Epitaphs from the Abyss Comic (2024)

From the legendary publisher behind Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, and Haunt of Fear, EC Comics rises from the grave with its first new horror series in nearly 70 years: Epitaphs from the Abyss, published by Oni Press in 2024. This bold relaunch, created in partnership with William M. Gaines Agent, Inc., is a chilling 40-page horror anthology packed with shocking tales, twisted endings, and gruesome art—true to the classic EC Comics legacy. Epitaphs from the Abyss #1 features a powerhouse team of acclaimed writers and artists known for redefining genre storytelling in modern comics. The writing team includes Brian Azzarello (Batman: Damned, 100 Bullets), Chris Condon (That Texas Blood), J. Holtham (Night Thrasher, The Handmaid’s Tale), and Stephanie Phillips (Harley Quinn, Grim). These “all-killer” storytellers deliver terrifying narratives drenched in psychological dread and bone-crunching horror. Bringing these nightmares to life are master illustrators Jorge Fornes (Rorschach, Danger Street), Phil Hester (Family Tree), and Peter Krause (Irredeemable), with blood-splattered visuals that blend vintage horror aesthetics with modern grit. Perfect for fans of classic horror anthologies and readers craving smart, savage storytelling, Epitaphs from the Abyss marks the resurrection of one of the most influential brands in comic history. With each issue promising new stories of fear and fury, this series is set to redefine horror comics for a new generation.
