Discover the First Original Comic Book Series From ‘Fear Street’ & ‘Goosebumps’ Author in October 2022
BOOM! Studios revealed today that STUFF OF NIGHTMARES #1 has sold out at the distributor level before release! This premiere issue of a brand new four-issue limited comic book series from R.L Stine, the legendary author of Fear Street and Goosebumps, who’s back with a chilling new take on iconic creatures from horror legend in his first creator-owned comic book series, with chilling art by A.L. Kaplan (Maw, Jim Henson’s The Storyteller), colors by Roman Titov (Eat the Rich), and letters by Jim Campbell (Black Badge).
