About the series

In 1982, New American Library brought the anthology horror of the Creepshow film to comics with a single oversized issue, written by Stephen King and illustrated by Berni Wrightson. This one-shot adaptation of the movie's original stories, from the vengeful "Father's Day" to the crate-dwelling "The Crate," captures the EC Comics-inspired spirit that George A. Romero's film celebrated. King and Wrightson—both longtime fans of classic horror comics—collaborate here with a love for the macabre, making this a must-read for fans of the film and a perfect snapshot of early '80s horror. It remains a cult touchstone for its fidelity to the source material and its creators' shared reverence for the genre's golden age.
