EC Catacomb of Torment #9

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CORPSES! Welcome back to the endless maze of the Tormentor’s catacombs, where the flesh is flayed and dread lurks in every panel. EC Catacomb of Torment #9 delivers three ribcage-throbbing horror tales in classic EC Comics fashion, weaving claustrophobic corridors, macabre twists, and a palpable sense of unease. The issue teams a diverse slate of writers—Celeste Bronfman (Star Trek, My Little Pony), Jude Ellison S. Doyle (Dead Teenagers, Be Not Afraid), and Joe R. Lansdale, a Bram Stoker Award winner making his long-awaited EC Comics debut—with artists Felipe Cunha, David Lapham, and Malachi Ward bringing the carnivalesque gore to vivid life. Cover art graces each edition, including Ariel Olivetti’s lead image and variant contributions from Yanick Paquette, Shawn McManus, and Patricia Martin. A 32-page, mature anthology that sits at the heart of EC’s revival, blending psychological horror with grotesque imagination.
