Scream! Returns: Celebrating 40 Years with a New Anthology
Ghastly McNasty cordially invites you back into a world of terror! Scream! is back, with an all-new lineup of stories to make you shiver!
Scream! will be celebrating 40 years since it first burst onto the British comics scene by publishing an all-new oversized anthology. Featuring creators including Alex Paknadel, Torunn Gronbekk, VV Glass, Anna Readman, Emily Schnall, Alejandro Aragon and more, Scream! will deliver 64 pages of terror this November!
First published in 1984 and hosted by the mysterious editor "Ghastly McNasty", Scream! ran for fifteen issues, which terrorised a whole generation of innocent young readers, electrifying them with horror tales like "The Thirteenth Floor", "The Dracula File", "Library of Death", and more. With comics from legendary figures in the comics scene, including Gerry Finley-Day, Eric Bradbury, Alan Moore, John Wagner, Alan Grant, Cam Kennedy and more, Scream! left an impression on anyone who read it. This new anthology celebrates all that made the original Scream! so shocking, with four new stories from some of the best creative talents in the industry today!
This collection includes a chilling new cover from comics superstar DaNi (Wonder Woman) and those brave enough to delve inside will find themselves confronted by all-new Dracula File and Thirteenth Floor strips, alongside two original stories – a peek at the dark history of a legendary 70s rock band, by Anna Readman and George Pooley, and a claustrophobic descent into the Paris catacombs, written and drawn by V.V. Glass.
The four stories included in this collection
The Dracula File by Alex Paknadel and Alejandro Aragon. A mysterious figure breaks into the home of Piper, a journalist who has been working on a story about mysterious disappearances across London. What does this stranger know – and how does it connect to the Lord of Darkness himself…?
The Thirteenth Floor by Torunn Gronbekk and Emily Schnall. Welcome to Maxwell Tower, your dream home of the future! Your every whim will be catered for by our in-house AI "Max", who will make sure that you come to absolutely no harm during your stay. Unless you start to cause trouble, that is…
And His Skin Is Cold by Anna Readman and George Pooley. Head back to the 1970s, as a British rock n'roll band head out on their breakout American tour. But on one fateful evening, they find that while talent can bring them fame, fortune and immortality… that isn't the only way to live forever…
Inverted Burial by V.V. Glass. Paris is the City of Love – but beyond the cosy cafes and romantic roads, what lurks deep down underneath the streets? Enter on a claustrophobic descent into the Paris catacombs…
You are cordially invited to enter the dark and twisted horrors of the all-new Scream!, arriving at a newsagent or comic shop near you on the 4th of November 2024!
