Oni and EC Comics’ Epitaphs From the Abyss gets a Library Edition and Limited Slipcase

Posted on by

Oni Press and William M. Gaines Agent, Inc., are celebrating EC Comics’ history-making, headline-grabbing return Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition: Book One – the first in a new line of enhanced hardcovers collecting the entirety of the new EC library at Oni Press and debuting in two eye-popping editions, Oversized, unapologetic, and uncontrollably outrageous, both the standard Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition and the sublime Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition – Limited Slipcase & Portfolio Edition (limited to 1,000 units) will be on sale on July 14th, 2026—just as the new and nightmarish EC Comics horror host the Grave-Digger foretold.

Collecting Epitaphs From the Abyss #1–12 for the first time in a staggeringly deluxe, oversized (7.5″ x 11.5″) hardcover, both editions of Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition: Book One feature tales of depraved intention and traumatic tension in the undying EC tradition by relentless writers including Jason Aaron, Brian Azzarello, Corinna Bechko, Chris Condon, J. Holtham, and Matt Kindt, all realized into bloody reality by “all-slaughter” artists like Charlie Adlard, Tyler Crook, Kano, Klaus Janson, Leomacs, Alison Sampson, and many more. Both editions also feature more than 50 pages of “behind-the-screams” material, including process art, character designs for EC’s newest horror hosts, and a cover gallery for readers to gouge their eye, as well as all-new commentary from cartoonist Jay Stephens and series designer Rian Hughes. 

But that’s not all! Enter: the Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition – Limited Slipcase & Portfolio HC! – will feature an ultra-deluxe, limited-edition version of the Epitaphs From the Abyss hardcover comes packaged with a specially designed portfolio set featuring high-quality, 11” x 7″ cardstock prints featuring gallery-ready reproductions of all 12 covers by comics master Lee Bermejo, and packaged in a masterfully designed, foil-stamped slipcase featuring the work of artist Dustin Weaver and Eisner Award–nominated designer Rian Hughes.

In the history of comics, no one publishes a horror comics cover like EC Comics! Iconic, scandalous, and unforgettable, EC Comics’ historic horror covers are seared into the collective memory of generations. Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition – Limited Slipcase & Portfolio HC is the first-ever portfolio for the new EC Comics titles from Oni Press, featuring Lee Bermejo’s meticulously macabre covers spanning all 12 issues of the first hit series to immortalize EC’s long-awaited return. Having reaped international renown for his collaborations with writer Brian Azzarello on Joker and Batman: Damned, and with writer/screenwriter Mattson Tomlin on the Eisner Award-nominated A Vicious Circle, and countless unforgettable comics series, Bermejo has earned a reputation as one of the industry’s most iconic and formidable artists across a nearly three decade career. 

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 title Epitaphs From the Abyss! 

On July 14th, find out what brought the most notorious name in terror roaring back from the crypt as the Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition: Book One stalks into comic shops and book stores everywhere in two masterfully designed editions that no true fan – or blood-drinking fiend – will want to miss.

The Benjamin #1 Third Printing Variant features a cover by Christian Ward.

BENJAMIN #1 3rd PRINTING COVER BY CHRISTIAN WARD

See what folks are saying about Benjamin #1:

“BENJAMIN is cosmically brilliant. You have never been on a trip like this.” 

— Lev Grossman (The Magicians, The Bright Sword)

“BENJAMIN #1 is a debut that’ll get you coming back for more and one you don’t want to miss.” — GRAPHIC POLICY

“Refreshing . . . Special . . . The dialogue is snappy, with a real humor to it, and the set up is elevated by questions of consciousness. ” — THE BEAT

“A vivid, thought-provoking debut that explores identity, friendship, and sci-fi legacy with a surreal wink and stellar artwork… Leomacs is putting in his best work yet. It’s safe to say comics like this don’t come around very often, and publishers like Oni Press are the scant few who would publish it.”— AIPT

“Buckle in for what is sure to be a one-of-a-kind experience.” 

— NERD INITIATIVE

“Fascinating.”— FANBASE PRESS

 “As close to the label of ‘masterpiece’ as possible . . .” —COMICON.COM

“Ben H. Winters’ words and Leomacs’ art look to be creating a perfect mix of the surreal and the grounded, the mundane and the urgent. Life is unsettlingly fantastic and inscrutable and Benjamin looks to understand that and embrace it unflinchingly.”— FREAK SUGAR.
