HAUNTED HORROR Collected Volume One / The WORST of EERIE Publications

A few updates on some new IDW / Yoe Books Chilling Horror hardcovers coming soon, as recently revealed on the H ORROR COMICS facebook group-- (join HERE if you haven't already!) Firstly, sometime here at the end of 2013 we'll finally see the HAUNTED HORROR Vol. 1 hardcover collection featuring issues 1-3, plus some bonuses, as well as an introduction by Jerry Only, original founding member of the Misfits! And secondly, just announced days ago, Mike "Howler" Howlett is planning a foreboding follow-up to his amazing Weird World of Eerie Publications book with a compilation of the "worst" stories collected from various issues, coming in 2014-- eeek!

More news to follow at the HORROR COMICS group, as well as right here at THOIA of course!

Mr. Cavin said...: Oh man, I'm really looking forward to both of these. Since the Haunted Horror Collection is basically already in my hands (in its original format). it's pretty easy for me to imagine what that hardback is going to look like and consist of. The Eerie Pubs book is proving a little harder to imagine. Yoe Books' first black and white volume in the Chilling Archives? I sure hope there are a lot of cover reproductions--I like those even better than the tarted-up story reprints, and the ones in Mike's first book--which was wonderful--were, alas, kind of small. Can't wait!; 11/10/2013
Mr. Karswell said...: Look at it as the greatest coloring book of your life, Mr C! You know you wanna color some decapitated heads and flying eyeballs!; 11/10/2013
Mr. Cavin said...: Oh totally!; 11/10/2013
craig yoe said...: In the Haunted Horror book besides the Jerry Only intro there are Warren Kremer's originsl sketches for the illo on our cover, a story by Kremer reproduced from the original art---but, WAIT, there's more: an incredible Rudy Palais bonus story! And you'll see Karswell's beautiful face!; 11/11/2013
Mr. Karswell said...: I think you had everyone hooked until that last bonus about my face, Forelock!; 11/11/2013
