The Lugosi comic is STILL available in back-order from Diamond. It is STILL receiving great reviews and selling out at shops. This first collector’s issue has become a hot holiday gift selection. Issues Two and Three are currently being completed. Acclaimed make-up artist Rick Baker is providing the cover for the second issue. “HELLBOY” creator Mike Mignola, “30 DAYS OF NIGHT”‘s Steve Niles and more greats have stories and work coming up in the pages of “BELA LUGOSI’S TALES FROM THE GRAVE” in the months ahead.
Here is a look at a recent cover by Rick Baker for Monsterverse’s other web publication, MONSTER KID ONLINE MAGAZINE, at: http://www.monsterkid.com/
Monsterverse is looking forward to a great year in 2011 with new issues of the Lugosi comic along with the Halloween release of “FLESH AND BLOOD” from writer Robert Tinnell and artist Neil Vokes.
Diamond WILL FILL ANY BACK-ORDER to meet the holiday demand for the Lugosi book in the wake of the critics’ top reviews and growing fan interest. All a fan has to do is tell their comic shop to order it and Diamond will have it for them shortly.
THE CRITICS AGREE!
