Halloween: The Mark of Thorn Cover

[A$H]

Stefan Hutchinson and the fiends at Devil's Due Publishing and Compass International Pictures will carry on the good word of Michael Myers in a new comic book mini-series beginning in February.

Halloween: The Mark of Thorn is an all-new tale that takes a fresh look at the Halloween franchise through the eyes of one of the original film's survivors, Tommy Doyle.

Many years have passed, and now Tommy Doyle is a happily married comic book writer and artist living in Salt Lake City. He's persuaded by his editor to write a fictionalized version of the events that happened to him - a story that will attempt to make sense of the madness that happened when serial killer Michael Myers butchered his way through the small town of Haddonfield all those years ago.

As Tommy's story begins, he starts to bring to life monsters from the past and secrets that should have remained buried - the worlds of fact and fiction blur, leading to an inevitable confrontation with his biggest fear of all, Michael Myers!

The story will be scripted by the team of regular series writer, Hutchinson, and Jeff Katz (Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash). It will begin a month after the current series - Halloween: The First Death of Laurie Strode) finishes and artists will be announced shortly.

For now enjoy these two covers for Thorn by Chee (the top is exclusive to ShockTillYouDrop.com), the illustrator of Steve Niles' Wake the Dead. And pay a visit to HalloweenComics.com for more info.
