With Labor Day weekend behind us, we’re about to enter Halloween season. But it’s not too soon to start planning how to keep your horror high going past October 31st. Thankfully, Skybound will help you stay buzzed through the end of the year — with the Creepshow Holiday Special #1! Check out three variant covers from the issue after these official details from Skybound HQ…
Today Skybound announced the Creepshow Holiday Special #1. The all-new one shot from the hugely popular comic book anthology based on Greg Nicotero’s hit Shudder TV series produced and licensed by Cartel Entertainment will hit comic book stores December 6, 2023.
We proudly present a holiday special of petrifying proportions—Creepshow is here to put fear in your cheer!
First, you’ve heard of Santa, you’ve heard of Krampus, but have you ever heard of “The Christmas Man”? Witness the birth of a new horrifying holiday classic from Daniel “Don’t Call Me Santa” Kraus (The Shape of Water, Shudder’s Creepshow) and jolly Jonathan Wayshak (Skin Crawl, Ferryman)! Then, jingling James Asmus (Survival Street, Rick & Morty) and lively Letizia Cadonici (House of Slaughter) deliver a cautionary tale about stealing the wrong parcel in “Package Thief.”
In addition to the main cover by Guillem March, Creepshow Holiday Special #1 comes with an impressive lineup of variant covers, including a cover by Jonathan Wayshak and a 1:10 incentive cover by Jorge Corona.
Elsewhere in Creepshow lineups, Volume 2’s all-star creative roster includes Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys), Becky Cloonan (Wonder Woman), Phil Hester (Gotham City: Year One), Michael Wash (The Silver Coin), Dan Watters (Homesick Pilots, Arkham City), Abigail Larson (Sandman Universe: The Dreaming), Zoe Thorogood (It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth), Joel Farrelly (Tell Me a Story), Goran Sudžuka (Ghosted, Year Zero), Nick Dragotta (East of West), Alisa Kwitney (Mystik U), Saladin Ahmed (Dragon, Miles Morales: Spider-Man), Joe Quinones (Batman ‘89), Tim Daniel & DB Andry (End After End), Matthew Roberts (Manifest Destiny), and many others to be announced.
Brian Witten is overseeing on behalf of Nicotero’s Monster Agency Productions.
The Creepshow comic miniseries deal was brokered by Striker Entertainment.
