Who doesn’t love a good horror movie poster or box art? We here at HGL certainly do. We also love when artists pay homage to those posters and box art. As huge comic and horror fans, we can never pass up a good combination of the two.
This week we’ve got five separate titles for you. The comics may vary in genre, but all show love to some of our favorite horror films.
