EC Epitaphs from the Abyss Vol. 1 cover

THE MOST NOTORIOUS NAME IN TERROR IS BACK—WITH A VENGEANCE!

From the publisher that drove Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, and many more into the depraved hearts of an unsuspecting world, the immortal EC COMICS returns with its first ALL-NEW series in nearly 70 years!

In our seminal first collection of Epitaphs From the Abyss, witness shocking tales of torment and tension in the immortal EC tradition—as wrenched from the grave by the vile intentions of acclaimed writers Brian Azzarello (Batman: Damned, 100 Bullets), Jason Aaron (Scalped, Thor: God of Thunder, TMNT), Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, Night People), J. Holtham (Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale), and Stephanie Phillips (Harley Quinn, Grim), and realized into bloody reality by "all-slaughter" artists Jorge Fornes (Rorschach, Danger Street), Phil Hester (Family Tree), Peter Krause (Irredeemable), Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), Klaus Janson (The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil) and many more!

What the Comics Code Authority couldn't kill has only made it stronger . . . EC COMICS LIVES AGAIN IN EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS!

Collecting Epitaphs from the Abyss #1–4.

“Now, like the ghosts and zombies who haunted many of its pages, EC is back from the beyond [...] with the same radical spirit as their predecessors.” * LA Review of Books *
“Triumphant.” * Screenrant *
“Horrifying.” * IGN *
“Exciting.” * Geek Vibes Nation *
"A haunting story."

 

  * Games Radar *
“There’s something about those old EC Comics that just hits different, and Epitaphs faithfully slips back into that vibe to deliver spooky new stories that have a classic feel.”

 

  * Engadget *
“There’s plenty to be disturbed by…Blood, gore, and the unease rising in your belly are all in Epitaphs from the Abyss.”

 

  * AIPT Comics *
The comic disrupts the modern comic book aesthetic, creating a scream back to a time when comics had the power to truly shock and outrage…Epitaphs is a collection of stories, linked via a storyteller of supernatural appearance, with each twisted tale featuring a protagonist who is far from heroic, and just deserts are meted out on a golden platter. There’s no hope here, no-one to come to your rescue, and brutal justice is the closest you will get to a happy ending. Let’s face it, it is exactly what you have come looking for.”   * Monkeys Fighting Robots (5 out of 5 stars)  *
“It’s hard imagining a higher quality modern continuation of EC’s horror brand. For those who’ve explored the superb foundational Crypts and Vaults and who want new catacombs plumbing 21st Century themes of the supernatural, let Epitaphs from the Abyss and the Grave-Digger be your guide.” 

 

  * Comics Beat *
“Truly terrifying…. EC Epitaphs From the Abyss delivers everything you’d expect from classic EC Comics.”
