After the success of last year’s fright-filled outing, the Scream & Misty Special is back returns for Halloween 2018 from 2000AD publisher Rebellion.
Two of Britain’s best-loved comics of the 1970s have reunited once again, offering an anthology of brand new tales, guaranteed to terrify and entertain you this October. Featuring more treats than tricks, including the further misdemeanours of Max the computer in “The Thirteenth Floor“, ghoulish goings on with the undead World War One pilot “Black Max” (from the short-lived comic Thunder), plus, zombie and vampire DNA combine to create a brand new horror sensation called Decomposition Jones!
All this, plus a tomb full of other tales from the Realms of the Mist!
Last year’s Special was a gem and I’ve no doubt Rebellion Publishing will again deliver more terrifying delights (and a variant cover, I’d imagine, just as they di last year) from their fast-developing “shared universe” of fondly-remembered comic characters from titles they now own.
