Last week in this slot I posted the first issue of the UK's SCREAM! horror comic magazine from the 1980's. Well, it seems like it has garnered a cult following as just this last May a collection of all the issues (15) was published, titled 40 YEARS OF SCREAM! Here in the States it was listed for pre-order by PREVIEWS WORLD back in February for $61.99. Like so many other reprinted collections of fan favorites from the past, the print edition is already sold out (one greedy bookseller has it up for sale at Amazon for 400 bucks)! A digital edition has been made available from the publisher (see below). Who would'a thought?
From the publisher:
Beginning with introductions by editors Ian Rimmer and Barrie Tomlinson, this gorgeous archival collection reprints the strips and covers from each issue in order, as well as extras such as unpublished pages and a gallery of Ghastly McNasty images.
Not for the nervous! Celebrating 40 years since IPC launched the UK's most iconic "horror" anthology, this single volume collects all of the strips included in the 15-issue run of Scream! Produced "from the depths" of King's Reach Tower by the mysterious "undead" editor Ghastly McNasty, the first issue of Scream! was unleashed on March 24, 1984. More tongue-in-cheek than horrific, the comic was an immediate hit with younger fans as it included a pair of fake vampire fangs attached to the cover and a number of fantastic new strips from such talents as Alan Moore, John Wagner, Jose Ortiz, Cam Kennedy, Tom Tully, Alan Grant, and Eric Bradbury.
