Renowned publisher during the Golden Age of Comics, EC Comics was known for its science fiction and horror stories. With graphic and fierce stories like Tales from the Crypt, the company became rather well-known. But anti-comics sentiment in the 1950s resulted in more censorship and demands for the company's closing. Aiming to capture the core of the original series while adjusting to contemporary sensibilities, modern comic book publisher Oni Press has revived the EC Comics brand. Part of this rebirth, Shiver Suspenstories #1 uses a similar style and thematic approach to the venerable Ec Comics books.
Shiver Suspenstories #1 features a roster of eminent comic book artists. Famously for his work on Marvel's Thor series, Jason Aaron offers his writing skills to the anthology. Famous for his legendary Wonder Woman drawings, Adam Hughes supplies artwork for one of the stories. Also contributing to this eerie collection is David Lapham, whose realistic and gritty approach permeates Stray Bullets. From the comic book business, the anthology features a varied spectrum of talent that each brings their own style and storytelling ability to produce a spine-tingling holiday experience.
Inspired by the venerable EC Comics form, Shiver Suspenstories #1 centers on winter horror stories. Examining themes of fear, anxiety, and the unanticipated hazards lurking beneath the surface of the apparently festive season, the stories in the anthology probe the sinister side of the holiday season. With a holiday twist to provide a singular and eerie reading experience, this anthology seeks to capture the core of the EC Comics brand—known for its chilling stories and macabre exploration—while incorporating.
The paper does not specifically state the Shiver Suspenstories #1 release date. Still, given the announcement at San Diego Comic-Con and the approaching holiday season, it's probably going to be published some late 2023 or early 2024. For the precise release date and pre-order information, readers should be on lookout for official announcements from Oni Press.

Following the venerable EC Comics style, this publication highlights the publisher's dedication to resurrecting the legendary brand and its original approach to horror narrative. The release of Shiver Suspenstories #1 highlights even more Oni Press's commitment to investigating the EC Comics universe and giving readers an opportunity to encounter the terrifying stories in a fresh and interesting manner.
