Description
Torn from the decaying fingers of a desiccated wizard’s corpse and emblazoned with the undying sigil of EC Comics, this might just be our most brutish issue of CRUEL KINGDOM yet—and we’re springing some special prisoners from the dungeon to celebrate! First: Master storyteller and four-time Eisner Award winner Mark Buckingham (Miracleman, Fables) makes an immortal mark on the annals of EC history with a terrifying tale so sickening it will make the dead themselves sit up to wretch! Plus: There’s even more shocks for shilling as accursed creators Cameron Chittock (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Stranger Things), Melissa Flores (Power Rangers Prime), Sami Kivelä (The Forever Home), and Alison Sampson (Department of Truth) venture yet deeper in the unexplored realms of fatal fantasy and malevolent magic from eons past.
