The Ultimate Serial Killer Comes to Life!
Palmiotti, Gray and Caracuzzo create debut Splatterman Graphic Novella in April from Image Comics.
BERKELEY, CA — 20 January, 2010 — Two comic book creators
discover what happens when their newest creation becomes all too real
in the all-new graphic novella, SPLATTERMAN, by THE PRO and BACK TO
BROOKLYN’s Jimmy Palmiotti, Jonah Hex’s Justin Gray and The Last Resort’s Giancarlo Caracuzzo!
"Every
creator can tell you their best characters take on a life of their own,
and SPLATTERMAN shows how it can happen in the most frightening of
ways," Palmiotti explained. "SPLATTERMAN is definitely a worst case
situation of life imitating art and we’re lucky enough to have an
illustrator like Giancarlo who can combine a setting everyone can
relate to with a twist everyone can fear."
SPLATTERMAN
is the blood soaked story of two comic creators and their ultimate
horror character creation gone very bad. After receiving the publishing
deal they’ve long sought after, they soon find a strong enough
imagination can be twisted for chilling purposes. For this done-in-one
graphic novella that truly lives up to its title, Palmiotti, Gray and
Caracuzzo are joined by WANTED’s Paul Mounts, letterer Bill Tortolini
and famed cover artist Tim Bradstreet. SPLATTERMAN,
a 72-page full color with a cover price of .99, will be available for
order in the February issue of Previews and goes on sale April 28.
