David Lapham Drills into EC Comics’ Artists From the Abyss in December!

Posted on by Leave a comment

​Oni Press and William M. Gaines Agent, Inc. have revealed December’s Artists From the Abyss: David Lapham #1 – EC’s next artist-centric celebration of its boldest and bloodiest talents… spotlighting multiple Eisner Award winner and comics master David Lapham on December 30th!

Re-presenting Lapham’s greatest and goriest contributions to the new EC Comics canon – featuring taut tales of tension and terror penned by collaborators J. Holtham, Matt Kindt, Joe R. Lansdale, and more – for the first time between two covers, this ad-free special also features a brand-new, never-before-seen EC shocker illustrated by Lapham and co-written by Maria Lapham! BZZZ! BZZZ! There’s no swatting this one away… especially since it weighs 200 pounds and is coming right for you!

Beginning with November’s Artists From the Abyss: Charlie Adlard #1, each ARTISTS FROM THE ABYSS special will recollect a “razor-sharp” collection of EC”s “greatest slits” (heh heh) from a different maestro of the macabre – including Charlie Adlard, David Lapham, Sami Kivelä, and Leomacs – alongside an all-new tale specifically scripted for each one-shot special by a cavalcade of “all-slaughter” writing talents, including Chris Condon,​Greg Pak, and Ben H. Winters.

The first four Artists From the Abyss specials will be released monthly throughout the coming winter – stay warm by curling up and throwing someone you love onto the bonfire, while you read each of these eye-popping issues! 

The Ends has an interesting concept and direction but fumbles in the execution of it all

Posted on by

It’s 1985 and Jennifer End and Angelo Rodriguez are deeply in love. But Jennifer can never reveal their relationship to their family. The Ends are considered by some to be traditional, but by most, they are known as intolerant, discriminatory, and bigoted. Her brother, Jack, is the worst of the bunch and a full blown, hardcore skinhead. During the summer, when Jennifer travels to Oceanside, a retirement home for veterans, to be with Angelo under the guise of visiting her grandparents, Jack discovers their relationship. Jack is crushed by the betrayal. He decides it’s time to take a stand. Jack organizes a rally in the peaceful town of Oceanside. Soon the town is overrun by neo-Nazi youths. The police struggle to maintain control, leaving the only hope with the aging World War 2, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans who reside in the town.
