C2E2:
ALEX DE CAMPI’S
GRINDHOUSE:
DOORS OPEN AT MIDNIGHT!
An
Eight-Issue Series Comprised of Four 48-Page
Stories!
APRIL 28,
CHICAGO, IL—From the floor of C2E2, Dark Horse announces a book that was almost
too much for the editorial team! Eisner
nominee Alex de Campi (Smoke, Ashes) headlines a B-movie comic
masterpiece in Grindhouse: Doors Open at Midnight!
With
covers
by superstar artists Francesco Francavilla, Dan Panosian, and Coop, this series
is excessive, gratuitous and tasteless—just like you love it.
Literature:
overrated. Morality: expendable. Tonight is right for some over-the-top sex and
violence! Bringing the flavor of midnight exploitation flicks to comics,
Grindhouse delivers four two-issue gore operas, starting with the Chris
Peterson-drawn “Bee Vixens from Mars,” pitting a one-eyed southern Latina deputy
against lusty alien chicks bent on laying eggs in the entire male
population!
Future
arcs include “Prison Ship Anteres,” featuring art from Simon Fraser (2000
AD); “Bride of Blood,” with art by Federica Manfredi (True Blood,
Hack/Slash); and “Flesh Feast of the Devil Doll,” with art by Gary
Erskine (The Mask)!
“Grindhouse
is the comic your mother warned you about. Seriously. You know when grownups
told you comics were filthy, immoral trash? They were talking about this comic
specifically,” states Alex de Campi. “Books like Grindhouse were the
reason the Comics Code was invented. And if you’re in a very conservative or
evangelical part of the US, you should be careful where you read it. Each story
is two issues of solid gore, gratuitous nudity, and over-the-top badassery. It’s
filthy. It’s violent. It’s really, really fun.”
“Bee Vixens”
colorist Nolan Woodard added, “You do
know I colored 28 Days Later, and this is still way more blood,
right?”
Grindhouse:
Doors Open at Midnight #1 is on sale October 2 in comic shops
everywhere (where it’s not outlawed)!
