Army of Darkness comics are based on the film of the same name, originally published by Dark Horse Comics and later by Dynamite Entertainment (initially through Devil's Due Publishing).

The stories follow the adventures of the Evil Dead series, Ash Williams, and has included a number of crossovers with a wide variety of characters such as Marvel Zombies, Darkman, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Dracula, Xena, Danger Girl, and Re-Animator.

Dark Horse Comics (1992–1993) The first comic based on the Army of Darkness film (and Evil Dead franchise as a whole) was the three-issue adaptation of Army of Darkness published by Dark Horse Comics written by Sam Raimi and Ivan Raimi, featuring artwork by John Bolton. The series began releasing in 1992, however, due to the delayed release of the Army of Darkness film (a result of a lawsuit between Universal Pictures and Dino De Laurentiis regarding the rights to the character Hannibal Lecter), the third and final issue was not released until October 1993. Dark Horse International reprinted the series in issues #1–8 in the short-lived United Kingdom-exclusive anthology magazine Total Carnage in 1993.

This series has been reprinted several times following Dynamite Entertainment's acquisition of the Army of Darkness comic rights, including a paperback in 2006 and a "30th anniversary" hardcover in 2023. It was also included in Dynamite's first Army of Darkness Omnibus trade paperback collection in 2010.

Dynamite Entertainment (2004–present) In 2004, Dynamite Entertainment launched their own series of officially licensed comics based on the Army of Darkness film, starting with a four-issue miniseries entitled Army of Darkness: Ashes 2 Ashes (which was co-published with Devil's Due Publishing for its initial release). Since 2004, Dynamite has steadily published Army of Darkness comics through miniseries, one-shots, crossovers, and three ongoing volumes.
