Out of the ashes of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS, the immortal EC Comics ushers THE TORMENTOR—a new horror host with an unhealthy interest in human anatomy—into a bloody new horror anthology!

Holtham (The Horizon Experiment), Patricia A. Jackson (Star Wars: Tales from the New Republic), and Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) join artists Valeria Burzo (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss), Kano (EC's Cruel Universe), Lukas Ketner (Count Crowley), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves), Dan McDaid (Shazam!), Fabiana Mascolo (Cyberpunk 2077), Sami Kivela (Abbott), Shawn McManus (Fables), Christopher Mitten (The Autumn Kingdom), and Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters Are My Business) to turn the red-hot irons on all-new, blisteringly brutal tales of mayhem and malice in the undying EC tradition! The critics are already saying, 'This is literal torture' and 'Please make it stop!' Pick up this fright-packed and fearful first volume—and we might just consider letting them go!  Collects Catacomb of Torment #1–4.
