The Chair Gets a Third Definitive Edition this Fall

Posted on by

Alterna Comics is set to debut the third edition of one of its most popular releases – The Chair. A flagship title of the company, The Chair was created, written, inked, and lettered by Alterna founder/publisher Peter Simeti with pencils by Kevin Christensen.

Witnessing savage killings at the hands of the prison’s sadistic Warden and his cruel guards, an innocent man must match their brutality and confront his own horrifying past if he hopes to survive.  Described as a psychological horror thriller that takes place on death row, the graphic novel has recently spurned a film adaptation.

This latest edition of The Chair is available for preorder exclusively through the book market via IPG ($17.99, BW, 232 pages) and is set to debut in stores this September, just in time for the Halloween season.  There are currently no official plans to solicit the book through Diamond’s PREVIEWS catalog though.

For more information on the upcoming film starring Roddy Piper, Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Noah Hathaway (NeverEnding Story), Naomi Grossman (American Horror Story), Tim Muskatell (Deadgirl), and Bill Oberst Jr. (Daytime Emmy Winner for “Take this Lollipop”) can be found at thechairhorror.com9781934985519
