Oni Press and the team at William M. Gaines Agent, Inc. are rotating back into combat for a powerful dose of two-fisted fury with staggering new tales of warn and fighting men in EC Comics’ next giant-sized, 56-page special: Presenting… Shellshock #1, releasing in comic book stores on August 19, 2026.
You’ve warmed yourselves by the pyres of Shiver Suspenstories. You’ve grabbed Outlaw Showdown by both red-hot barrels. And you’ve felt the poison touch of Tortured Hearts. But nothing can prepare you for what awaits, or who you will become, when you finally reach the front line where there can be no peace.
Meet mankind’s greatest enemy of all—himself—as commanding writers Julio Anta(This Land Is Our Land: A Blue Beetle Story), John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.), Benito Cereno (Invincible Presents: Atom Eve), and Michael W. Conrad (Double Walker) lead a joint campaign alongside artistic bombardiers Tom Fowler (EC’s Catacomb of Torment), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Albert Monteys (Slaughterhouse-Five: The Graphic Novel), and Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves) that will always bring enemy and ally, private and general, to the same reward in the end: a flag-draped casket and glory posthumously conferred.
Plus: This 56-page testament to fortitude also features another all-time EC classic, painstakingly remastered and restored!
“Take a journey into the deepest depths of the heart of darkness, as SHELLSHOCK showcases the most skin-crawling monster of all— humankind’s capacity for war and bloodshed,” says Senior Editor Allyson Gronowitz.
We’ve got incoming, so kiss your rifle and swallow your fear when SHELLSHOCK #1 lays siege to comic shops on August 19th – featuring shrapnel-laden covers by modern masters Lee Bermejo (Joker), Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz), Tom Fowler (MAD Magazine), Jay Stephens (Dwellings), and Rian Hughes (Epitaphs from the Abyss)!
