It's increasingly common knowledge that while John Carpenter of Halloween, Escape from New York, and The Thing fame may have largely backed out of filmmaking in favor of composing and projects like this year's Toxic Commando, he's also working on comics. For 11 years now, Carpenter's worked alongside his wife, Sandy King, on the horror anthology John Carpenter's Tales for a HalloweeNight through Storm Comics, with Volume 12 now on its way in a matter of days.
Coming back for yet another year, John Carpenter's Tales for a HalloweeNight Volume 12 is available through Storm King Comics' website as a pre-order ahead of its November 11, 2026 release. Listed for $30 USD, the graphic novel may have arrived past the calendar date for Halloween, but for true fans, the spooky season is a state of mind, rather than one given night or cluster of nights. The graphic novel looks to be positively stunning with an impressive array of co-creators with additional high-profile projects to their names, so be sure to nab this either ahead of release or not too late after.
