The 64-page quarterly anthology brings together Brian Hurtt, David Lapham, Ella Kindt and Alison Sampson for three self-contained stories.

Matt Kindt’s Flux House imprint is adding to its line-up this fall, with the addition of a quarterly anthology titled Flux House Presents.

The 64-page debut issue, coming from Oni Press, features three stories: the double-sized first chapter of “Spark,” a two-parter about a young woman and her hunter-gatherer community fighting to survive a harsh change of seasons; “Room 101,” a Kindt/David Lapham collaboration about a derelict motel room that opens onto doorways across time and space; and a new tale spun out of Kindt and Brian Hurtt’s Fort Psycho. The anthology’s contributors also include Alison Sampson and Ella Kindt makes her interior art coloring debut on the issue, alongside artist .

“I really miss the weird anthology. From the classic DHP to the one-man show of Eightball, Negative Burn and Taboo,” Kindt said. “I want to channel that weird unexpected fun on every page with pulp and horror and sci-fi. I want to bring back short form comics — where even a 2-page story can change your life. And give creators a chance to play and experiment.”

EC Comics draws down on the Western genre in ‘Outlaw Showdown’

Oni Press will publish the one-shot anthology in October.

John Arcudi, Brian Azzarello, David Lapham, Tony Moore, Ann Nocenti, David Lapham and more will saddle up for Outlaw Showdown, a one-shot anthology coming in October from EC Comics and Oni Press.

While the Western genre may not be the first to come to mind when you think of classic EC Comics, the notorious publisher did release several titles featuring cowboys and outlaws.

“Ever since we first began drawing up plans for the return of EC Comics at Oni Press, we knew there were genres and stories that would fit EC like a glove – and westerns were always close to the top of that list,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson. “It’s no secret that classic Golden Age series like Gunfighter and Saddle Justice have always been integral – if somewhat under-considered – components of EC’s destructive DNA. But, with Outlaw Showdown – and the other forthcoming genre specials that will follow in its wake – we’re aiming to enhance and amplify the combustible combination of ingredients that has made EC’s stories sing – or scream! – across 70-plus years of comics history. These are stories that will grab you tighter than a hangman’s noose . . . and leave you kicking and screaming for more before the last page is through.”
