Diabolik Graphik has announced a grindhouse horror comic bringing two comics together in one giant flip issue.
Professor Dario Bava:
Orgy Of The Blood Freaks #1
(W,C,L) Phil Mucci (A) Mike Dubisch
(Cover A) Emanuele Taglietti (Cover B) Suspiria Vilchez
Rome, 1967: former Vatican exorcist Professor Dario Bava, paranormal playboy, enlists the aid of Sister Sadie to investigate the haunted abbey ruins where his assistant was murdered by supernatural forces of psychedelic proportions! Hammer Horror meets Eurosleaze as a maniacal menagerie of monsters, maniacs, and revolutionary nymphos collide for a blood-curdling night of murder and mayhem — that may just change the course of history!
Gringo Loco: Dead Late And A Dollar Short
(W,C,L) Phil Mucci (A) Vicente Alcázar
(Cover A) Dave Kendall (Cover B) Vicente Alcázar, Phil Mucci
When bounty hunters come to collect the body of a monstrous stranger hanged for murder, they find more than they bargained for, unleashing a torrent of blood and bullets, propelling the mysterious Gringo Loco on a trail of vengeance and redemption.
“When I was a kid, we used to sneak through the graveyard, down the train tracks, and through a broken chain link fence into the old drive-in that played horror movies from dusk till dawn,” said writer Phil Mucci in a press release from Diabolik. “This Diabolik double feature represents exactly the kind of flicks we’d risk zombie mutilation and locomotive obliteration to see, from Satanic cults, to black-gloved killers, to hideous monsters, outrageous time travel, and yes, even nunsploitation! But it’s not just an exercise in pure nostalgia; it’s about telling stories where all of these genre tropes coexist in the same weird world simultaneously and feel like they belong there. Storytelling is a cultural relay race over time, and Diabolik is carrying the torch for all the monster-loving weirdos like us! Mike Dubisch and Vicente Alcázar evoke the classic era of Eerie and Creepy, the comic book equivalents of the grindhouse, seamlessly blending together the wild extremes and maniacal characters into a cohesive universe.”
The double-issue arrives on May 11, 2022.
