Waxwork Records is launching a brand new entity aimed at the horror comic audience with Waxwork Comics! Each issue will be an anthology comic assembled by, “…an outstanding team of the best writers and your favorite artists in an effort to form a new company specializing in a fresh take on the horror-inspired comic.”
The inspiration for this outfit were magazines like Creepy, Eerie, and the EC Comics of Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror. According to Waxwork, “Readers can expect all-new tales of the occult, monsters, voodoo, witchcraft, vampires, and more!”
As this wasn’t already cool enough, here’s where things go overboard: Each issue will come with an exclusive colored 7″ vinyl record that features “original soundtracks” to the stories in the magazine! Also, the comic series will introduce a new horror comic icon in the form of The Projectionist, “…an undead film fanatic who resides in the theater’s attic.” The Projectionist will take, “…readers [to] a mysterious movie theater where they will be shown a double-feature of weird and wild genre films that may have been and never were.”
The first title, “House of Waxwork”, will be released in the first quarter of 2016.
