of a creature that died eons before humanity ever walked this earth, or say goodbye to the woman she loves.

Trapped in a basement with Sheriff Hirly Maple’s raving zombie of a boyfriend, Jess—along with her undead girlfriend Olivia, and her very much still living friends Mason and Kokoro—learn about the hidden supernatural history of Broke Tree Valley and the Mammoth. Unfortunately, none of this newfound knowledge will help if they can’t put a stop to the sheriff’s sinister plan. Olivia seems to know the path to the Mammoth…but does she know a way out of this one?

Faced with a lake of the dead and memories of her mother, Jess isn’t sure which she wants to escape more. A desperate drive through the endless forest solves one of them for Jess and the others, but the eerie Broke Tree Valley isn’t going to let them off that easily, because although Olivia seems to know the way, that path leads not only straight to the very real problem of some felons with guns but a supernatural entity, the titanic ghost in the forest known as the Mammoth.

Road trip with a dead friend! Olivia is dead. But Olivia is back. And she wants to go somewhere? But… where? In the vast forest of Broke Tree Valley, something supernatural is waiting. Something monstrous. Something mammoth. Only a car full of fools would drive into the fog and mystery of those deep dark forests, or toward the deeper darker lake, but that’s just what Jess and the others are doing, only to find that the eerie secrets at the bottom of the waters are about to surface.
