Studios series: Stuff of Nightmares.
Stuff of Nightmares will be a four-issue miniseries written by the Master of Horror himself, R.L. Stine and will feature the spectacularly terrifying artwork of A.L.

The first issue will feature main cover art from Afterlife with Archie’s Francesco Francavilla as well as a number of highly-collectible variant covers from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ Miguel Mercado, Immortal Hulk’s Adam Gorham, Wonder Woman’s Jenny Frison, and Savage Spider-Man’s Kyle Holtz. A rare variant cover done by Something Is Killing The Children’s Björn Barends and signed by R.L. Stine will also be available as well as two glow-in-the-dark covers by Francavilla and original Goosebumps cover artist Tim Jacobus.
