BOOM! Studios have announced “Stuff of Nightmares,” a brand new four-issue limited comic book series from “Fear Street” and “Goosebumps” author R.L. Stine. In his first creator-owned comic book series, Stine will put his twist on some of pop culture’s most iconic monsters. The new series will debut in September and feature chilling art by A.L. Kaplan (“Maw”) and colors by Roman Titov (“Eat the Rich”).
In the premiere of Stine’s reanimated reimagining, the monster you encounter isn’t the one you thought it’d be—you might be familiar with the classic tale of a mad scientist hell-bent on creating life, but what these two demented brothers have created is something else entirely! Get ready for a darker, more gruesome, and even more terrifying series for horror fans who are ready to face their fears in … STUFF OF NIGHTMARES!
“AT LAST I’m free to let my most horrific fantasies out! Hey, kids– stay away from STUFF OF NIGHTMARES,” said R.L. Stine. “It’s my first horror comic book work for grownups. Ghastly, gory, and I hope, good stomach-churning fun!”
“As a lifelong fan of horror, and especially R.L. Stine, it’s been an exciting experience to work with him on this dark and twisted series about the monsters that fuel our nightmares,” said Kaplan. “It was thrilling to get a chance to bring the truly macabre and creepy elements of the characters that Stine created onto the page so I hope readers get just as many chills down their spine as I did when they read this series for the very first time!”
“Stuff of Nightmares #1” will premiere with a main cover from acclaimed artist Francesco Francavilla (“Afterlife with Archie”) and highly collectible variant cover art by illustrators Miguel Mercado (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”), Adam Gorham (“The Immortal Hulk”), Jenny Frison (“Wonder Woman”), and Kyle Holtz (“Savage Spider-man”), as well as an incredibly rare variant cover from artist Björn Barends (“Something is Killing the Children”) signed by R.L. Stine and not one but two extra spooky glow-in-the-dark covers by Francavilla and original “Goosebumps” cover artist Tim Jacobus.
Print copies of “Stuff of Nightmares #1” will be available for sale in September 2022 exclusively at local comic book shops or the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including ComiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.
