About this eBook
AT THE STAR-LINED EDGES OF INFINITY, EC COMICS’ SCI-FI SMASH HIT RETURNS TO DRAW MORE WORLDS INTO THE MAW OF ITS GRAVITATIONAL VORTEX WITH AN ALL-NEW AND UNRELENTING 12-ISSUE MAXI-SERIES! Whether future or past, Earth or a distant world, no man can outrun the infinite singularity within us all: FEAR! Join this doomed expedition into the cold, unforgiving galaxies beyond our own as nihilistic navigators Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), J. Holtham (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), Kano (Immortal Iron Fist), Ann Nocenti (Daredevil), David Rubín (Sherlock Frankenstein), and Greg Pak (Planet Hulk) smash the laws of science . . . and splice the immortal EC Comics genome into a new breed of parasitic extraterrestrial tales with an endless appetite for pain! Plus, as an added bonus: A nerve-rending science-fiction classic from the EC vaults, painstakingly remastered and newly restored to its original coloring! BEYOND SPACE, BEYOND OBLIVION. . . . There is something vast, unsympathetic, and envious that yearns to consume us all in this CRUEL UNIVERSE! Let’s make it work for it, shall we?
About the author
J. Holtham is an American screenwriter, best known for his work on TV shows such as Cloak and Dagger, Jessica Jones, and Supergirl. He recently broke into Marvel Comics with Bishop- War College, and is bringing back fan favorite nineties character, Night Thrasher, for his first solo series in 30 years.
Greg Pak is a comic book writer and filmmaker best known for comic books such as Planet Hulk, Action Comics, and Mech Cadet Yu. He wrote the Code Monkey Save World graphic novel and The Princess Who Saved Herself children's book, based on the songs of Jonathan Coulton. Pak cowrote the fan-favorite Incredible Hercules series with Fred Van Lente, with whom he also wrote the new how-to book Make Comics Like the Pros. As a filmmaker, Pak directed the award-winning feature Robot Stories and dozens of shorts, including Happy Fun Room.
Ann Nocenti is a journalist, writer, editor and filmmaker. She wrote Ruby Falls (2020) with artist Flavia Biondi and The Seeds (2021) with artist David Aja, both graphic novels for Berger Books/Dark Horse. She also wrote Daredevil, edited X-Men, and created the characters Longshot, Typhoid, Spiral, Mojo, Blackheart, and many more. She was the script editor of The Fifth Night, a screenplay reading series, and the editor of Scenario, a screenwriting magazine. Her series about teaching in Haiti, Goudou Goudou, can be found at http://hilobrow.com/tag/goudou-goudou. She continues to work on museums, most recently Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes, a traveling exhibition launched at MoPOP in Seattle.
Charlie Adlard was born August 1966 in the town of Shrewsbury, England and, having moved away to study film and video at art college, eventually moved back and still resides there today. Before moving back to Shrewsbury, he spent a brief stint in London, finding out that the BA he’d earned at art college was pretty useless in getting a job in the film industry, and, after failing to set the world alight playing the drums in a rock band, eventually settled on the “third” option—which was comics. An option he finally realized should have been number one right from the beginning. After spending two years back in Shrewsbury working on a portfolio, he eventually found his first work on the Judge Dredd Megazine in 1992 and hasn’t looked back since.
