’68: Scars #2

Story by: Mark Kidwell Art By: Nat Jones, Jay Fotos, Nat Jones Cover By: Nat Jones Variant Cover by: Nat Jones
Price: $3.99

In the heart of war-torn Saigon, a handful of battered survivors hold Tan Son Nhat Airport against an endless army of Viet Cong and the shambling dead. Crumbling bunkers defend the outer perimeter as inside… a seething hatred builds. And in the jungle, the desperate remainders of a deep recon SEAL team meet their luckless rescuers in the dripping shadows of a tropical slaughterhouse.

As old wounds heal, new ones open… and souls are laid bare.

Creators MARK KIDWELL, NAT JONES and JAY FOTOS continue their epic of military/zombie horror in this second part of the ongoing ’68 series: ’68: SCARS!

In February of 1968, Teddy Calhoun came home from Vietnam and brought a piece of the war back with him. Through a prism of battle fatigue and schizophrenia, his vision of Nebraska has changed into a threatening landscape of violence and enemy occupation. Now, Teddy will do whatever he must to protect his family from the murderous approach of ‘Charlie’ and an army of the risen, hungry dead. ’68 Hardship is a journey into a psychological realm of hallucination, violence and undead horror. Written by MARK KIDWELL, with monstrous artwork by JEFF ZORNOW and JAY FOTOS, this one-shot is a direct tie-in with the regular ongoing ’68 series, extending the world of Vietnam/Zombie horror to America’s heartland and your own backyard.

story MARK KIDWELL, art NAT JONES / JAY FOTOS

On February 13, 1968, Lieutenant Tommy Blake led a five-man fire team into the deep jungles of Vietnam to investigate the sudden silence of a deep-cover listening post. What they found, far from the relative safety of tiny firebase Aries, hidden by the shadows of an enemy-infested rainforest and buried in the heart of a darkness known as “Indian Country” is a brutal story of violence and horror. The hungry dead have risen in the war torn hell of Vietnam and there are zombies in the razorwire?

So save a bullet for yourself.

Horror masters MARK KIDWELL, NAT JONES and JAY FOTOS are proud to present the deluxe, “re-mastered” version of their 2006 cult hit tale of military horror: ’68. Re-presented in a single-issue format matching the book’s original release, this powerful one-shot story meshes seamlessly with the continuity of the new, ongoing horror comic series and brings the “missing chapter” to a whole new generation of rabid readers.

RUMBLE IN THE CRETACEOUS

Man meets dinosaur in TYRANNOSAURUS REX one-shot from Image Comics

Berkeley, CA – 16 November 2010 – In February, Image Comics gets prehistoric with TYRANNOSUARUS REX, a one shot from Mark Kidwell (’68, Frazetta’s Dark Kingdom) and Jay Fotos (’68, Frazetta’s Death Dealer), with art by Jeff Zornow (Day of the Dead: Desertion, Halloween Comics, Fright Rags) and Fotos.

In TYRANNOSAURUS REX, man and dinosaur share the food chain. The delicate balance between the two is destroyed one fateful day, leaving one man to face the eternally deadly Tyrant Lizard. This man will risk it all to defend his village, save his tribe, and protect his lady-love, fur bikini and all!

“This project hit home on satisfying any giddy child-like fantasies,” says Fotos. “I told myself that if I could make a dinosaur comic, the main influences would be a lifetime of Ray Harryhausen flicks, the image of Raquel Welch in a fur bikini, and a heaping helping of Warner Brothers Looney Tunes. It’s all non-stop dino-carnage in TYRANNOSAURUS REX!”

TYRANNOSAURUS REX ($3.99, DEC100446), a 32-page full-color one shot comic book from Image Comics, will be in stores February 9, 2011.
