Joe Hill's WOLVERTON STATION gets adapted for CREEPSHOW comic one-shot

Long earlier than he turned a well-known creator, Joe Hill performed Billy within the Creepshow film penned by his father, Stephen King. So it’s reasonably becoming that right this moment Skybound introduced Creepshow: Joe Hill’s Wolverton Station, an all-new one shot adapting Hill’s quick story.

Hill is joined by Jason Ciaramella (C is for Cthulu) and Michael Walsh (The Silver Coin) to adapt his acclaimed quick story in an expanded format with new twists and turns…together with a particular look by The Creep! They inform the terrifying story of a businessman whose commute is about to get lots hairier when his prepare makes an surprising cease at “Wolverton Station”!

Hill expressed nice enthusiasm concerning the undertaking:

“I’m always glad to renew my acquaintance with The Creep and reconnect with the gleeful gross-outs that are the hallmark of Creepshow in all its manifestations, from film to TV to comics. I wrote ‘Wolverton Station’ over a decade ago, working longhand while I traveled the UK by train for a book tour, and right from the start I knew I was writing a Creepshow kind of thing. It’s the story of a cut-throat dealmaker, someone who thinks of himself as quite a wolf, running afoul of creatures whose fangs are in no way metaphorical. At its dark heart, it’s a fairy tale — not one of the modern fairy tales, the sort safely sanitized by Disney for mass consumption, but the older kind of fable, the sort with teeth. That kind of story is The Creep’s stock-and-trade and so it feels exactly right that the story should be adapted for Creepshow’s pestilent pages.”

No stranger to Creepshow, Jason Ciaramella conveyed his pleasure:

“If I needed to decide a favourite style, the mashup of horror and comedy (Is there a reputation for this? Horromedy? Comorror?) would virtually actually be on the prime of my listing. So, clearly, Creepshow has been one thing I’ve liked for principally my total life. Wolverton Station marks my third contribution to the Creepshow legacy, and my second with each Joe and Michael. With Joe, it was a collaboration on a Tom Savini-Directed episode of Creepshow for Shudder known as ‘By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain.’ With Michael, although he didn’t understand it on the time, it was a particular Creepshow-themed set of Magic: The Gathering playing cards produced by Wizards of the Coast. I really like taking part in on this blood-slicked universe of twists and hilarity and shock endings, however after I get to do it with a few proficient creeps like Michael and Joe, effectively, that’s simply one thing additional particular, *innit?

*This will not be a typo and Jason will not be English. He did, nonetheless, have a jolly good time utilizing the phrase in his script for Wolverton Station.”

Artist Michael Walsh teased:

“I’ve been a fan of Joe and Jason’s work for a long time, so to say I was excited to collaborate would be an understatement. Drawing a terrifying tale tinged with black comedy is right up my alley, and getting to work with editor Alex Antone again has been a dream. I can’t wait for all the horror fans out there to get a bloody taste of what we’ve been brewing up.”

In addition to the primary cowl by Michael Walsh, Creepshow: Joe Hill’s Wolverton Station comes with an unimaginable lineup of variant covers, together with an open to order cowl by Gabriel Rodriguez (Locke & Key) and a 1:10 incentive cowl by powerhouse illustrator Maria Wolf.
