JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN... THE SAGA OF THE 7 GATES IS HERE!
From the creators of MASTERS OF HORROR and A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE...
Norman Boyle has been sent along with his wife Lucy and their 9-year-old son Bob to The Freudstein House, to solve the mystery of his predecessor's bloody disappearance. But deep in the dark of this eerie house by the cemetery, voices beckon from beyond and an ethereal little girl warns Bob of the terrors that await them, at the mercy of a terrifying undead gatekeeper of hell who will stop at nothing to extend his own motral life through the blood of innocents. As nightmares become reality, the body count goes up... and as darkness closes in and the Boyle family is dragged into hell, the story of Doctor Freudstein is revealed to be just the beginning of the epic SAGA OF THE 7 GATES, in which Norman's wife Lucy will discover her remarkable heritage as one of a coven of mystical sisters who may be the last hope for humanity against an evil so profound that it threatens the death of all mankind and the destruction of the entire universe, in a terrible dimension of evil, beyond the house by the cemetery...
In the early 1980s, legendary director Lucio Fulci began his celebrated "Gates Of Hell Trilogy" with a series of Italian horror films that shocked the world. In 2017, Eibon Press began "The Saga of the 7 Gates," an epic series of comic books based on Fulci's films, hailed by critics and fans alike. Now, just in time for Halloween, comes the first-ever graphic novel collection of the Saga, combining Eibon's acclaimed adaptation of "The House By The Cemetery" with more than ONE HUNDRED BONUS PAGES that continue the Saga and set up the final two chapters, also coming soon as graphic novels. BEYOND THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY is TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PAGES of never-before-collected horror mayhem, adapting the films and going far beyond them in an absolutely epic expansion of Fulci's cinematic universe, worthy of the best horror novels ever written. Only 1,500 copies have been produced, in two limited collector's editions, written by acclaimed author STEPHEN ROMANO (MASTERS OF HORROR) and with art by the legendary VINCE LOCKE, co-creator of A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE and DEADWORLD. For die-hard horror fans and followers of Fulci, this is a must-own item.

If you’re fan of Lucio
"If you’re fan of Lucio Fulci’s work you’ll be blown away with this graphic novel. Don’t hesitate in buying. The artwork is simply amazing💪"
Love it
"Great comic release from the gates of hell saga."
Great re-release of the comic
"This graphic novel improves upon the original comic run by adding a few more things to the story. It’s a great adaptation of the movie, and worth picking up. Especially to support Eibon Press since they are a small company."
Saga of the 7 Gate Begins
"The start of a trilogy from Eibon sequelising two of Lucio Fulci’s classic films from the ‘Gates of Hell’ trilogy. They already separately created a comic book sequel to Zombi 2 which is also great. This time we have a sequel to ‘The House By The Cemetery’ and as always the art and colour are excellent and immediately pulls us into Fulci’s worlds. Slipcase and bookmarks are an extra bonus and look great."

"Always an amazing experience! Thank you!!"
This includes Gates of Hell/City of the Living Dead!
"PSA: This book includes the Eibon Press adaptation of City of the Living Dead! I wasn’t able to find any mention of this online, on the cover, or anywhere on Eibon Press’s social media. But if you want the ENTIRE Saga of the 7 Gates, it’s all contained in these three volumes here on Vinegar Syndrome at a great price: Beyond the House by the Cemetery, The Beyond, and Escape from the Beyond. The House by the Cemetery comic greatly improves on the film. This whole series works to tie the saga together in interesting ways - by leaning hard into the dream logic of the films. Personally, I wasn’t as into the City of the Living Dead comic. The art wasn’t my style and it was visually confusing. I don’t think I would have been able to follow it very well if I hadn’t seen the movie first. On the bright side, the ending makes more sense than that of the movie."
