Project #1: Doctor Zomba’s Ghostly Tales
What it’s about: Doctor Zomba’s Ghostly Tales is a classic horror anthology by Tinseltown creator David Lucarelli in the vein of E.C. Comics and The Twilight Zone with a modern edge! Three terrifying tales, from the past, the present, and an uncertain future hosted by Doctor Zomba and the characters from David Lucarelli’s award-winning spook show revival Doctor Zomba’s Ghost Show with art by Kyle Roberts, Anna Wieszczyk, Tinseltown’s Henry Ponciano, and Brandon Perlow. Ghostly Tales is a 42-page full-color double-sized floppy comic book with a FREE GHOST inside every issue, but be warned: Everyone who buys this comic will die!

Project #2: The Locksmith #6
What it’s about: The final volume of this epic noir/sci-fi series, where a Detective struggles to free his guilt-ridden soul from an eternal battle with itself.
Detective Mick Fagan is about to come face to face with his worst enemy: Himself. Imagine if Raymond Chandler wrote 2001: A Space Odyssey… Now, flip that on its head and smash it into an infinite number of metaphysical pieces. Who is driving the narrative in this story? The Detective always had the answer. But do you?
This mind-bending noir/sci-fi adventure dives deep down the rabbit (or black) hole, where all time and consciousness exists, simultaneously. Being the Last Man on Earth doesn’t have many perks… Especially when The Detective discovers The Demon he has been battling for the past thousand or so years (um Eternity?), may in fact be, his own guilt-ridden soul.
If you’re a fan of Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, Brian K. Vaughan, Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury… You just might be a fan of The Locksmith.

Project #3: The Long Death
What it’s about: What if Hansel & Gretel walked into the woods and found a nightmare worse than a witch?
The Long Death tells the tale of two children, Victor and Iris, who escape a city decimated by plague. Their hope is to find safety in West Arcanshire, but for two hungry children, it will be no easy journey. Along the way, Victor smells a savory stew, and can’t help but follow the scent. Instead of nourishment, he finds a farmhouse that holds a dark secret: What gets cleaved on the chopping block, gets cooked in the kitchen.
The horror behind what that might be is the question in this fable of corruption within the adult world. What starts with the inhabitants of the farmhouse, The Butcher and The Old Crone, leads all the way to the authorities of West Arcanshire.
