TALES FROM THE CRYPT MEETS DIARY OF A WIMPY KID

TFTC #13 presents “Diary of a Stinky Dead Kid” and “Guitar Demon”

TALES FROM THE CRYPT #13, on the stands in July, digs into one of the most in-demand pop-culture phenomena: the stunningly popular DIARY OF A WIMPY KID graphic novels.


The Stinky Dead Kid -- TALES’ version of the Wimpy Kid -- appears in two stories. “Diary of a Stinky Dead Kid” explains exactly how he became a Stinky Dead Kid, and “Guitar Demon” (a satire on the computer game GUITAR HERO) pits him into battle with a popular musical toy possessed by an evil entity.


DIARY OF A WIMPY KID, featuring middle-school loser Greg Heffley, started as a Web series that’s attracted more than 20 million viewers -- roughly 70,000 per day. The first WIMPY KID book hit #1 on the NEW YORK TIMES’ children’s best-seller list, and the other two in the series have sold comparably well. Fox has announced that it is developing the books into a movie.


TALES FROM THE CRYPT #13 is written by Stefan Petrucha and Jim Salicrup and drawn by Rick Parker. It’s a full-color, 48-page comic book, cover-priced at $3.95.
