It's the heat of summer in the northern hemisphere, but Marvel Comics is already looking ahead to autumn with the announcement of Crypt of Shadows #1, a Halloween-themed one-shot which takes its name from the classic Marvel horror anthology magazine of the '70s.

Other creators contributing to Crypt of Shadows #1 include Al Ewing, Rebecca Roanhorse, Adam Warren, Chris Condon, Karen S. Darboe, Geoff Shaw, Ibrahim Moustafa, and more, all wrapped in a cover from Leinil Frances Yu.
