Skybound Entertainment has announced an all-new feature length one-shot instalment in its Eisner Award-winning Creepshow horror anthology series with Creepshow: Joe Hill’s Wolverton Station, an adaptation of Joe Hill’s (Locke & Key, Horns) acclaimed short story by Hill, co-writer Jason Ciaramella (C for Cthulhu) and artist Michael Walsh (The Silver Coin).
“I’m always glad to renew my acquaintance with The Creep and reconnect with the gleeful gross-outs that are the hallmark of Creepshow in all its manifestations, from film to TV to comics,” said Joe Hill. “I wrote ‘Wolverton Station’ over a decade ago, working longhand while I traveled the UK by train for a book tour, and right from the start I knew I was writing a Creepshow kind of thing. It’s the story of a cut-throat dealmaker, someone who thinks of himself as quite a wolf, running afoul of creatures whose fangs are in no way metaphorical. At its dark heart, it’s a fairy tale — not one of the modern fairy tales, the sort safely sanitized by Disney for mass consumption, but the older kind of fable, the sort with teeth. That kind of story is The Creep’s stock-and-trade and so it feels exactly right that the story should be adapted for Creepshow’s pestilent pages.”
“Joe Hill continues to astound me!” added Greg Nicotero, showrunner of the Shudder TV series. “From Horns to Fireman and now this latest story, he’s created fantastic scenarios and places his beautifully crafted characters smack in the middle of them! I love everything he writes and am honored to continue our fruitful collaboration.”
