New Frazetta projects to hit in 2008!
August 9th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - Following the massive success of
Frank Frazetta's DEATH DEALER, the artistic legend has approved a
slate of new titles to hit stores in 2008.
"The overly positive reception of DEATH DEALER made it obvious fans
want more Frazetta-related titles," said Jay Fotos, editor of the
line. "Not only are we following it up with another high fantasy mini-
series by the same creative team, SILVER WARRIOR, but there are a lot
of other painting inspired stories we're going to get out there."
Joshua Ortega, the writer behind DEATH DEALER and SILVER WARRIOR,
returns first with SWAMP DEMON, a one-shot that explores the world in
DEATH DEALER, albeit 500 years in the past.
DARK KINGDOM, a one-shot by Mark Kidwell, will also explore other
aspects of the world SWAMP DEMON and DEATH DEALER inhabit, but in a
very different light. This variety in Frazetta's painting style is
far from limited to fantasy, opening up the possibility for titles
outside of the DEATH DEALER world.
Fotos explains, "One thing I love about Frazetta's library is its
variety. He's well known not only for mastering fantasy, but he also
excels at sci-fi and horror. We're going to showcase these sides of
Frank as well."
Those sides will be explored in two one-shots, DRACULA VS. THE
WOLFMAN by 30 Days of Night's Steve Niles and CREATURES by Rick
Remender. DRACULA VS. THE WOLFMAN is a visceral showdown between the
horror icons unlike any that has gone before. Meanwhile, CREATURES
will fuse Indiana Jones and 'X-Files' as Teddy Roosevelt's secret
life as a paranormal investigator has him going against some of
Frazetta's most frightening creations.
