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

Posted on by Leave a comment

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!

Self Help, a California noir miniseries with a wicked sense of humor Launches this June from Image

Posted on by

Novelists and writing duo Owen King and Jesse Kellerman team up with artist Marianna Ignazzi, colorist Fabiana Mascolo, and designer/letterer Ian Chagren for the upcoming five-issue comic book miniseries titled, Self Help. This new launch out of the Syzygy line at Image Comics will hit shelves on June 19.

Chagren will also be creating unique popular-crime-fiction-inspired logos and design pages for each issue. Issue #1’s design pays homage to legendary Hollywood noir poster artist, Saul Bass.

A California noir story with a wicked sense of humor, Self Help is a surreal and colorful world populated with two-faced talk-show hosts, cheerful Finnish mobsters, bloodthirsty white supremacists, snide English butlers, and panther-wielding Euro-trash assassins.

In Self Help, readers are introduced to down-on-his-luck rideshare driver Jerry Hauser, whose existence is a bleak one…especially because every fare he picks up tells him how much he looks like ultra-successful self-help guru Darren Hart. But in a twist of fate, Jerry is given the chance of a lifetime…which, if he’s not careful, may well end his lifetime. So begins this rollicking and gleefully lurid pulp crime story.

From there the story races ahead at an ever-increasing speed, and with an ever-increasing body count, as Jerry assumes his rival’s identity, fights to keep a lid on the murder, fends off the Euro-gangsters to whom Darren was heavily indebted, placates Darren’s calculating assistant Cassandra, and rebuilds his relationship with his estranged ex-wife Michelle and daughter Amelia. Oh, and he also needs to avoid the white supremacists that hold Jerry’s personal marker—except to them, he’s Danny McClure—and keep up his Drÿvÿr rating.

Self Help #1

Self Help #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 19:

  • Cover A by Ignazzi – Lunar Code 0424IM224
  • Cover B by Stephen Byrne – Lunar Code 0424IM225
  • Cover C (1:15 copy incentive) by Steven Russell Black – Lunar Code 0424IM226
  • Cover D (1:25 copy incentive) by Ashley Wood – Lunar Code 0424IM227
