The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Ominous Omnibus Vol. 1: Scary Tales & Scarier Tentacles is the first of three volumes collecting the complete comic series by creator Matt Groening, packaged in a deluxe, die-cut slipcase that glows in the dark.

The Treehouse of Horror started as an annual Halloween tradition on The Simpsons, beginning during the second season in 1990. In fall 1995, the first of 23 comics were produced by Bongo, telling new stories written and illustrated by some of the biggest names in comics, including Michael Allred (Madman), Sergio Aragonés (MAD magazine), Kyle Baker (Nat Turner), Jeffrey Brown (Star Wars: Darth Vader and Son), and Jill Thompson (Scary Godmother), as well as celebrities such as Mark Hamill, Thomas Lennon, and Patton Oswalt.

Collected for the first time in a deluxe hardcover slipcase with an all-new die-cut cover, these award-winning comics place the world’s most beloved animated family in exciting horror, science-fiction, and supernatural settings, making this series the perfect gift for the Halloween season and Simpsons fans of all ages.

“400 winking, colorful pages of Simpsons comics, some drawn by Chicago’s Jeffrey Brown and Jill Thompson, some written by Mark Hamill and Patton Oswalt.” —Chicago Tribune

“The ideal gift for any Simpsons superfan, Scary Tales has plenty of laughs, gags, and big-name authors from comics (Gail Simone, Stan Sakai, Mike Allred) and the wider entertainment world (Mark Hamill, Patton Oswalt, Lemmy)—plus the requisite appearances from Kang and Kodos, of course.” —AV Club, Holiday Gift Guide 2022
