Everything You’ll Be Able to Snag for Halloween ComicFest 2017!
Every year, on the Saturday before Halloween, comic shops around the world open their doors to celebrate the season with…. HALLOWEEN COMIC FEST.
Free Comic Book Day takes place each and every May, but something even cooler happens on the Saturday before every Halloween. On Halloween ComicFest, comic shops around the country unload tons of special books with Halloween and horror themes… and like Free Comic Book Day, they’re all free of charge!
This year’s Halloween ComicFest takes place on October 28th, and it features a whole new selection of 30 comics (18 Full Size and 12 Mini-Comics) geared towards all readers…
The Full Size comics have a wide range of stories from all ages, to teen, and mature ratings; whereas, the all-ages mini-comics are perfect for the trick-or-treaters in your life! The mini-comics are available to purchase in packs before Halloween ComicFest and are encouraged to be given out in classrooms and to trick-or-treaters on Halloween night.
Check out some of this year’s highlights below (which include a Halloween-themed Ghostbusters comic and a spooky Batman tale!), and head over to the official Halloween ComicFest website for full details as well as to find participating shops!

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
