LOS ANGELES 08/08/2024 — The Eisner Award nominated horror anthology is back and CREEPIER than ever! Today Skybound and Image Comics revealed covers and interior pages from Creepshow Vol. 3 #1, the debut issue of the third volume of the hugely popular comic book anthology based on Greg Nicotero’s hit Shudder TV series produced and licensed by Cartel Entertainment.
Just in time to kick off spooky season, Creepshow Vol. 3 #1 will arrive in comic book shops on September 25, 2024 and will feature a story written by Chip Zdarsky (Batman), drawn and colored by Kagan McLeod (Kaptara), and lettered by Pat Brosseau (I Hate This Place), as well as a story written, drawn, colored, and lettered by James Stokoe (Godzilla).
Brian Witten is overseeing on behalf of Nicotero’s Monster Agency Productions.
In the spirit of all iterations of Creepshow in pop culture, every issue of the Creepshow comic series comes packed with two spine-chilling stories from your favorite creators. Each issue of the five-part anthology will feature different creative teams from the worlds of comics, books, film, television, and beyond. Every uniquely horrifying standalone story is guaranteed to SCARE YOU TO DEATH.
In the debut issue of the third volume, writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Kagan McLeod bring you the terrifying tale of a repressed housewife who decides to take matters into her own hands and rescue her daughter from a local psychedelic cult…but the true terror is not what anyone expects! Then, James Stokoe introduces a chilling mystery of a severed human hand, and the lengths one writer will go to discover the truth, learning that perhaps he is not the author of this story….
