Raves and Reviews
"The legendary EC Comics brand returns with a collection of 13 all-new macabre morality tales that deliver EC’s signature unsettling atmosphere, unforgettably grotesque imagery, and gut-punch twist endings while embracing modern sensibilities and modernizing the execution for today’s horror audiences [...] This is the rare collection in which not a single entry falls flat. Supernatural retribution, monster massacres, and psychological terror abound in this triumphant revival of a classic brand."
– t, Library Journal
“Now, like the ghosts and zombies who haunted many of its pages, EC is back from the beyond [...] with the same radical spirit as their predecessors.”
– LA Review of Books
“Triumphant.”
– Screenrant
“Horrifying.”
– IGN
“Exciting.”
– Geek Vibes Nation
“There’s something about those old EC Comics that just hits different, and Epitaphs faithfully slips back into that vibe to deliver spooky new stories that have a classic feel.”
– Engadget
“There’s plenty to be disturbed by…Blood, gore, and the unease rising in your belly are all in Epitaphs from the Abyss.”
– AIPT Comics
The comic disrupts the modern comic book aesthetic, creating a scream back to a time when comics had the power to truly shock and outrage…Epitaphs is a collection of stories, linked via a storyteller of supernatural appearance, with each twisted tale featuring a protagonist who is far from heroic, and just deserts are meted out on a golden platter. There’s no hope here, no-one to come to your rescue, and brutal justice is the closest you will get to a happy ending. Let’s face it, it is exactly what you have come looking for.”
– Monkeys Fighting Robots (5 out of 5 stars)
“It’s hard imagining a higher quality modern continuation of EC’s horror brand. For those who’ve explored the superb foundational Crypts and Vaults and who want new catacombs plumbing 21st Century themes of the supernatural, let Epitaphs from the Abyss and the Grave-Digger be your guide.”
– Comics Beat
“Truly terrifying…. EC Epitaphs From the Abyss delivers everything you’d expect from classic EC Comics.”
