PORTLAND, OR (AUGUST 21, 2025) – THERE’S NOTHING TO FEAR EXCEPT YOUR OWN THOUGHTS! Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, and William M. Gaines Agent, Inc. are proud to reveal a first look at the story "Intrusive Thoughts” by Joanne Starer (Fire and Ice) and Christopher Mitten (Detective Comics) from EC COMICS' CATACOMB OF TORMENT #3, which goes on sale on September 17th. WHEN WE SAY IT’S TIME TO “FEAST YOUR EYES” UPON A NEW CHAPTER OF EC COMICS’ BLOODY NEW HORROR SERIES, WE MEAN IT—LITERALLY! (Wait, you only brought two eyeballs? Not very polite!)

Breathe deep and realize: Yes, this is really happening as adamantly anti-anesthesia writers Ryan Haddock (The Brothers Flick), J. Holtham (Hulu’s A Handmaid’s Tale), and Joanne Starer (Fire & Ice) join our brutally beloved host, the Tormentor, to visit violently, vivid vivisections upon our agonizing artists Valeria Burzo (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), Sami Kivelä (Abbott), and Christopher Mitten (Hellboy & The B.P.R.D.)! Hurry, these tales of fear and frightful persecution are fresher than the bludgeoned corpses in your quiet neighbor’s basement! Don’t keep the Tormentor waiting!

Tearing through your very soul on September 17th, CATACOMB OF TORMENT #3 contains horrifying covers by Mark Buckingham (Fantastic Four), Björn Barends (Ghost Rider), Jay Stephens (Dwellings), and Patricia Martín (Blood Type)!
