The iconic EC Comics brand has found new life at Oni Press, with Oni delivering new horror and sci-fi anthologies from some of the industry’s top creators. That partnership continues in Shellshock, a new one-shot special that combines horror and war stories into one chilling blend.
IGN can exclusively debut the cover art to Shellshock #1. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:
Shellshock #1 is a 56-page book with contributions by writers Julio Anta (This Land Is Our Land: A Blue Beetle Story), John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.), Benito Cereno (Invincible Presents: Atom Eve), and Michael W. Conrad (Double Walker) and artists Tom Fowler (EC’s Catacomb of Torment), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Albert Monteys (Slaughterhouse-Five: The Graphic Novel), and Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves).
The issue features cover art by Lee Bermejo, Tyler Crook, Tom Fowler, Jay Stephens, and Ryan Hughes.
“Take a journey into the deepest depths of the heart of darkness, as Shellshock showcases the most skin-crawling monster of all— humankind’s capacity for war and bloodshed,” said Senior Editor Allyson Gronowitz in a statement.
