“When I wrote this short, I was really thinking about my newborn daughter. And I knew Vincenzo could make magic happen, so I just went as hard as I could. I really let loose while still allowing our stories to serve as a framework to showcase the other creators.” – Eliot Rahal
“In this issue I had the luck to draw, for the first time in sequential interior pages, Sabrina Spellman! As a fan of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Netflix show, it was a real blast to work on this character. I love the transformation sequence that Eliot wrote and I tried my best to better show the power of Madam Satan.” – Vincenzo Federici
“As a veteran Hot Topic employee, I was immediately enthralled to not only redesign Shrill, but to modernize a fun take on the folks at Riverdale for a wild Tales from the Crypt-style short with none other than Casey Gilly. I hate to admit it, but I too often feel this dehydrated (all while staying cute), so you could say drawing these pages was A MOOD. You won’t want to miss this very spooky, extremely fun one shot of CHILLING ADVENTURES IN SORCERY!” – Liana Kangas
