Tradition for Storm King Comics is releasing a horror anthology called Tales for a HalloweeNight just as October creeps up a short distance away. This year will mark the fifth anniversary of the anthology, complete with original stories by John Carpenter, Sandy King Carpenter, Frank Tieri, Cat Staggs, Sara Richard, Chandra Free, Janice Chiang, among others.
Storm King is ready to spread Halloween cheer and horrors galore with this anthology at this year’s New York Comic Con, along with some other surprises.
The horror comics publisher has had a pretty busy year so far. They announced their new Storm Kids line aimed at kids and young adults at San Diego Comic Con and are spreading the word on possible TV shows based on their comics. They have also announced NYCC exclusives, such as variant covers for their anthology and the premier of the John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction: Twitch graphic novel.
Storm King Comics CEO Sandy King will be participating in a panel called “Wonder Women: Female Comic CEOS,” which will take place in room 1B03 on Thursday, October 3rd at 6:30 pm.
Storm King Comics will be in booth 2304 at NYCC and they will have John Carpenter-signed trades and tour DVDs on sale.
Here’s the official press for Storm King Comics at NYCC:
Nothing says Halloween like John Carpenter and Sandy King and nothing starts Halloween like the Storm King Comics booth (2304) at New York Comic-Con. The award-winning in-house publishing line from the horror master has made the yearly anthology release of John Carpenter’s Tales For A HalloweeNight a treasured fall tradition in many comic households. NYCC is the first chance for fans to get this year’s con exclusive signed by creators. 2019 is the fifth-anniversary edition of the Halloween release and to make it extra special the cover art is courtesy of renown comic artist Cat Staggs (Wonder Woman 77, Crosswind). John Carpenter’s Tales Of Science Fiction: Twitch graphic novel will be premiering at the show as well and both releases will have creative teams on hand for signings. John Carpenter will not be attending the convention but signed copies of all of the new trades as well as tour DVDs will be on hand for sale.
