The Rocky Horror Picture Show Comic Does Time Warp Again!
Cult Film Adaptation Collected in Trade Paperback
August 9. Transfuzion Publishing has announced the official comic book adaptation of the cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show,
will be collected and released in October 2012. Collecting the
Caliber Comics series, the full color graphic novel not only has all
three issues to complete the adaptation but also special features such
as the lyrics to all the songs, the fan club version of the audience
participation guide including a prop list, and more.
Adapted and illustrated by Kevin VanHook, the official The Rocky Horror Picture Show comic has been out of print for nearly 20 years and will be presented in trade paperback form for the first time ever.
“The Rocky Horror
comics were a great hit for Caliber,” said former publisher Gary Reed,
“and while we did a collection at the time, it was just a thick comic
with no additional material. It’s great to be able to offer all the
back material in this collection as well.” Reed is also the publisher
of Transfuzion Publishing.
Kevin VanHook adapted the classic
film during his time at Caliber. Afterwards, he left Caliber and ended
up at Valiant where he became Executive Editor and also the
writer/artist of his co-creation, Bloodshot. VanHook has also
written most recently for DC although he has established himself in film
with six pictures that he has written and directed.
The trade
paperback is available now for ordering from comic shops and is in the
Diamond Previews for October shipping, in time for Halloween. The
Diamond Spotlighted title has the Previews order code #AUG121317.

About The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Considered the greatest cult film of all time and still in limited release, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is
the longest-running film release in film history. It was adapted from
a stage play from Richard O'Brien produced by Lou Adler and Michael
White. The film starred Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwich
along with a memorable performance from Richard O’Brien.
