Withoutabox Submit to Film Festivals. After Pacific went bankrupt, two final issues were published by Eclipse Comics in November and December In August , Blackthorne Publishing released Twisted Tales 3-D 1 7 in their 3-D series , with reprints of stories taken from earlier issues. In November a Twisted Tales trade paperback was released by Eclipse Comics with a Dave Stevens cover, featuring previously unpublished stories and art. With three exceptions William F. Nolan 's "The Party" in Issue 8, Dennis Etchison 's "Wet Season" in Issue 9, and David Carren 's "If She Dies" in issue 10, which was later adapted into an episode of the s revival of The Twilight Zone , all of the stories in the entire run of Twisted Tales were written by Jones, who had shown a knack for horror a decade before when he was employed as a scripter for Warren Publishing , writing for their Creepy and Eerie titles.
Jones, a self-described "child of the 50's", was heavily influenced by the horror and science fiction movies of that decade. But as noted in his editorial in Issue 1, his chief inspiration was the bloody and ironically moralistic tales of the EC horror comics. His work in Twisted Tales , often utilizing twist endings , added huge dollops of graphic violence and sexuality to the EC formula, complete with copious female nudity, making the title a definite "adults only" item; several issues sported a "Recommended For Mature Readers" warning on the cover.
Twisted Tales (TV Series – ) - IMDb
Probably the most gruesome and controversial story to appear in the comic was "Banjo Lessons" in the April issue 5 , with artwork by former underground comics illustrator Rand Holmes. A story about the murderous violence that ensues one summery day when a repressed memory is innocently triggered, it was a shocking mix of extreme gore, cannibalism , homosexuality , and borderline racism. The tale was prefaced by special commentary by Campbell apologizing in advance for any accusations of bigotry the story might spark, but readers' emotional responses to the story still filled the next issue's letters page.
In , soon after the cancellation of Twisted Tales , Eclipse began publishing The Twisted Tales of Bruce Jones , featuring science fiction, fantasy and horror stories written and illustrated by Jones.
Although the cover of the initial issue noted that it was to be "Part 1 of 2", the title was expanded to a four-issue run and ceased publication in In January , Todd McFarlane announced that he was set to produce a half-hour anthology television series for Fox called Twisted Tales , based on the comic book to which McFarlane had purchased the rights.
