Halloween Man debuts at Red 5 Comics
RED 5 COMICS & DREW EDWARDS UNEARTH THE ORIGINS OF A CULT HERO IN
HALLOWEEN MAN: VOL. 1 — ARRIVING JUST IN TIME FOR SPOOKY SEASON!
Houston, TX — June 2025 — Red 5 Comics and Ringo Award-nominated creator Drew Edwards are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of HALLOWEEN MAN: VOL. 1, a lovingly restored collection that brings the early days of the long-running indie favorite back to print. Launching in September 2025, this brand-new volume arrives just in time to kick off the Halloween season with a thrilling blend of monsters, mayhem, and heart.
This isn’t just a collection—it’s a celebration.
Marking the 25th anniversary of the fan-favorite horror hero, Vol. 1 spotlights some of the best stories from the series’ formative years. From its scrappy beginnings as a webcomic to becoming a cult sensation in the indie scene, Halloween Man has stood the test of time—delivering horror with humor, monsters with meaning, and a heart that refuses to stop beating.
Curated and written by Drew Edwards—whose genre-savvy storytelling blends social commentary, monster-movie homage, and deeply human character work—this collection features early contributions from some of the biggest names in comics today, including:
A rare crossover with Hack/Slash, penciled by David Baldeón
Early American comic pages from Nicola Scott
Fan-favorite art from Sergio Calvet, the series’ signature visual voice
Restored and remastered pages from the original files by art director April Guadiana
A brand-new cover by Nicola Scott & Annette Kwok, reintroducing the world to Solomon Hitch in true spooky style
A brand-new introduction by Academy Award-nominated screenwriter John Logan (Penny Dreadful, Gladiator, Skyfall), offering a personal and powerful perspective on Halloween Man’s legacy
Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the strange saga of Solomon Hitch—the undead everyman who battles vampires, mad science, and cosmic horror—this collection is both a perfect jumping-on point and a must-have for collectors.
“This book is more than a reprint,” says creator Drew Edwards. “It’s a time capsule. A love letter to the fans, collaborators, and weirdos who kept this dream alive. I’ve poured my heart into these stories, and I’m honored to bring them back with Red 5’s support and the incredible creative team who helped shape this world.”

ENIGMATOWN
You know the story of the child’s plaything becoming a real boy, but what happens when the real boy becomes a child’s toy? It starts like any toy’s destiny starts; it’s first beloved by its owner, then slowly forgotten, until, sadly, abandoned. But what will happen to a toy that contains a living soul? Anything is possible in Enigmatown!

SOMETHING BEYOND THE PETRICHOR
Jocelyn Alvarez's storehouse of canned goods is waning, and her stuffed turtle Quigley is beginning to panic. The world around her has been all but dissolved thanks to the constant deluge of acid rain that started a year and a half ago. Armed with a plastic raincoat, plastic umbrella, and plastic water gun filled with acid rain (just in case), Jocelyn and Quigley journey through the deadly deluge that has turned their world to dust in search of "Something Beyond the Petrichor".
