Creepshow, the iconic horror movie that Skybound turned into a comic last year, will return with a second miniseries in September.
Creepshow by director George Romero and writer Stephen King debuted in theaters back in 1982. Inspired by EC Comics’ horror titles like Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror, the film featured a kid reading a comic called Creepshow and a host, “The Creep,” who was reminiscent of the Cryptkeeper and other horror comic hosts.
The first issue of the new miniseries will include a story written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Beck Cloonan, as well as one written and drawn by Phil Hester:
In the debut issue of the second volume, master of the macabre Garth Ennis and superstar creator Becky Cloonan team up for the very first time to deliver a disturbing tale of the unborn. Then, freaky Phil Hester tells the story of a grieving son who bends the laws of nature to see his mother one last time…this can’t end well!
Subsequent issues of the five-issue series will include stories by Michael Walsh, Dan Watters, Abigail Larson, Zoe Thorogood, Joel Farrelly, Nick Dragotta, Alisa Kwitney, Saladin Ahmed, Joe Quinones, Tim Daniel and DB Andry, Matthew Roberts and more.
Cloonan and Skinner will provide variant covers for the first issue:
