Horror film director Wes Craven has turned his hand to comics, producing his first ever written series with graphic novelist Steve Niles.

Craven has co-written his first horror comic book collection, Coming of Rage, which is made up of five issues, three of which have been released as a Halloween exclusive to Amazon's Kindle reading device.

The Scream helmer has told The Hollywood Reporter how the idea first came about, saying, "About a year ago, I had the beginning of an unwritten joke come into my head: A Vampire, a Werewolf and a Zombie walk into a bar. Just that. What was the punchline? Who cares - I just liked the sound of it... My imagination went crazy thinking about what could happen when three such impossibly different characters were thrown together."

Coming of Rage is also being adapted into a Tv version.
