In January 2005, McFarlane announced that he was set to produce a half-hour anthology television series for Fox called Twisted Tales, based on the comic book. Believing that the deal included the names of the Jones/Campbell apologies, he teased a series called Todd McFarlane's Twisted Tales in the 1998 one-shot Total Eclipse however, the comic would never appear. įollowing Eclipse's bankruptcy in 1995, the company's assets were purchased by Todd McFarlane. However, only a single issue of the new Twisted Tales - featuring a cover by Dave Stevens - would appear, in November 1987. The deal also covered a similar format for Alien Worlds, Jones' superhero series Man of War and supernatural detective series Hand of Fate. The title was resurrected as a bi-annual prestige format ongoing by Jones under his Bruce Jones Associates packaging company, to be published once again through Eclipse.

In August 1986, Blackthorne Publishing released Twisted Tales 3-D #1 (#7 in their 3-D series), with reprints of stories taken from earlier issues meanwhile Eclipse would publish The Twisted Tales of Bruce Jones, reprinting various material. The replacement for Twisted Tales was Tales of Terror while Jones occasionally contributed to the new anthology it featured numerous other writers. After publishing two further editions, Eclipse announced they wouldn't be continuing Twisted Tales or Jones and Campbell's fellow anthology Alien Worlds, instead replacing them with their own titles, with the sexual content reduced. After Pacific went bankrupt, the titles were taken over by Eclipse. Twisted Tales was published on a bi-monthly schedule by Pacific Comics from November 1982 to May 1984, running for eight issues. The title was edited by Bruce Jones and April Campbell. Twisted Tales was a horror comics anthology published by Pacific Comics and, later, Eclipse Comics, in the early 1980s.
