Michael Meyers is haunting Archie Comics characters in a fun new illustration by Matt Talbot

I have a couple of great pieces of art for you to see today featuring Michael Meyers from the Halloween series, stalking the Archie Comics characters. These characters include Sabrina Spellman, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and the black cat Salem.

The art was created by artist Matt Talbot for the upcoming horror convention celebrating the 45th anniversary of John Carpenter’s Halloween, H45: 45 years of terrorwhich will take place from September 29 to October 1 at the Pasadena Convention Center.

Prints of this art will be available for purchase during the event. Here’s what Archie Comics CEO Jon Goldwater had to say about the prints:

“When we launched the Archie Horror comics line ten years ago, we knew there was a strong connection between Archie fans and horror fans: both are an integral part of American pop culture, with beloved tropes and iconic characters. And it’s hard to think of a more iconic horror character than The Shape himself, Michael Myers. Working with our partners at Trancas International Films and Compass International Pictures to have Michael threaten our newest girls – Betty, Veronica and Sabrina – is a dream come true for all of us at Archie Comics.”

Archie Comics Senior Editorial Director Jamie L. Rotante added:

“A huge thank you to the good people at Trancas International Films and Compass International Pictures for allowing us to make this a reality; It’s an absolute honor and honestly surreal to see this fusion of worlds, and recreating the classic Sabrina the Teenage Witch cover with The Shape is absolute perfection. We’re so grateful to be working with a talent like artist Matt Talbot, who has brought these wild fantasies to vivid and beautiful life, and we’re thrilled to be making our first horror convention debut at H45. Archie Horror is poised to solidify its place in the horror community.”

Artist Matt Talbot had this to say about the creation process:

“Every once in a while, if you’re really lucky, a dream project comes along, and this was one of those times. Archie’s gang… meeting up with Michael Myers? When asked if I was willing to draw what it might look like, I couldn’t say “yes” fast enough.

“Working on this project with the Archie team was really fun. We pushed ideas back and forth, I came up with some sketches, and we chose two to bring to life. I love that we ended up creating one piece that pays homage to an iconic Halloween scene and another that pays homage to an equally iconic Archie comic cover.

“Archie Horror and Halloween are two of my favorite spooky things, and the chance to not only see them together, but draw them together? It doesn’t get any better than this!”

These two prints will be available exclusively at H45: 45 Years of Terror from September 29th to October 1st at the Pasadena Convention Center.
