Launched last year, R.L. Stine’s adult horror comic book series Stuff of Nightmares is back this year with Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder, announced by Fangoria this week.
From BOOM! Studios, Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder will be unleashed in September.
In the new terror tale, “Comic creator Alex Oxaca has been out of the spotlight for decades, and he’ll wish he’d remained in obscurity soon enough. A real ax murderer, cosplaying as the titular hatchet-wielding killer in his early 2000’s smash hit series, Red Murder, starts chopping down equally real victims at a horror convention!”
Adam Gorham (The Blue Flame) is handling the art, while Stine pens the story.
“The works of R.L. Stine and illustrations of Goosebumps cover artist Tim Jacobus formed pillars of my pop culture DNA while growing up in 1990’s Canada. Their novels were staples of any school book fair or library and coveted by many fifth graders, myself especially,” Adam Gorham tells Fangoria. “The Goosebumps television show (filmed in Canada) was appointment viewing for me, and I have fond memories of drawing any spooky thing I could imagine while watching that program. If you told me then that nearly 30 years later, I would be working with the legendary author on a comic book of our own… actually, that is exactly the kind of opportunity I’d have hoped for as a kid, which makes this project all the more exciting.”
Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder #1 will be available on September 27.
