VINCENT PRICE PRESENTS GOES TO THE MOVIES AND GETS NEW BLOOD.

Bluewater's popular gothic horror series "Vincent Price Presents" has been featured in “Fangoria”, “Horror Hound” and “Rue Morgue”. The comic series will now include Price’s iconic movie roles such as "DR Phibes," "The Tingler" and "House of Usher".

"What most people do not realize about this series is these stories are one shots,” said Publisher Darren G. Davis "Each of the 24-page comics is set up like an episode of the “Twilight Zone”. It makes every issue a great place for new readers to jump into the series”.

Bluewater's series “Vincent Price Presents” is described as: One of classic Hollywood's most famous scary men, Vincent Price made a name for himself in classic mysteries and thrillers throughout the 1940's, 50's and 60's. Now Vincent Price Presents comes to Bluewater Productions as their 1st ongoing monthly series. The series will feature some of Price’s films as well as developing new frightening ones with his estate. Welcome back to the macabre world of Vincent Price.

Pat Broderick is penciling new issues of “Vincent Price Presents”. Broderick is best known for his work on the Mirconauts. Broderick also penciled the four-part Batman: Year 3 story line, written by Marv Wolfman, which detailed the first meeting of Batman & Tim Drake. Also has penciled for other DC Comics titles “The Fury of Firestorm” and “Captain Atom”.

“Being a 55 year old adult I grew up with Vincent Price”. Said artist Pat Broderick, “His tremendous body of work entertained a young man who was lucky enough to be aloud to stay up past midnight to watch all of his classic horror movies. Those were the best, no hacking, no guts in your face. When Bluewater offered me this I knew that it would be fun. I approached the storytelling in a wide screen story boarding format, which is perfect for this story”

Mark L. Miller who will be writing “The Tingler” has been reviewing comics for “Ain't It Cool News.com” under the penname Ambush Bug. Mark's short comic fiction has been published in Cream City Comics “Muscles and Fights 3” and it's spin-off Muscles and Frights”.

Mel Smith & Clark Castillo who are the creative team behind Image Comics
"Dead Ahead" series has developed one of the two sequels featuring the cult character “DR. Phibes”. Adriano, who developed a graphic novel featuring Baron Münchausen, created the other “DR Phibes” comic.

“Vincent Price Presents” #5 will be in stores this month with a cover by Joel Robinson. In April, “Vincent Price Presents: Gallery of Terror” one-shot which features images of classic gothic horror icon Vincent Price.
