Sold-Out 'Scream!' collection gets reprinted due to high demand

Get ready to scream – due to unprecedented demand, the sold-out complete collection of '80s horror comic Scream! is to be reprinted in time for Christmas.

Celebrating 40 years since IPC launched the UK's most iconic 'horror' anthology, this wonderfully horrifying single volume collects all of the strips included in the 15-issue run of Scream!.

All copies of the hardcover collection sold out before it was due to hit shelves in May this year, but thanks to overwhelming popular demand a reprint is now its way and will arrive in the 2000 AD and Treasury of British Comics webshops and all good retailers in late November.

Produced 'from the depths' of King's Reach Tower by the mysterious 'undead' editor Ghastly McNasty, the first issue of Scream! was unleashed in March 1984. More tongue-in-cheek than horrific, the comic was an immediate hit with younger fans. It included a pair of fake vampire fangs attached to the cover and a number of fantastic new strips from such legendary talents as Alan Moore, John Wagner, Jose Ortiz, Cam Kennedy, Tom Tully, Alan Grant and Eric Bradbury.

The celebratory hardcover collection of the entire original run includes every single strip published in issues 1-15, making this an absolute must-have for fans of classic horror and thriller comics. The original print run sold out before its publication date in May and fans have been eagerly hoping for a reprint.

"Scream! was such an iconic and beloved title, so it was gratifying to see just how many people remember it and wanted to revisit its incredible stories. We've had so many requests to reprint the hardcover edition and I'm delighted that bring such a sumptuous collection to even more people."
