The Horror! The Horror!: Creepy, Stitched, & Aliens

Finally! An ongoing monthly article that makes you face the monsters in the closet. You can run, but you can't hide from our selected ghoulish items in PREVIEWS that will make you flee and scream bloody murder. Horror fiends: let the madness begin! This is the run-down on what ghastly items can be found in the September PREVIEWS catalog, and if you can't take the chills, TOO BAD! This is where the children of the night gather, and howl at the moon without apology.

Creepy Archives Volume 28 HC

Many horror comic fans will argue that there's no school like the old school. But when exactly did class let out for the old school? Some will say it's the EC line of yesteryear. But others will champion the old black-and-white magazine days in the 70s, which was the next evolution for horror as the EC line went away because of congressional pressure. If you want a reference for those old black-and-white mags, look no further than the Creepy Archives Volume 28 HC (NOV180260), which collects Creepy magazine issues #134-#139. Bloodthirsty bats, homicidal honeymooners, murderous mummies, starving psychopaths, and a bunch of other not-ready-for-preschool deviants to make you glad that old school horror is alive and well so long as publishers like Dark Horse Comics keep publishing the classics. Look for it in the November issue of the PREVIEWS catalog!

Zombie Tramp Volume 15 TP

Do you heed the advice of strangers? Those nameless people on the street who claim they are doing you a great service by stopping you from falling into the abyss? Do you trust the man who says he's dying of cancer, but if he can stop you from being affected by his same malady, it will be because he stopped you from opening the door to nowhere? Do you listen to these anonymous sign posts of doom, or do you write them off as cranks? Pick up the Crypt of Shadows #1 (NOV180845) from Marvel Comics, and then ask yourself that same question. You might have thought twice about listening to perfect strangers if you knew what your eyes would see once you opened this tome of classic titles from the Marvel of yesteryear. This 80th Anniversary celebration of chills will drag you down to the depths of despair, and you may not look at horror comics the same way again. Check it out in the November Marvel PREVIEWS!

Stitched: Terror

Writer Pat Shand teams up with artist Daniel Gete to help the undead horrors return. Yes. Those mouthless aberrations from Hell that were first unleashed upon us by the demented imagination of Garth Ennis. They are without conscience or soul. Something you'd expect to see from a Lucio Fulci film. Emotionless automatons that only have one purpose, and that's to rip you limb from limb. Yes. Those things you hope you never see so long as there are covers to pull over your head. Well, they're back. In Stitched: Terror #1 (NOV181560), they are loose in the streets of the USA, and young girls start to go missing. Get ready to witness a a supernatural slaughterhouse in this new book that you'll find in the Comics/Graphic Novels/Print section of the November PREVIEWS!

Aliens Xenomorph Queen Ultra Deluxe AF

Fans of Queen have heard this title before: death on two legs. But the expression doesn't apply to a pushy record executive in this case, as we direct your attention to the graphic above which shows the Aliens Xenomorph Queen Ultra Deluxe AF (MAR178729). To look at this 15" tall and 30" long figure and think there's any way to escape these jaws of death is to fool yourself. You really think you could put a safe distance between yourself and this terrifying Xenomorph Queen that's based on her appearance in the 1986 film Aliens? Right. It would be your hopeless death that would have everyone chuckling. Yeah. You're going to have a prayer against death on two legs that has over 30 points of articulation, and a poseable tail. Good luck with that. She may be in the November PREVIEWS catalog now, but she's coming to a nightmare near you.
