ASYLUM PRESS RELEASES RETRO-HORROR ANTHOLOGY EEEK! JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN (Los Angeles) Asylum Press announces the release of an all-new horror anthology entitled EEEK! by creator Jason Paulos. Shipping in Sept. 2010 it’s just in time to shake your bones for the Halloween season. EEEK! is a homage from artist/writer Jason Paulos to the classic horror comics of his youth. Taking a pinch of black humour from EC comics and mixing it with the art stylings of House of Mystery and Warren comics, Paulos blends a heady broth that hits you like a burning incense stick to the retina.
''EEEK!' is my love letter to cheesy 'retro' horror comics” say creator Jason Paulos,”... in particular Charlton, House of Mystery, Warren, and to a lesser extent 80's stuff like Death Rattle and Twisted Tales. If you made a movie of 'EEEK!' it would be described as the bastard child of Evil Dead and Austin Powers. One of the story titles is 'Death Wears Hotpants', so you can draw your own conclusions from that.” “We’re very excited to have EEEK! Join the ranks of the horror titles we have brewing at Asylum Press,” explains publisher Frank Forte, “ Jason Paulos has a knack for bringing bringing back those morbid feelings I got when I read the old Eerie and Creepys, but he does it with a new twist.” EEEK! VOL. 1 will be a soft cover TPB annual anthology. Standard comic book dimensions. 152 pgs, B&W with COLOR section , perfect bound. Retail Price: $14.95. Ship Date: Sept 2010. Intended Audience: General Readers. ISBN13: 978-1-61724-010-2 Writers:Jason Paulos, Bodine Amerikah, Daren White Cover Artist: Aly Fell This retro-style comic book anthology of all-new horror tales is guaranteed to give you the eeries and the creepies! Taking a pinch of black humour from EC comics and mixing it with the art stylings of House of Mystery and Warren comics, EEEK! blends a heady broth that hits you like a burning incense stick to the retina. Jason Paulos delivers the goods with over 15 tales of revenge, zombies, vampires, ghouls and monsters. Each tale drawn in a different style reminiscent of the B&W horror mags of the 70's and 80's. In 'Deadline of Death' we witness rival comic artists dabbling with malevolent forces that arrive in the form of a chain smoking goatee wearing Satan. In Lights! Camera! Murder!, A lovesick starlet and a ruthless film director embark on a doomed love affair that ends in pieces! In "Easy Prey" A helpless girl, lost in the wilderness ... but is she all that she seems? In "Head Trip" a hippie's love for music goes horribly wrong. Other titles include "Confessions of a Thrill Killer", "Like Son, Like Father" , "In Too Deep" and many more. Includes full color section, cover gallery and sketchbook section. EEEK! Preview can be seen on the web here: Official website Asylum Press can be found on the web at: http://www.asylumpress.com/ QUOTES 'The stories in this collection draw their inspiration from the 'so bad it's good' school of horror. The opening story, "Deadline of Death", features two young comic artists – one of whom makes a pact with the Devil while the other gets ironic revenge. The story comes fully equipped with 70's hair-dos and knowing winks to comic book history. There's even a witty narrator who finishes off the piece with a misquoted cliché: "Looks like a case of 'art imitates death,' huh, readers?"' “A fun collection of illustrated terror tales featuring great art and a wicked sense of humor, pulling it's inspiration from all over the Silver Age horror comic history map, occasionally even drawing from 50's pre-code terror and the late 60's and early 70's Eerie Publication black and white gore mags... but probably most reminiscent of 80's indie comic titles like Gore Shriek and Twisted Tales. Recommended!"
ABOUT ASYLUM PRESS: ABOUT JASON PAULOS Jason Paulos exploded onto the Australian comics scene in 1989 with the first self published issue of 'Hairbutt The Hippo', the story of a hard boiled anthropomorphic private eye roaming the seedy underbelly of a future city.
