CRUEL KINGDOM, the first dark fantasy anthology series from EC, features a variety of spellbinding tales from some of the most talented – and twisted – names in comics, including Eisner Award-winning master of horror Steve Niles (Criminal Macabre) and skull-splitting artist Andrea Mutti (Rebels) as EC gives us a front row seat for the signature sporting event of the 18th century – the witch trial – in “Hammer of Witches”:
