Out now: CATACOMB OF TORMENT #2.

The latest issue of the EC Comics/Oni Press anthology features my first new comics work in years. My script for the story "Red Blend" was illustrated by Lukas Ketner, colored by Francesco Segala with Sabrina del Grosso and lettered by Tyler Smith c/o Richard Starkings.

The main cover is by Ariel Olivetti (above). There are multiple variant covers including one by Lukas Ketner and an EC homage by Jay Stephens.

I'll be posting more pages along with the script in a few weeks for my Patreon backers at the $5 tier and up. You can pick up Catacomb of Torment #2 at better and creepier comic shops (creepy in a positive way, not the Joe's Fantasy World way) and online shops.

If anyone has already picked up the comic, my sincere and heartfelt thanks. I hope you liked it, and our story. Lukas and I will be back in November with our second story, "Necronomicomicon", appearing in Catacomb of Torment #5.

Cartoon Heroes Paper Cut-Outs

The Secret Saturdays

Created by Jay Stephens for Cartoon Network, The Secret Saturdays is an action/adventure animated series featuring a family of cryptozoologists known as the Saturdays.  This family, composed of Doc and Drew Saturday and their 11-year-old son, Zak, travel the globe seeking out cryptids.  The Saturdays are members of the Secret Scientists, a global organization with the goal of studying and safeguarding fields of science considered too dangerous to be revealed to the general public.

As the foremost experts in cryptids, the Saturdays are responsible for studying and protecting cryptids around the world, while also keeping their existence a secret from the rest of humanity so to avert cryptid-related threats. The Family is aided in their work by young Zak’s burgeoning psychic abilities that enables him to psychically connect to and communicate with cryptids. 

The Saturdays are opposed by various villains who seek to hurt cryptids or use them to gain powers.  Their greatest adversary is the mysterious V.V. Argost who seeks the Kur Stone, a Sumerian artifact that can lead its wielder to the location of Kur, an allegedly all-powerful cryptid.   

The voice cast for the series includes Sam Lerner, Phil Morris, Nicole Sullivan, Will Friedle, Corey Burton and Diedrich Bader.  The Secret Saturdays premiered in October of 2008.  It ran for two seasons and featured cross over episodes with Ben 10: Omniverse and O.K.K.O. Let's Be Heroes.

The Secret Saturdays' rogues gallery and both Munya & V.V. Argost! I took them with Camscanner rather than the normal camera I use. I downloaded it yesterday and they look pretty gorgeous! The images I meant, not the characters themselves. ☺️

Catacomb of Torment #5 by Christopher Cantwell, Lukas Ketner, Dan McDaid, Evan Dorkin, Paul Tobin and PJ Holden. Cover by Mark Buckingham. Variant covers by (2) Naomi Franquiz and (3) Jay Stephens. Out in November.

"Feeling the rusty shears of eager anticipation as they coarsely cut away your tendons of dread? You've come to the right place... because EC Comics is serving another tortuous session of frightful delights with the CATACOMB OF TORMENT! Prepare to be mortified—literally—as manacled writers Christopher Cantwell (Out of Alcatraz), Evan Dorkin (Beasts of Burden), and Paul Tobin (The Witcher) are forced to turn the crank and twist the tension-wracked fingertips of artists PJ Holden (2000 AD), Lukas Ketner (Count Crowley), and Dan McDaid (Epitaphs from the Abyss) into blood-spattered spectacle! Sound like fun? Our beloved host, the Tormentor, sure thinks so!"
