Ash is back, baby... in the groovy 1970s?! Army of Darkness: 1979 debuts this September from critically acclaimed writer Rodney Barnes. The superstar creator of the hit Image Comics series Killadelphia brings his supernatural horror chops to one of the genre's most (in)famous characters.

I loved the film and the graphic novels based on the film, so it’s an honor to add my name to the great folks that have done the books prior to this one.” Barnes is joined in this horror flashback romp b...
