Jackson (Star Wars: Tales from the Empire), and Amy Roy (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss) above your splayed ribcage with the assistance of mangle-minded artists Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves), Fabiana Mascolo (Catwoman), and Shawn McManus (Fables) on October 15th for CATACOMB OF TORMENT #3! A murder mystery with extra-added murder, a seamstress seeking sartorial revenge, and a gardener taking the pruning shears to an extra-bloody bloom . . . Despair ye not because EC Comic's brutally entertaining monthly horror anthology is just getting warmed up – with the extra-added assistance of cover artists Dustin Weaver (Avengers), Reiko Murakami (Batgirl), Jay Stephens (Dwellings), and Patricia Martín (G.I.
