SPOOKS Hit the Web
Dedicated multimedia site launched in support of dramatic new series


LOS ANGELES, CA, January 15, 2007: Filmmaker Ryan Schifrin, creator
and co-writer of the Devil's Due military horror series SPOOKS,
announced the January 30, 2008 launch of the official SPOOKS web site,
located at http://www.SpookstheComic.com. The site will feature
original creative content, including:

• Illustrated fact files on key military personnel
• The official Department of Supernatural Defense "Most Wanted" list
• Excerpts from the first issue
• The official DOPD mission statement
• Key links, including creator interviews and the "Comic Shop Locator
Service"
• SPOOKS music by Lalo Schifrin and Andy Garfield

"We're really jazzed about the series, which hits next month, and
wanted to do something special to commemorate the launch," Schifrin
revealed. SPOOKS is a four-issue arc with a script co-authored by
veteran writer Larry Hama (G.I. Joe, Wolverine), artwork by Adam
Archer and Jonny Rench (Friday the 13th), and creative underpinnings
developed by Hama and famed fantasy author R.A. Salvatore (Forgotten
Realms, Demon Wars). The covers for issue #1 were done by Greg Staples
and Adam Archer, with subsequent covers by Archer, Federico
D'Alessandro, Bill Sienkiewicz, and even film legend Drew Struzan.

The series spotlights the Department of Supernatural Defense, a
branch of the military that "recruits, arms, and deploys specially
trained forces based within the nation's borders in support of
national security…to keep the country free of supernatural enemies,
whether their origins are domestic, international, or otherworldly."
This first limited series reveals a plot by supernatural terrorist
groups to enter the United States covertly and launch a nationwide
assault.

Schifrin, producer-director of the SciFi Channel event movie
Abominable, developed the original concept while working with film
producer Daniel Alter (Hitman). Together, they brought SPOOKS to Josh
Blaylock, president of Devil's Due Publishing.

"This is only the beginning for SPOOKS," Schifrin revealed. "We'll be
adding to the web site on a regular basis, while developing the second
story arc. We'll also use the site to make special announcements as
SPOOKS explodes into other media."

The site was developed by Frog on Top Studios, a company doing
internet and media development for the past twelve years, helping to
shape and advance the world of online media. With clients from the
Forbes prestigious "Fortune 500" list, they have become a very
successful developer and have produced a wide variety of mediums
including film, Web, television, kiosk, and gaming. Some of their more
prestigious clients include General Motors, BF Goodrich, Autodesk,
T-Mobile, Alaskan Airlines, Alpine Electronics and numerous Hollywood
icons such as Vin Diesel and Sean Patrick Flanery.

The first issue of SPOOKS hits comic book stores in February, 2008.
Each of the four monthly issues will feature variant covers, and all
four issues will be collected into a trade edition that will include
exclusive bonus features, as well.
