The solicits are out and CREEPY #3 will be released on February 24, 2010. Included is the twistedly, mind-fuckingly climactic third and final chapter of THE CURSE by yours truly and Jason Shawn Alexander.

From Dark Horse's Site:

Uncle Creepy is back with the third thick and icky issue of Creepy! This issue Doug Moench and Angelo Torres team up to tell a tale of demonic devotion and organized crime, Joe Harris and Jason Shawn Alexander wrap their warped three-parter, "The Curse," and a weird revisionist look back at the fall of the Nazi empire reveals a shocking truth-evil never dies! Plus an all-new Loathsome Lore, a bonus Creepy classic story, and more!

* Creepy debuted to rave reviews in July 2009, and the first issue sold out!

As previously mentioned, Part Two of THE CURSE in last quarter's issue suffered a printing error. As a result, Dark Horse has made the entire 10-page story available for free online and it's still up for your consumption.

Just wanted to let everyone know that CREEPY #2, which contains the second installment of my story, "The Curse" was finally released yesterday by Dark Horse Comics... only there were a couple of unfortunate printing errors.

First, this second chapter of "The Curse" is mis-credited. A different writer's name is printed on the opening page when I did, in fact, write it. Same as I did "Part One" of this serialized tale of murder and mind-fucking, as well as the forthcoming "Part Three." Dan Braun has a terrific story elsewhere in this book... it just isn't "The Curse."

Second, page 8 of this 10-page chapter is missing text.. as in, all of it. No balloons. No captions. No nothing. And, I assure you, where there's certainly a time and place to get silent on a comic book page, the climax of this story's chapter was certainly not one of them. It's a weird production mistake that slipped through the cracks and, though it sucked to see this really fun and twisted story so gorgeously drawn by Jason Shawn Alexander presented unfinished and incomplete, Dark Horse Comics has made the entire 10-page story available for free online to make good.

The printed version will, obviously, be corrected in any future printings and collections. But, for now, I'd really appreciate it if people who read any press or reviews pertaining to CREEPY #2 could be made aware of this.

Like everyone else involved in the relaunch of CREEPY, I have a great deal of affection for the title and its history. Honest mistakes happen in the maddening process of getting comics out on time, though it still hurts to see one's work presented as less than was intended. I am proud of this story and wanted to set the record, however small, straight.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Best,
JH

Creepy #2 was bumped from Dark Horse's schedule for October and will be released on November 25th.

I've seen the finished art and letters for Part Two of "The Curse" and it looks phenomenal! Can't wait for this to come out as my collaboration with Jason Shawn Alexander keeps getting cooler and more fucking twisted as we go.

And check out the new cover from Eric Powell!

Dark Horse has solicited CREEPY #2 with another pulpy cool cover by Eric Powell.

Jason Shawn Alexander absolutely killed it on Part One of our mind control power fuck story, THE CURSE. Jude's descent continues in Part Two, on sale October 28th.

It's alive! It's evil! And it's coming for you. Horror fans and art fiends, beware -- a new issue of new Creepy is lurking right around the corner. Dark Horse Comics and New Comic Company keep the hellfires burning in October with another evil-engorged 48 pages of short horror stories by established greats and ook-inducing newcomers. This issue, we're featuring the second mind-bendingly gruesome chapter of "The Curse;" a ghastly shocker from legendary horror writer Joe R. Lansdale; an all-new Loathsome Lore; new work from Jason Shawn Alexander, Dan Braun, and Greg Ruth and much, much gore! Creepy is not only packed with paralyzing tales of fear, it's a jaw-dropping value, too. With 48 pages packed with content, not advertising, our boo buffet is one hell of a deal!

* The reanimation of a beloved series continues with new, freakishly great stories!

* New frightening tales from masters of illustrated terror!

I'll be in San Diego (sometimes it feels like I haven't left)... look for me at the Dark Horse booth (#2615) where we'll be promoting CREEPY.

I'll be signing on Friday, July 24th at 5:00 pm.

Be sure to check out the first issue of the fabulously relaunched CREEPY from Dark Horse. On sale today, 7/15 at fine purveyors of comics everywhere!

Comic Book Resources gave us a great review this morning.

Diamond Gallery's SCOOP has a nice write up on the forthcoming return of CREEPY COMICS from Dark Horse. I've written a very twisted little tale that will be serialized through the first three issues of the series entitled, THE CURSE. The art by Jason Shawn Alexander is gorgeously disturbing.

CREEPY COMICS #1 comes out this Wednesday, 7/15. You can pre-order a copy online.

I'll post more on the San Diego Comic-con CREEPY panel and signing later.

Dark Horse has announced CREEPY COMICS #1 will be out this July 15th. I've been writing a twisted little three-part story which will run through the first few issues titled, THE CURSE. Jason Shawn Alexander is supplying painted artwork... Eric Powell is painting the cover... and check out the rest of the incredible artist lineup!

I'm very excited to get this out there. This book is going to be gorgeous.

From DarkHorse.com:

What's black and white and clawing its way onto your reading list? It's the newly resurrected Creepy, of course! Now, don't fret, my putrid pets -- these new terror tales are cut from the same cursed cloth as the outlandish originals, telling contemporary horror stories with gorgeously ghoulish art from a lineup that'll make you lose your head! Original Creepy artist Angelo Torres teams up with devilish Dan Braun on "Hell Hound Blues"; Michael Woods and artist Saskia Gutekunst serve up a dose of "Chemical 13"; Neil Kleid and Brian Churilla provide "All the Help You Need" at a weird weight-loss camp; and jaundiced Jason Shawn Alexander brings his phenomenal painting skills to Joe Harris's "The Curse"! Plus Bernie Wrightson, the return of "Loathsome Lore," and more. All this, plus one classic story from Uncle Creepy's dank dungeon, and you've got 48 freakish pages of terror to bring home to mummy!
