Description
4 stories, in 4 parts over 4 issues, and now in full color!
Featuring stories from Tim Bird, Luke J. Halsall, Ricky Miller, EdieOP and Owen D. Pomery, and with an incredible cover by Eleni Kalorkoti.
To kick things off, Hitchcock & Film, brought to you by Ricky Miller and Tim Bird. They continue their look at four different periods in the life of Alfred Hitchcock along with a whistle-stop history of the development of film during his lifetime for good measure! This instalment covers Hitchcock’s time as a director at the start of the age of The Talkies!
Our second strip is from EdieOP whose graphic novel Maleficium was recently published by us! You should totally check that out. In My Friend Armi, she tells another tale of mild horror, this time of a creature that maybe loves it’s owner a little too much… even by Edie’s high standards, this one is pretty twisted!
In our third strip, Luke J. Halsall and Tim Bird’s The Bullpen continues. A story set in the offices of a comic book publishing company at the dawn of the Silver Age of comics; similarities to certain publishing companies where the artists used to allegedly get regularly ripped off are ENTIRELY COINCIDENTAL. Or else it’s all done for purposes of satire, which we're pretty sure makes it legal...
And finally, we have Owen D. Pomery’s return to the characters from his hit comic, The Megatherium Club. Here is the third of his series of standalone adventures pitting the club against the same “villain”, a rival scientist who looks like he might just beat our “heroes” at their own game.
