Storm King Comics: The Master of Horror’s Direct Line

Storm King Comics, founded by legendary director John Carpenter and producer Sandy King, is a "mind-blowing" destination for fans of visceral, high-concept horror and sci-fi. As of April 2026, the publisher has entered its most ambitious era yet, transitioning from its beloved anthology format toward premium original graphic novels and a "senses-shattering" expansion into scripted audio. At White Dragon Comics, we champion their "weird and twisted" narratives, providing high-grade copies that capture the cinematic "visual fluidity" of the Storm King brand.

The 2026 Milestone: "Cathedral"

The biggest news in the "Carpenter-verse" is the announcement of Cathedral, John Carpenter’s first-ever original graphic novel as a primary writer.

• The Preview: Fans can get an "exclusive first look" at the opening chapter in Tales for a HalloweeNight Vol. 11, available now in April 2026.

• The Full Release: The complete "senses-shattering" graphic novel is scheduled to hit shelves in August 2026. This is a "must-have" centerpiece for any serious horror collection.

Current 2026 Series & New Releases

Storm King continues to dominate the indie horror scene with "pulsating" new titles across their established imprints:

• Dead Flowers (Dark & Twisted): A "mind-blowing" 2026 thriller by Duane Swierczynski and Andrea Mutti. It unearths the "weird and twisted" secrets of the real-life Aztec Hotel, blending true crime elements with a decaying, historical dread.

• Pause (Tales of Science Fiction): The latest April 2026 release from Matthew K. Manning and Conor Boyle. This "stupefying" sci-fi tale features a striking cover by Tim Bradstreet and explores the high stakes of cosmic isolation.

• Death Mask Vol. 2: Ichor Azure: The "senses-shattering" continuation of the supernatural Hollywood thriller by Amanda Deibert and Cat Staggs, focusing on the dark price of fame and ancient curses.

• Red Riding: Rise of the Alpha Huntress: A "pulsating" new reimagining of the classic fairy tale, scheduled for release on June 9, 2026.
