CHILLERS REACHES INTO THE DARKNESS AGAIN

Chillers, the graphic novel horror anthology based on the critically acclaimed movie from Troma Films, has a second volume of all new spine tingling tales set for national release April 17. The graphic novel series is edited by the film’s writer and director, Daniel Boyd, who also contributes some of the stories in the stand alone volumes released by Transfuzion Publishing. 

The first volume of Chillers released last year was nominated for Best of the Year in both the Shel Dorf and Ghastly Awards and tabbed as the Best Anthology of 2012 by noted horror blogsite, Decapitated Dan. The debut book in the series also gained considerable praise with Ted Brown, reviewer for Comics Forge labeling it as “easily this is my favorite horror comic release of the year so far and will be very hard to dethrone maybe even impossible...” 

The graphic novel continued in the tradition of the 1988 cult classic film Chillers from Troma Films, written and directed by Boyd, an assistant professor of media studies at West Virginia State University. “Our formula is simple: frighten and enlighten. Like Rod Serling taught us, beginning 53 years ago with The Twilight Zone, the best stories of the fantastic are those that say something,” he said. And after making more than 30 films in his career, telling stories in the graphic novel medium has been an exciting new experience for Boyd who describes the Chillers anthologies as a cross between the classic EC Comics and the powerful elements conveyed by Serling in his Twilight Zone tales.

Check out the video from West Virginia's PBS station!

 “With the graphic novels of Chillers, there is more of an immediate impact that has much more control,” Boyd said. “It allows all of the creators involved to frighten and entertain with unique stories linked by a common narrator.” In addition to Boyd, the second installment of Chillers features several other accomplished horror writers, along with some of the bests artists from around the world. 

Gary Reed, publisher of Transfuzion, said this second volume is not just a follow up to the first book, but rather just the next in the series. “Each Chillers volume stands on its own, that’s one of the appealing aspects of anthologies,” he said. “I think with the momentum of Troma re-releasing the Chillers film and the tribute album from the Buddy Black Band, Chillers is primed to continue its dark and twisted tales.”

REVIEWS:
“---Eclectic, dense with meaning, and by no means a quick or easy read, the comic takes its pleasure in not explaining the alpha and omega of its main character. The result is a character we do not completely understand with a history we cannot penetrate---in short, the most intriguing immortal in comics since Neil Gaiman's Hob Gadling." - Barry Lyga, Diamond Comics, Under the Reading Lamp

“A jewel of writing and design… a work that dares to dream…” - Lino Terlichi, Drive Magazine

“This is more than a winner, Saint Germaine is a stunning example of the power of the medium. It should be exalted." - John L. Kruze

 "… taken alternate comics into the next level of storytelling. I am in awe." - Jazma Online

"Saint Germaine from Gary Reed has to be one of most powerful things I've ever read. Outstanding, simply outstanding. They don't get any better than this." - Alicia Simmons, Fiction World.

Originally published by Caliber Comics, Inferno is a dark descent into the corrupt Stygian city full of lost souls and demons.  Helped by the seer Nostradamus and a were-girl, Jacamo struggles not only against the decadence but his own mind as well.

DAYS OF DARKNESS

From noted historian writer and artist, Wayne Vansant, comes a tale of the Pacific War from the beginning at the devastation at Pearl Harbor to the incredible victory at Midway.  The story is told via the Cahill family who were not only in the surprise attack on Hawaii but also at the turning point of the battle where the US turned the tide of the war at Midway.

Wayne Vansant  served in the US Navy during the Vietnam War, and graduated from the Atlanta College of Art in 1975. His first comic works appeared in Marvel's Savage Tales, and he was the main artist for The 'Nam (from Marvel Comics)  for more than 50 issues.  As well as doing work for Eclipse, Dark Horse, Byron Priess and Caliber, he created a series of non-fiction, military history comics called the Heritage Collection, which covered the Civil War and World War II.

Days of Darkness was originally published as a six issue series from Apple Comics and then later collected as a graphic novel from Caliber.  The graphic novel has been out of print for over a decade and Transfuzion is proud to be bringing it back in print along with a number of other projects from Wayne Vansant.

WAR OF THE WORLDS

 

Based on concepts and stories originated by H.G. Wells! The “Martian Invasion” has begun again and now mankind must fight, not only for their homes, but for their very humanity. Aliens were the stuff of legends, fairy tails, to scare children or to entertain those wanting to escape the mundane existence of their lives.  Few men took them seriously, let alone saw them as a threat.  Yet as mankind busied itself about their petty affairs, they were being scrutinized and studied, perhaps as narrowly as a scientist might watch under the microscope of the microbes that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

It happened slowly at first but by the third year, it seemed that the war was almost over…the war was almost lost.  And humanity was not going to be the winner.  Collecting the five issue series originally published by Caliber Comics.

Reviews
"I love it when an anthology comes together so well because it is not an easy thing to accomplish. Having a large number of writers and artists on a book can lead to a lot of issues unless it is done right, and Chillers is done right. Based of the film of the same name, this collection is by Daniel Boyd, the man behind the Troma film. ... No matter how I look at it, I love this collection. I read a lot of anthology titles and Chillers is quickly rising to the top of the list with the best of them. ... Overall this was a great read from start to finish. I can not wait for a sequel."--- Decapitated Dan

“In the annals of horror there are a handful on names that rise above the genre as true craftsman of cinema. You have George Romero, John Carpenter, and trailing not too far behind, Daniel Boyd.”  - The Joblo Network

A MURDER OF SCARECROWS

An Original Graphic Novel

"Reed has always been very unconventional. He doesn’t go after the quick and easy story but rather he
tells stories his way. They might not be best-sellers, but they are of a quality that outdoes most other writers."--Mania.com

Set in the dramatic days before the American Revolution, a masked avenger seeks to maintain justice in the small sea-port town of Seaton.  As the British seek to clamp down on the smugglers, only The Scarecrow and his Freedom Riders can stand for the townspeople against the tyranny of the new commandant of the town...one who threatens to destroy the entire population in order to catch the Scarecrow!

A MURDER OF SCARECROWS
From the review by Tim Jansen.

"With Murder of Scarecrows we get a pre-Revolutionary War tale of adventure along the lines of Robin Hood or Zorro. In the seaport town of Season, the mysterious masked Scarecrow and his Freedom Riders terrorize the British soldiers who prey upon the citizens of the small town. When the King sends in the hard-nosed Colonel Dreymore to bring the Scarecrow to justice, he tries to turn the townsfolk against their defender by offering a large reward. The Scarecrow knows his true identity is about to be compromised but that will not stop him in his efforts to battle the British."
