Haunting Hallowe’en: the Misty & Scream Special returns!

By John Freeman on August 18, 2020

Wrapped in a gorgeous cover is by Andrea Bulgarelli, the Misty & Scream Special returns next month, just in time for Hallowe’en, with another 52-page anthology stuffed with scares to create a new generation from British horror fans!

The Prince of Darkness comes face to face with an old foe in “The Dracula Files” from Cavan Scott and Vincenzo Riccardi; Black Beth’s quest for vengeance continues thanks to the fevered minds of Alec Worley and DaNi; and Kek-W and Simon Coleby reveal the ghoulish World War One air ace, Black Max, attempting to cross back over into the world of the living!

Plus there’s three frightfully fresh stories to shock your socks off – “Thief of Senses” by Maura McHugh and Robin Henley; “Bumps in the Night” by Olivia Hicks and John Lucas, and “The Aegis” by Kristyna Baczynski and Mary Safro.

So lock your doors and hide under the duvet as this is the spookiest read you’ve encounter this Hallowe’en!

• Misty & Scream 2020 Special is out next month and you can pre-order it now from Rebellion’s Treasury of British Comics web shop
