EC Comics and Oni Press released Shiver SuspenStories Volume II #1 last week just in time for Christmas. Cover A by Dustin Weaver features the Grave-Digger, the Tormentor and the Grim Inquisitor playing hockey with a severed head. There is also a cover B (not shown here) by Adam Hughes. There are five horror holiday-themed stories including "Eight Vengeful Nights" (Hanukkah), "Mistletoe" (Pagan), "Ginger-Snapped" (Christmas), "Red Season" (Christmas) and "The Execution" (the latter was originally published in Crime SuspenStories #12 (August-September 1952).
Here is the official summary:
"Yes, we know: It smells like dinner might be getting a little overdone! Never fear, because EC’s newest annual tradition also comes complete with an extra-added EC Comics classic—newly restored back to its authentic original coloring! As you sift through the charred remains, just remember: SHIVER SUSPENSTORIES is here to bring the horror back to the holidays . . . and we wouldn’t want it any other way!"
