Bluewater's popular gothic horror series, Vincent Price Presents, has been featured in Fangoria, Horror Hound, and Rue Morgue. The comic series will now include Price’s iconic movie roles such as The Abominable Dr. Phibes, The Tingler, and House of Usher."What most people do not realize about this series is these stories are one shots," said Publisher, Darren G. Davis. "Each of the 24-page comics is set up like an episode of the Twilight Zone. It makes every issue a great place for new readers to jump into the series."
One of classic Hollywood's most famous scary men, Vincent Price made a name for himself in classic mysteries and thrillers throughout the 1940's, 50's, and 60's. Now, Vincent Price Presents is Bluewater Productions' first ongoing monthly series. The series features some of Price's films as well as new tales developed in conjunction with his estate. Welcome back to the macabre world of Vincent Price!
Pat Broderick,best known for his work on the Mirconauts, is penciling Vincent Price Presents. Broderick also penciled the four-part Batman: Year 3 story line, written by Marv Wolfman, which detailed the first meeting of Batman & Tim Drake, as well as DC Comics' The Fury of Firestorm and Captain Atom.
"Being a 55 year old adult, I grew up with Vincent Price," Broderick said. "His tremendous body of work entertained a young man who was lucky enough to be allowed to stay up past midnight to watch all of his classic horror movies. Those were the best: no hacking, no guts in your face. When Bluewater offered me this I knew that it would be fun. I approached the storytelling in a widescreen story-boarding format, which is perfect for this [project]."
Mark L. Miller who will be writing The Tingler has been reviewing comics online under the pseudonym, Ambush Bug. Mark's short comic fiction has been published in Cream City Comics' Muscles and Fights 3 and it's spin-off, Muscles and Frights.
Mel Smith & Clark Castillo, the creative team behind Image Comics' Dead Ahead series, developed one of the two sequels featuring the cult character, Dr. Phibes. Adriano, who developed a graphic novel featuring Baron Münchausen, created the other Dr. Phibes story.
