Up-and-coming publisher Space Goat thinks they've found a new niche in the horror market and their sales seem to be backing that up. They're recently released one-shot Evil Dead 2: Revenge of Hitler has sold out and is going back for a second printing. The issue by Ian Edginton, Larry Watts and Chris Summers pitted horror icon Ash Williams against the historical dictator.

With the success of the first books, the company has announced a series of other one-shots pitting Ash against other horror favorites like Martians, Vampires, Jack the Ripper and the Krampus throughout 2016.

Georgia Ball, who's currently writing two graphic novels for Scholastic, will script Evil Dead 2: Revenge of Jack The Ripper.

Ty Templeton (Batman '66, Batman Adventures, Spider-Man) will revive H.G. Wells' classic Martians from The War of the Worlds.
