Archie Comic Publications, Gemstone Publishing and Marvel Comics are joining forces with Diamond Comic Distributors to help you celebrate Halloween in style with three fun-and-fear-filled Halloween mini-comics!

Sized to fit easily in most trick-or-treat bags, these mini-comics are a great way of exposing a new generation of readers to the wonderful world of comic books that you already know about.

This year's mini-comics include Archie Comics' Little Archie Halloween 2007 Mini-Comic from Dexter Taylor and Bob Bolling, in which the Little Archie gang decides to take one last stroll through Riverdale's spooky haunted house before the mayor has it torn down. Will they discover the key to saving the house or experience the fright of their lives? Fans can find out in this 16-page, full-color comic.

In Gemstone's Uncle Scrooge 60th Anniversary Halloween Mini-Comic, readers can celebrate an important milestone in a tale by Disney comic book legend Carl Barks. The 16-page, full-color book presents "The Hound of the Whiskervilles!" which finds Scrooge returning to his ancestral home, Castle McDuck, to battle the evil menace that drove his family from its walls generations ago. A haunting Gyro Gearloose classic rounds out the Halloween special!

Finally the Marvel Adventures: Iron Man Halloween Mini-Comic boasts an all-new tale featuring The Armored Avenger from Fred Van Lente & James Cordeiro. The 16-page, full-color comic also boasts a cover by comic legend Michael Golden, and is sure to spice up trick-or-treat bags this Halloween!

Each mini-comic is offered in bundles of 25, and is scheduled to ship on September 27. Talk to your local retailer to make sure they know you want in on this fine Halloween tradition. Help your house become known as the cool house for Halloween treats.
