EC Comics would, if you don’t mind, like to know your blood type. That’s because, along with Oni Press, they’re putting the “eee!” in Free Comic Book Day with EC Comics Presents Blood Type #0.
“Very early on in the planning stages of what would become our hugely successful resurgence of the EC Comics line at Oni Press, we challenged ourselves with a series of provocative questions,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson via press release provided to Comic Book Club. “What kinds of stories would EC be telling today? What new genres would they have pioneered across the decades? And how would EC’s disruptive energy shatter and reshape the conventions of comics storytelling in the modern day? BLOOD TYPE is our answer to many of those questions – and a true first for the EC history as a tried-and-true anthology tale from the pages of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS expands outward in new and unexpected ways. We’re not saying any more until 2025 – some secrets are worth waiting for!”
Blood Type #0 will collect some of the stories that have appeared in previous EC Comics collections like Epitaphs from the Abyss, Cruel Universe, and Cruel Kingdom. But it will also tease the first ever ongoing serialized solo series from the line, starring the “blood-thirsty, bon vivant vampire” Blood Type.
The book features stories from Corinna Bechko & Jonathan Case, Matt Kindt & Kano, and Tyler Crook. Plus, there will be a look ahead at the next wave of EC Comics.
You can pick up Blood Type #0 on May 3, 2025, and look for details on Blood Type #1 coming soon. Check out the cover for the Free Comic Book Day issue by Tyler Crook, below.
