Archie Horror is returning with some chilling tales in Chilling Adventures Presents… Jinx’s Grim Fairy Tales, a one-shot anthology series.
Here is a rundown of the stories you’ll find inside the issue:
The issue opens with a framing story by Magdalene Visaggio (Eternity Girl)and Craig Cermak (Red Team) in which babysitter Jinx keeps her unruly charges in line by sharing some especially grim moralistic fairy tales. Visaggio and Cermak also tell one of those sinister stories, “The True Story of Cantanella.” Li’l Jinx first appeared in Pep Comics #62 by Joe Edwards back in 1946. She earned her nickname by being born on Halloween and kept up an appropriately mischievous spirit in a decades-long comics run.
Writer/actor James III (Netflix’s Astronomy Club) and Eva Cabrera (Betty & Veronica: Vixens) contribute “Suzie & the Monkey’s Paw” to the anthology, which is rounded out by “Will the Real Sorcerer Please Stand Up?” by Joe Corallo (She Said Destroy) and Evan Stanley (Cosmo the Mighty Martian).
Jinx’s Grim Fairy Tales arrives on August 17, 2022.
