Space-Time specialists Brockton McKinney and Marc Ellerby will haunt you with RICK AND MORTY: RICK OR TREAT HALLOWEEN SPECIAL #1.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- This fall, Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997 – proudly presents GHOSTS, GHOULS, AND THE SCARIEST THING YET: GRANDPA RICK! From bone-chilling writer Brockton McKinney (Rick and Morty: Maximum Overture, Savage Squad 6) and macabre artist Marc Ellerby (Rick and Morty ongoing, Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter) comes RICK OR TREAT HALLOWEEN SPECIAL #1! – frighteningly funny, brand-new 64-page spooktacular hitting shelves just in time for the spooky season on September 25th!



Rick is hard at work in the garage, but Morty just won't stop yapping, so he opens up a portal and brings in a weird, gothy-looking girl named Lil Wigsley. Rick explains that Lil Wigsley will tell Morty stories if he'll shut up and listen—but these aren't just any old stories. They're horrifically banal, but it soon becomes clear that Rick and Sister Lil Wigsley's intent to distract Morty is more terrifying than the tepid tales they've been spinning!

Featuring sweeter-than-candy-covers from supernatural talents Marc Ellerby (Doctor Who), Jarrett Williams (Super Pro K.O.), and Aaron Conley (Sabertooth Swordman), join everyone's favorite Grandpa-Grandson duo in their latest 64-page nightmare- uh, adventure, as the RICK OR TREAT HALLOWEEN SPECIAL #1! rises from the grave on September 25th!
