Just in time for the Halloween season, Creepshow, an extension of the Shudder TV show, returns with Creepshow Vol. 1. 3 The first in the highly addictive Image Comics series. We present two fascinating stories. One is titled “Let ‘Er Trip” by writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Kagan McLeod, and the other is “Scrimshaw” by writer, artist and letterer James Stokoe.
In this issue, The Creep brings you two nightmarishly entertaining stories. Chip Zdarsky’s “Let ‘Er Trip” follows Jane Miller, a helicopter parent struggling with her relationship with her daughter Mary. When Mary turned 18 and decided to leave home, Jane had no intention of letting her go for nothing. She tracks down Mary, only to discover that she has taken refuge in a cult. What happens next is a surprise that even Jane didn’t expect.

Next is “Scrimshaw”. This is the story of a reporter who thinks he’s following the story of yet another eccentric fisherman. Unfortunately for him, this story includes severed arms, mysterious creatures, and creepy carvings of human bones. Some stories are better left untold. This reporter learned through painful experience that when you go looking for a story, you can sometimes get yourself carried away.

The best thing about both stories is that they couldn’t be more different from each other, yet they blend seamlessly together. Some of the Creepshow stories feel a little short, but that’s part of what makes reading (and watching) the stories so addictive. Kagan McLeod and James Stockoe are excellent with the artwork, using color and detail to perfect the classic “gotcha” moments that make both the Creepshow TV show and comics so appealing. I’m capturing it.
Overall, Creepshow Vol. 3 #1 is the perfect treat to kick off the Halloween season in October. It’s fast-paced, impactful, and has a twist ending that makes you question everything you’ve just read. Let’s take issue #2!

A fast and intense story with a crazy twist.
Gritty artwork that helps bring your story to life.
I wish the story had been a little longer.
