300 Face Two Million, Living and Dead, in Indie Comics HORROR #1

Xerxes called his guard "The Immortals" for a reason. An army that needs no food or water can march endlessly. So begins Rob Anderson's zombie tale Immortal Resistance in Indie Comics HORROR #1, in September's Previews, Diamond's comic book preorder catalog, under Aazurn Publishing.

Anderson knows zombies. His "Rex, Zombie Killer" from Big Dog Ink, released earlier this year, is still receiving reviewer praise, from Fangoria to Newsarama to Ain't It Cool News. Kurt Anthony Krug of Comic Buyer's Guide wrote "Rex" is "solid and fast-paced, with good character development and funny moments thrown in."

When not writing comics, Anderson is General Manager of Andy Schmidt's Comics Experience and moderator/administrator of the Comic Creators Workshop online community. He was also a member of The Brutal Circle writer’s group. Rob founded Panda Dog Press in 2009. Mutant pets menace Animal Control in Anderson's upcoming Animal Control: Special Creatures Unit miniseries.

Immortal Resistance is illustrated by Dafu Yu. Explore Anderson's projects at PandaDogPress.com.

Treachery and Gunplay in Indie Comics HORROR #1

You ditch your wife for a lover and all hell breaks loose! Guns blazing, The Standard appears in Indie Comics HORROR #1, in September's Previews, Diamond's comic book preorder catalog, under Aazurn Publishing.

"Horror takes many forms and I couldn't resist this story from Glenn Møane for our first issue," said Aazurn Publishing Publisher/Editor Gary Scott Beatty. "Hitchcock-like suspense, with twists and misdirection, is hard to pull off in an eight page short story. Møane delivers!"

"Struggling Norwegian writer" Glenn Møane has released “American Sinner” with Edson Alves, “The Gathering” with Enric Simon (in Food Chain Anthology #1), and “Homecoming” with Marco Santiago. "The Standard" was published in a digital anthology through Diablo Comics Presents and graphic novel “Partners” (illustrated by Elias Martins) will soon be published by MoonShot Digital Comics.

In The Standard, artist Adrian Rodriguez portrays suburban life, gunplay and treachery with a cinematic, unfaltering eye for detail.

Møane is currently working on a webcomic project called "Lazarus Standing." A number of his noir tales dealing with crime, cynicism, and people motivated by greed and sex will be collected in an anthology with art from illustrators as diverse as Henderson and Desperado's Predrag Ivanovic.

Worm Cheese on the Menu for Indie Comics HORROR #1

When a shadowy customer makes a strange request, especially in a horror magazine, walk away. Quickly! Worm Cheese appears in Indie Comics HORROR #1, in September's Previews, Diamond's comic book preorder catalog, under Aazurn Publishing.

"We couldn't offer the first issue of a horror magazine without an ultimate gross-out story," said Aazurn Publishing Publisher/Editor Gary Scott Beatty. "Writers Terry Cronin and Pat Martin (Students of the Unusual) are the perfect choice!

Cronin is also the author of The Skinvestigator novels featuring dermatologist detective Harry Poe, available at B&N and Amazon. Martin, noted raconteur and bon vivant, is director of the horror film “Milk Maids” and co-author of the WhatArePatandBillyDrinking cocktail blog.

Worm Cheese pairs them with Joel Rivers, the Xeric-awarded creator of the western horror graphic novel “Along The Canadian” who works as a freelance illustrator and with his brothers-in-arms at the full concept house, Out For Justice, at OutforJustice.org.

Terry joined forces with Pat Martin, Jeff Hall and Bob Lizek to create 3 Boys Productions, responsible for the annual Melbourne Independent Filmmakers Festival. The team is now producing Adventure Chefs, a reality show where contestants hunt, forage and gather food to prepare fine dining for judges.

"One of Terry's talents is finding new, talented illustrators to work with," said Beatty. "Joel Rivers' expressions really push the story forward with humor and I love his chaotic panels borders. You can almost smell the rankness of the cheese."

Be careful who you accuse of witchcraft! Australian Paul Bradford presents a moody story and three Hierophantom's Poeticorner tales in Indie Comics HORROR #1, in September's Previews, Diamond's comic book preorder catalog, under Aazurn Publishing.

"Allen Byrns' smoky, shadowy art is a real treat in Witch Hunters," said Aazurn Publishing Publisher/Editor Gary Scott Beatty. "Paul's work has appeared in our Indie Comics Magazine publications before to high acclaim and we're lucky to have him contribute horror to Indie Comics HORROR #1."

Bradford also gets gothic with Hierophantom's Poeticorner pages. Illustrated, gothic poetry has been a staple of horror since the late 1700s and Bradford lives up to the tradition with three pages of creepy verse.

Originally from Scotland, Bradford was brought up on the British comics that helped twist him into the writer he is today. Now living in Western Australia, he writes comics containing a broad spectrum of themes and ideas. He has produced small press “zines” through his company Inertia Publications at http://inertiapublications.blogspot.com/.

Indie Comics HORROR #1 Haunts September's Previews

The chilling first issue of Indie Comics HORROR assaults Diamond's comic book preorder catalog, Previews, in September, said Aazurn Publishing's Gary Scott Beatty.

"We're the publisher of Indie Comics Magazine and readers can expect that kind of variety," Beatty explained. "Zombie warriors, noir crime, moody gothic, manic gross out -- it's all here in stories well told."

The #1 issue features a disgusting zombie cover illustrated by Engine's Tim Tyler, with color by Beatty. "It was interesting adding color to Tim's super-detailed line work. Every pus-filled sore, every swollen abscess, every piece of ripped flesh needed attention."

Tim Tyler is a quarter century veteran of the independent comic book industry, having been inker, artist or publisher on Faust (inker over Tim Vigil), Razor, Blood Reign, Hades, Devil-Jack, Cuda, Dreadstar, Zero Tolerance, Djustine, Shinga's Talons, Dead Crew, Manga Monthly, and more. After attending the Joe Kubert School, Tyler was discovered by Mark (Hulk) Pannaccia and hired by Pyramid Comics.

Tyler's website features his Engine series, plus a Blood Reign and Devil-Jack team-up series. To see Tim's new, original web comics, art galleries and news updates, visit user.drunkduck.com/ttyler. Danger Angel merchandise is at comic-cosmos.com.

"I like complete stories and there aren't many places to read them in comics," said Beatty. "Frankly, there aren't many comic book writers today who do well with short stories. These creators have perfected the form!"

Information about creators and a video preview of Indie Comics HORROR #1, with music by the appropriately indie Chantron, is online at IndieComicsMagazine.com.

Indie Comics HORROR #1 will cost only $4.75 for six complete stories. Like Indie Comics Magazine, there will be no huge overprint, no digital version and no back issue sales -- Indie Comics HORROR is available ONLY at your local and online comic book shops.

"The Tyler cover is just the beginning. This is the kind of modern horror we like to read. We're out to alarm and repulse. Then we go for shock and disgust!"
