A NEW ERA FOR THE MOST INFAMOUS AND INFLUENTIAL AMERICAN HORROR BRAND OF ALL TIME STARTS HERE IN ONE DEVILISHLY DELUXE HARDCOVER COLLECTION

After 70 years, EC Comics--the notorious comics publisher that spawned TALES FROM THE CRYPT, WEIRD SCIENCE, MAD magazine, and many more--rises from the grave with its first new series of the twenty-first century For the first time in one comprehensive collection, join us for a guided tour of the Grave-Digger's cemetery on the edge of the endless abyss . . . where EVERY TOMBSTONE TELLS A TALE . . . and the quickest way to etch your own is through MALEVOLENCE, MALICE, and MURDER

In 1955, the Comics Code Authority drove a stake through the depraved heart of EC Comics--the iconic publisher behind Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, and more instantly influential titles that redefined American horror for generations to come.

Now, groundbreaking comics publisher Oni Press has done the unthinkable: Resurrected the immortal spirit of EC Comics for the 21st century with a brand-new slate of wildly bestselling, critically acclaimed, and award-nominated new series . . . beginning with its flagship horror series EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS

Collecting EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS #1-12 for the first time in a staggeringly deluxe, oversized (7.5 x 11.5") hardcover, witness these all-new tales of depraved intention and traumatic tension in the undying EC tradition--as wrenched from the grave by relentless writers Jason Aaron (Thor), Brian Azzarello (Joker), Corinna Bechko (Green Lantern: Earth One), Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), J. Holtham (The Horizon Experiment), Matt Kindt (BRZRKR), and more, and realized into bloody reality by "all-slaughter" artists Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz), Kano (Gotham Central), Klaus Janson (The Dark Knight Returns), Leomacs (Benjamin), Alison Sampson (Department of Truth), and more

Plus: More than 50 pages of "behind-the-screams" material, including process art, character designs for EC's newest horror hosts, a cover gallery, and more
