1st printing. Collects stories from John Carpenter's Tales for a HalloweeNight TPB (2015-2024 Storm King) Vol. 4-10. Written by Frank Tieri. Art and cover by Cat Staggs. Introduction by John Carpenter. Comic legends Frank Tieri and Cat Staggs have teamed up to offer tales of monsters, both human and supernatural, creeping in the streets of Brooklyn. As it turns out, these big city beasties, whether ghosts, vampires, wendigoes or simply human beings bent on revenge, have been responsible for events as widespread as the '77 NY blackout, the Coney Island fire of 1911, and even the Revolutionary War's Battle of Brooklyn. The "truth" behind all these events is not what you've been told. Thankfully, Tieri is here to set things straight. This collection includes all six of the duo's stories from JOHN CARPENTER'S TALES FOR A HALLOWEE NIGHT volumes 4 through 10, plus a seventh story, woven between the others, to tie these events and characters together. Cat Staggs illustrated the entire collection. You'll never look at New York the same way again. Softcover, 136 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $22.99.
