Over at the news site Comics for Sinners, you’ll find my review of John Carpenter’s Asylum, Vol. 1, a Mature Readers graphic novel now on sale from Storm King Productions, Inc. Writer Bruce Jones (Incredible Hulk, Batman, Deadman) and artist Leonardo Manco (Hellblazer, Hellstorm: Prince of Lies, Werewolf by Night) team up for this supernatural buddy-cop movie on paper. There’s a demon loose in Los Angeles, and the only ones who can stop him are a hardheaded homicide detective and a defrocked priest—think 48 Hours meets The Exorcist, and you’ve got a good notion of John Carpenter’s Asylum. Head over to C4S to learn more, but be warned: there’s some great but Not Safe For Work art displayed with the review.
And if Mature Readers horror graphic novels are what you like to read, then allow me to point you to Lorelei: Sects and the City, the StarWarp Concepts graphic novel that stars a soul-stealing succubus in battle with a cult of Elder God worshipers attempting to unleash hell on Earth. This critically acclaimed adventure is written by Steven A. Roman (that’s me), and illustrated by Eliseu Gouveia (Vengeance of the Mummy), Steve Geiger (Web of Spider-Man), and Neil Vokes (The Black Forest), with a cover by legendary artist Esteban Maroto (Vampirella). Visit the Lorelei: Sects and the City product page for all the ordering information, as well as sample pages.

Right on the heels of my last post, in which I discussed the use of legendary painter Bob Larkin’s Doc Savage artwork in faux superhero covers at the site Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues, comes some great Larkin-related news for horror movie fans!
First it was
Matched up with Bob for these covers are Captain America by John Cassaday (Star Wars, Planetary, Astonishing X-Men) and Hawkman by…I don’t know; I don’t recognize the image, and the site doesn’t list the artist. (Then again, they don’t list Bob’s name for any of his work on the site; they seem to think it’s by Joe Jusko. Bob was one of Jusko’s mentors/inspirations.) There are other entries featuring Bob’s paintings—for example, one of his Planet of the Apes covers combined with a Jusko Hulk, and a Nick Fury image matched with James Bond (by Robert McGinnis?), Doc Savage, Indiana Jones (by Dave Dorman?), and Batman—so visit Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues for all the comic book team-ups you’ve dreamed about seeing. Since the site’s constantly being updated, if the team-ups you’re looking for aren’t there, it’s probably only a matter of time before they show up!
