Legendary Comics readies Trick ‘r Treat graphic novel

Legendary Comics, in partnership with Rocketship Entertainment, is launching a new graphic novel based on the popular horror anthology film Trick r’ Treat.

Trick’ r Treat: Witching Hours is available exclusively on Kickstarter and marks the first original Trick ‘r Treat graphic novel in a decade.

The graphic novel features four brand-new, original stories centred around the film’s key figure, SAM. Writers include Michael Dougherty, Zach Shields, Todd Casey, Breehn Burns and Curtis Waugh, with artistic contributions from Ben Templesmith, Breehn Burns and Tristan Jones.

“I’m thrilled to return to the twisted world of Trick ‘r Treat for more of Sam’s mischievous adventures,” said Trick ‘r Treat writer/director Michael Dougherty.

“This new graphic novel is a true labour of love, created by a top-notch team of writers and artists, and I can’t wait for fans to join us for the best Halloween party ever.”

Fans and collectors will also have the opportunity to pledge for exclusive items available only during the Kickstarter campaign, including a special slipcase edition of the graphic novel and other limited-edition merchandise.
