DJ Khaled voice: another one. Or, more specifically, another horror anthology is about to hit comic book stands, with the return of Scream! for its 40th anniversary from 2000 AD. And just to be clear, no, we are not talking about the hit movie series.
The new 64-page comic will feature a bevy of creators including Alex Paknadel, Torunn Grønbekk, VV Glass, Anna Readman, Emily Schnall, and Alejandro Aragon. It celebrates the return of the 1984 book, which ran for 15 issues from the mysterious editor Ghastly McNasty.
The new book also features a cover by DaNi, and four brand brand-new stories, including continuations of the classic Dracula File and Thirteenth Floor tales. Check out descriptions of the four stories per a press release provided to Comic Book Club, as well as some preview pages, below.
