WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ZOMBIE TERRORS

"--sink your moldy mandibles into ZOMBIE TERRORS, Asylum Press’ anthology of bite-sized horrors!"
--FANGORIA

"ZOMBIE TERRORS is the best comic to be published for jaded horror fanatics in a looong time! It's a wonderful collection of zombie-chompin' shenanigans with top shelf art and writing!"
-AMAZON review

"All of the artwork is disgusting where it needs to be and the writing is easily accessible. Asylum Press did a good job putting this zombie anthology  together."
--ZOMBIEZONENEWS.com

"The graphic novel is overflowing with gorgeous art, fun stories and awesome pin-ups and it all comes together quite nicely. Horror comic collectors would do well to grab a copy, Asylum really seems to "get" horror and that's pretty damn cool. Overall this was a solid effort, well worth adding to your collection. After reading this from cover to cover, I handed it to my son to read as well. Sharing cool comics is what it's all about."
--Brian Harris, Yahoo! Contributor Network

Title: EEEK!

Issue Number: VOL. 1

Frequency of Publication: ANNUAL

Writers’ and Artists’ Names: Jason Paulos
Cover Artist: Aly Fell
Intended Audience: General Readers

Genre: Horror
Format: SC, 176 pgs, B&W with COLOR section , perfect bound

Retail Price: $14.95
Ship Date: Sept 2012

Synopsis:
This retro-style anthology of all-new horror tales is guaranteed to give you the eeries and the creepies!  Taking a pinch of black humour from EC comics and mixing it with the art stylings of House of Mystery and Warren comics, EEEK! blends a heady broth that hits you like a burning incense stick to the retina. Jason Paulos delivers the goods with over 15 tales of revenge, zombies, vampires, ghouls and monsters. Each tale drawn in a different style reminiscent of the B&W horror mags of the 70's and 80's. In 'Deadline of Death' we witness rival comic artists dabbling with malevolent forces that arrive in the form of a chain smoking goatee wearing Satan. In Lights! Camera! Murder!, A lovesick starlet and a ruthless film director embark on a doomed love affair that ends in pieces!  In "Easy Prey" A helpless girl, lost in the wilderness ... but is she all that she seems? In "Head Trip" a hippie's love for music goes horribly wrong.  Other titles include "Confessions of a Thrill Killer", "Like Son, Like Father" , "In Too Deep" and many more.  Includes full color section and sketches.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT EEEK!

"--strange characters, bizarre endings, violent murders--"
"He (Jason Paulos) captures the look and feel of classic horror comics perfectly, with more than a little Bernie Wrightson in his brushstrokes."
"--beautifully presented--"
--RUE-MORGUE

“Whether you’ve been a lifelong
fan of anthology horror comics or have yet to discover the morbidly magical pleasures found within them, EEEK! cannot be recommended enough. --I can confidently prescribe this book. However, I must warn you, side effects may include: the willies, the creepies, the spookies and the heebie-jeebies!”
--FANGORIA

“An intriguing mix of stories inspired by E.C. and DC’s terror tales of the 50s, 60s, and 70s.”
--Brent Frankenhoff
Comics Buyer’s Guide

“Short tales of terror that will send chills down your spine!”
--Rob Caprilozzi
ComicMonsters.com

“EEEK! shows us there is still an art form to
anthology horror with some of the best horror
tales this side of the new millennium!”
--Erik Hendrix
Zedura Magazine

“In the grand tradition of Eerie and Creepy,
EEEK! is an anthology that’s guaranteed to
satisfy your craving for classic horror comics.
From its time-honored parable story structure to
its homage inflected artwork, this collection
feels as though it could have been a lost
treasure from the 1970’s Warren magazines.”
--Tim Lenaghan
DIAMOND COMICS



“A fun collection of illustrated
terror tales featuring great art and a
wicked sense of humor, pulling it's inspiration
from all over the Silver Age horror comic
history map, occasionally even drawing from
50's pre-code terror and the late 60's and
early 70's Eerie Publication black and white
gore mags... Recommended!"
---Karswell
