Corben is to adapt other tales from Poe's back catalogue for the Eisner-nominated anthology Dark Horse Presents, which was revived in April last year.
The Conqueror Worm depicts a betrayed man who hunts down his wife and her lover only to be subjected by a gruesome puppet show based on his life.
Corben previously tackled the work of Poe with the Haunt of Horror miniseries, a 2006 title from Marvel Comics inspired by classic horror.
Edgar Allan Poe's The Conqueror Worm is on sale November 21.
