Death Rattle (comics)

Death Rattle was an American black-and-white horror anthology comic book series published in three volumes by Kitchen Sink Press in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

The first volume of Death Rattle featured the work of Tim Boxell as well as contributions from a number of other creators, including Richard Corben, Peter Poplaski, John M. Pound, Mike Vosburg, and Tom Veitch.

Death Rattle volume 2 was notable for being one of the few horror titles published during the 1980s, rivaled only by DC Comics' Swamp Thing and FantaCo Enterprises's Gore Shriek.

The second volume of Death Rattle was lead-edited by Dave Schreiner; the series is most notable for Jaxon's 11-part, 126-page "Bulto… The Cosmic Slug", about a space creature's effect on the people of the ancient Southwest.

Other notable contributors to the second volume of Death Rattle were Charles Burns, Charles Dallas, Richard Corben, Will Eisner, Steve Stiles, Mike Baron, Sam Kieth, Basil Wolverton, Stephen R. Bissette, Spain Rodriguez, William Stout, Joe Coleman, Al Williamson, Wally Wood, Don Simpson, Dan Burr, and Frank Miller (who illustrated the cover of the final issue).
