Cruel Kingdom

    (Oni-Lion Forge, 2025-2026)
™ and © Oni-Lion Forge

Where once a cruel universe beckoned... Now a cruel kingdom shall reign! Oni Press is proud to unveil a spellbinding new chapter in the distinguished lineage of EC history! Enter: Cruel Kingdom—EC’s first-ever dark-fantasy anthology conjuring tales of Magic, Myth, and Murder from forbidden realms long before our own! Behold the bloody and barbarous age of wizards, knights, and dragons as reimagined in the immutable EC manner as master scribes Al Ewing (Immortal Hulk), Chris Condon (That Texas Blood), and Greg Pak (Darth Vader) couple their forces with iron-wrought artists Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), Kano (Cruel Universe), Leomacs (Ghostlore), and more to forge a terrifying new vision of death, life, and adventure “once upon a time.” From the twisted minds that spawned Epitaphs from the Abyss and Cruel Universe, steel thyself for 40 pages of fatal fantasy and skullduggerous sorcery in one cursed tome of comic book enchantment!
