The comic book series from Dark Horse comics were only 3 issues printed over the course of 11 months and they are like gold dust today. Written by Sam Raimi and Ivan Raimi with artwork by John Bolton this series is no longer available to buy from Dark Horse and can only be found on eBay or through rare comic collector sites/stores.

If you want these I'm afriad you're just gonna have to go to a search engine and be very very patient. Detailed below are the covers for the three issues and a promotional poster released in the Autumn of 1992. For the latest 2004 Army comics see bottom of this page.

Ash gets a do-over" to set right a new problem caused by his misspeaking those notorious MAGIC WORDS and is charged with the unusual task of returning to a certain CABIN IN THE WOODS on the fateful night he first learned of the existence of DEADITES and The Book of the Dead - in order to make certain the events that led up to Ash's initial trip to the past take place - only THIS time, the Deadites will be waiting for him!

ISSUE TWO:

Ash also comes face-to-face with ANOTHER face from the past . . . HIMSELF! It's ASH vs. ASH as the wielder of the BOOMSTICK must force his OTHER self to enter the TIME VORTEX that will bring him to 1300 AD and set into motion events that should thwart the evil designs of the BOOK OF THE DEAD. All this, and the RETURN of ASH'S SEVERED HAND, baby!

ISSUE THREE:
Published on
September 2004

In this issue, the adventure really begins to heat up ? literally ? as ASH and the WISEMAN, with NECRONOMICON in (severed) hand, must cross the desert wastelands of sunny Egypt in the hopes of thwarting The Book of the Dead?s plans to plunge the world into DARKNESS.

But, the Necronomicon proves it still has a few tricks up its sleeve, when Ash?s severed hand joins with an ancient mummy to become EVIL EGYPTIAN ASH!

Also in this issue: the return of SHEILA, ARTHUR, and HENRY THE RED! And, the DEATH of a beloved character!

Too MUCH for one S-Mart employee to handle? Don?t BET on it, baby!
