Nothing says Halloween like John Carpenter and Sandy King and nothing starts Halloween like the Storm King Comics booth (2304) at New York Comic-Con. The award-winning in-house publishing line from the horror master has made the yearly anthology release of John Carpenter’s Tales For A HalloweeNight a treasured fall tradition in many comic households. NYCC is the first chance for fans to get this year’s con exclusive signed by creators. 2019 is the fifth-anniversary edition of the Halloween release and to make it extra special the cover art is courtesy of renown comic artist Cat Staggs (Wonder Woman 77, Crosswind). John Carpenter’s Tales Of Science Fiction: Twitch graphic novel will be premiering at the show as well and both releases will have creative teams on hand for signings. John Carpenter will not be attending the convention but signed copies of all of the new trades as well as tour DVDs will be on hand for sale.
