Just in time for spooky season, GlobalComix is proud to announce their partnership with Sandy King and John Carpenter’s famed Storm King Comics! Readers won’t want to miss the opportunity to get their read (and scare) this Halloween with the latest releases, John Carpenter’s Tales for a HalloweeNight Vol. 8, John Carpenter’s Night Terrors: The Coffin Road, John Carpenter Presents Storm Kids: Stanley And The Forgotten Forest, and John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction: Civilians!
“When I first met Sandy I was immediately struck by her keen sense of storytelling and unparalleled dedication to bringing these books to life,” said Eric Tapper, Head of Business development at GlobalComix. “I loved the contrast of her down-to-earth attitude and deep, sensitive artistry and craftsmanship. And for such spine-chilling and visceral books, the timing couldn’t be better: the days are changing, the weather is turning, and Halloween is edging ever closer. I’m thrilled that a new audience of readers will be able to immerse themselves in the painstaking art and stories from the minds of John and Sandy Carpenter, who have spent their careers helping us all grapple with the evil lurking in humanity.”
Founded in 2012 as a division of Storm King Productions, Storm King Comics is led by writer/producer and editor Sandy King, along with her husband, director John Carpenter. Storm King Comics brings the best writers from the worlds of comics, movies and novels together with artists from around the globe, to bring their special brand of horror and sci-fi entertainment to comics. Their flagship comic book title John Carpenter’s Asylum has become a fan-favorite, followed by the award-winning annual anthology, John Carpenter’s Tales for a HalloweeNight, and the monthly anthology series, John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction. More recent additions to the Storm King brand are John Carpenter’s Night Terrors, and John Carpenter Presents Storm Kids, the latter introducing horror and sci-fi to younger audiences.
