Creepshow #1 is a sellout and returns for Halloween!

Posted on by

Skybound has announced that Creepshow #1, the debut issue of the five-issue comic book anthology, sold out the same day it hit comic shops. Based on Greg Nicotero’s hit Shudder TV series produced and licensed by Cartel Entertainment, Creepshow #1 will return with a second printing on October 26, 2022 just in time for Halloween.   

Featuring a brand-new second printing variant cover drawn by Gabriel Hardman and colored by Brad Anderson, Creepshow #1 includes two terrifying tales. Writer/artist Chris Burnham scares up a story of trick or treaters who are taught what happens when you mess with the wrong house, and then writers Paul Dini and Stephen Langford team up with artist John McCrea to petrify readers with the party antics of Shingo, the birthday clown with an appetite for more than cake.

The Creepshow #1 (of 5) Second Printing Variant (Diamond Code JUL229791) will be available at comic book shops and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play on Wednesday, October 26, 2022.

Soul Plumber Comes to DC Horror

Posted on by

 Finally, exorcism made easy in DC Horror Presents: Soul Plumber.

From Marcus Parks, Henry Zebrowski, and Ben Kissel, the hosts of “The Last Podcast on the Left,” comes a new six-issue series that dives deep into the sewers of the human soul—also, there are demons.

Edgar Wiggins, a disgraced former seminary student, is desperate to find a way to answer what he believes is his higher calling. He thinks he’s found it in a seminar hosted in a hotel conference room by the Soul Plumbers, who have a machine that could be the secret to delivering souls from Satan. Edgar’s too broke to buy in, but that’s not enough to stop this true devotee: he steals the blueprints and builds a pirated version with what components he can afford on his gas station attendant salary.  Then he goes after a demon, misses… and ends up pulling out something much worse.

With gorgeous art by John McCrea, Soul Plumber is a hilarious, horrifying roller coaster ride for fans of comics, fans of horror, and fans of horror comics. Issue #1 will be available wherever comics are sold on October 5, and digitally on the same day for DC Universe Infinite Subscribers. In keeping with the Comics Code Authority, this one’s not for the kids and has an age rating of 17+. It features a main cover by McCrea, open order variant by Tom Neeley, and 1:25 variant by Riley Rossmo.
