ZombieBomb is Back

TP's "ZombieBomb!" Returns....TO FEED!

Terminal Press’ breakout hit series “ZombieBomb!” is back with its second killer issue, “ZombieBomb! The Feed.”

Rich Woodall (Johnny Raygun) and acclaimed painter Adam Miller return as co-editors on the zombie anthology book that’s been stirring up buzz between horror and comics enthusiasts alike since the title launched in March. With accolades from industry greats such as Ed McGuinness and Eric Powell, and a four-skull stamp of approval from Fangoria magazine, “ZombieBomb!” has proven to be fertile ground for the top talent that’s assembled to spin short tales of the undead in every 64-page issue.

“ZombieBomb! The Feed” also continues Terminal Press' collaboration with thrash metal legends Exodus. "Last Desires" is a featured story from writer/frontman Rob Dukes, who also penned the serial killer nightmare I AM BECOME GOD earlier this year and is a character in his band's own comic, Exodus: Death Begets Death.

"What's On The Menu?" Variant by Rich Woodall
With alternate covers from Miller and Woodall, “The Feed’s” creators also include Chris Giarrusso (Marvel, Image), Keith McCleary (Heavy Metal), Craig Rousseau (Marvel,Image), Fred Lynch (Random House, The Washington Post), Khary Randolph (Marvel, DC, The Cartoon Network) Chris Dahlen (The Onion), Loston Wallace (DC), Tony Donley, Josh Morrissette, Bryan White, Cheri Couillard, Alison Blackwell, Chuck Knigge, Robert Squier and John Gajowski.

“ZombieBomb! The Feed” premiered at SDCC 2010, and can now be previewed and purchased at the Terminal Press website. Faithful ZombieBombers! can get their undead fix between issues at the official Facebook page and Youtube channel, ZombieBombTV.

Elephantmen Volume 1 Gets a New Edition

THE ELEPHANT IS BACK IN THE ROOM!

Image Comics publishes revised and expanded ELEPHANTMEN VOL. 1

November sees a new edition of the critically acclaimed ELEPHANTMEN VOL. 1: WOUNDED ANIMALS TP.

Currently out of print, the new printing of the ELEPHANTMEN VOL. 1 trade paperback has been expanded and revised to include the series' sold out zero issue, painted by LADRÖNN, as well as an all-new sketchbook section by Moritat and the ENGLISH & MEDIA STUDIES back matter from the single issues!

The scribes behind the issues in this epic new edition include RICHARD STARKINGS, JOE CASEY (OFFICER DOWNE, Avengers: The Origin) and JOE KELLY (I KILL GIANTS, Amazing Spider-Man). In addition to LADRÖNN, artists MORITAT (The Spirit), HENRY FLINT (Judge Dredd), TOM SCIOLI (GØDLAND), DAVID HINE (THE BULLETPROOF COFFIN, Detective Comics), and CHRIS BACHALO (Sandman, Amazing Spider-Man) all lent their pencils and pens to this collection, and BOO COOK (Judge Dredd) has provided a dazzling new cover.

ELEPHANTMEN creator, Richard Starkings is overjoyed: "Revisiting our first seven issues -- EIGHT when you count the origin issue illustrated by Ladrönn -- made me proud. We've come so far, but so much of what we set out to do four years ago is perfectly encapsulated in this first volume. In addition to the new trade dress, which now matches the sleek and sexy graphics of volumes 2 and 3, we've added over 80 pages of back matter from the original, increasingly hard-to-find back issues, and my fellow countryman, BBC radio and TV personality and TURF co-creator Jonathan Ross has kindly provided a whole new introduction for us, so just about everything in this first collection feels new again."

"There really isn't another book like ELEPHANTMEN on the market, and that's something I'm exceptionally proud of," added Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson. "Richard has assembled a crack team of creative talent to produce one of the most unique comic book reading experiences available, and this collection is the perfect introduction to this rich and endlessly fascinating world."

ELEPHANTMEN VOL.1: WOUNDED ANIMALS Revised and Expanded TP, a full-color 312-page trade paperback collecting issues #0-7 of the ongoing series, will be in stores November 3, 2010. The hardcover edition of VOL. 1 (JAN071927) is now available, as are ELEPHANTMEN VOL. 2: FATAL DISEASES (HC: AUG082238; TP: OCT090372) and ELEPHANTMEN VOL. 3: DANGEROUS LIAISONS (HC: FEB100355; TP: FEB108471).

Bluewater Biographies Sell Out

"FEMALE FORCE: ANNE RICE” & POLITICAL POWER: ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER" BIOGRAHY COMIC BOOKS SELL OUT

Bluewater Productions' hit biography comic book series continues to sell out. Today two more titles are added to the list. “Female Force: Anne Rice” and “Political Power: Arnold Schwarzenegger”.

“A lot of our biography comic books have sold out, despite many shops still under-ordering. Readers have contacted us still trying to find our books,” said publisher Darren G. Davis. “It just goes to show that you don't have to be mainstream to reach the market. Readers just want great stories with great art, and if you can deliver that to them, they'll come back for more every month.”

We have heard from Ms. Rice who said that she “appreciates Bluewater's graphic novel of her life”.

As for a new printing, there is nothing planned for the “Political Power: Arnold Schwarzenegger” but as for the Anne Rice biography it will be available next month in the graphic novel “Female Force” Best Sellers”. The collected life stories of JK Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Anne Rice, and Charlaine Harris in this broad examination of strong women that have made a difference in today's literature.

Readers can advance order “Female Force: Best Sellers” at Amazon.com http://amzn.to/cDFb3L or by calling their local comic book shop. To find a comic book store near you go to ComicShopLocator.com.

"Each of our biography comics takes a different approach in bringing stories to life," said Darren G. Davis, president and founder of Bluewater Productions. "If you compare the Lady Gaga comic with the one on “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson or even with the Oprah bio, you'll appreciate that these books are being crafted with a great deal of creativity, research and vision…they are not cookie cutter productions.”

In the last month, “Fame: Lady Gaga”, “Fame: Kirsten Stewart” and “Fame: Taylor Swift” have sold out in record time. Upcoming titles for the biography series are comic book biographies of Taylor Lautner, Justin Bieber, Bill O'Reilly, Meredith Vieira, David Beckham and Betty White. All of them are available for pre-order.

The comic book series has drawn considerable media attention, including features on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, “The View” and “Live with Regis and Kelly.” It has also been featured in such periodicals as People Magazine, OK! Magazine, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today and thousands of blogs and other media outlets.
