Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein Showcased in Upcoming IDW Artist’s Edition
 SAN DIEGO, CA (July 20, 2018) – Bernie Wrightson is universally regarded as the finest horror artist of the last 50 years, and Frankenstein was his undisputed opus. IDW Publishing is proud to announce that this masterpiece of illustration will be presented in the Eisner Award-winning Artist’s Edition format for late next year.
 
As with all Artist’s Editions, each gorgeous plate will be reproduced from scans of the original art and printed at the same size they were drawn, with all the distinctive creative nuances that make original art unique – a perfect representation of the work in its original form.
 
“I’m incredibly pleased and somewhat stunned – it has been a dream of mine for years to do this book. It’s truly an honor,” says Artist’s Edition Editor Scott Dunbier.
 
In 1975, Wrightson was a founding member of The Studio, an art collective in Manhattan’s Chelsea District, alongside Jeff Jones, Michael Kaluta, and Barry Windsor-Smith. It was during his time at The Studio that he began work on Frankenstein, which was eventually published in the early 1980s by Marvel Comics. A sequel entitled Frankenstein Alive, Alive was released by IDW as a comic book series beginning in 2012 and will be collected as a hardcover this October.
 
For information on how to secure copies of Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein Artist’s Edition, please contact your local comic shop or visit www.comicshoplocator.com to find a store near you.


Creator Bio
Bernie Wrightson (1948-2017) was an American artist known for his horror illustrations and comic books. His first professional comic work appeared in House of Mystery #179 in 1968. In 1971, with writer Len Wein, Wrightson co-created Swamp Thing for DC. He also co-created Destiny, later to become famous in the works of Neil Gaiman. He worked on Spider-Man, Batman, and The Punisher, and provided painted covers for Nevermore and Toe Tags, among many others.

#SDCC: GAIL SIMONE TO OVERSEE THE FUTURE OF LION FORGE’S CATALYST PRIME UNIVERSE ALONGSIDE COMPANY CO-FOUNDERS
Top Comics Writer and Cultural Icon Joins Comics’ Most Diverse and Inclusive Universe to Define Its Future


ST. LOUIS, MO—Just over one year since the Catalyst Prime Universe debuted to much acclaim throughout the landscape of pop culture, Lion Forge unveils the next phase in comics’ most inclusive and diverse group of heroes with the announcement of the addition of comic book thought leader Gail Simone serving as chief architect of the Lion Forge universe of titles.
 
“This is one of the most thrilling things to come along in my career,” says Gail Simone. “I get to work with amazing creators on incredible new books, and everyone is simply devoted to one thing: making the best possible stories, period. That’s what I got into comics for.”
 
“While our time as a publisher of superhero titles has been relatively short-lived compared to some of our contemporaries, we have already been incredibly fortunate to count tremendous talent among all who have worked on the Catalyst Prime Universe of books,” says Lion Forge founder David Steward II. “We remain committed to finding new and interesting ways to translate our vision for these books to audiences hungry for content that reflects their own experience. Bringing Gail Simone aboard this ever-growing lineup of heroes is one of the most exciting developments since Carl Reed and I first conceived of these characters. There is no one more qualified to bring even more energy, excitement, and innovation to this universe, and we are thrilled to have her unique voice and expertise as we continue to create comics for tomorrow today.”
 
“Gail Simone brings her ability to see things from a wholly unique perspective to Catalyst Prime, with a sharp sense of wit to boot,” says Lion Forge co-founder Carl Reed. “She has penned some of my favorite runs from the Big Two, and we are honored to collaborate with such a dynamic creator.”
 
“Gail Simone’s ability to write some of the most compelling superhero characters of our time in storylines and universes that were created three-quarters of a century before her contributions speaks to her talent as a writer,” says Lion Forge president Geoff Gerber. “Her leadership on representation of women in superhero comics speaks to her fit with Lion Forge and its mission distilled in our slogan as ‘Comics for Everyone.’ It is inspiring to think what she will be able to do with the amazing team of current creators working on Catalyst Prime when we set her loose on an emerging universe conceived and executed for a contemporary audience that, from its inception, has been inclusive and entertaining.”
 
Simone continues, “I am so excited to get to help build and shape something like this. I can’t wait for new readers to meet Noble and Summit and Accell and all the rest. These characters have very quickly developed into some of my new favorites. What we are planning feels almost revolutionary. It reminds me of being a kid and discovering the X-Men for the first time, that same kind of awe and delight. It feels like Lion Forge is making comics for the future, and I can’t wait to be part of it!”
 
Gail Simone is set to appear on the company’s “More than Marketing: Lion Forge Comics Fall Preview” panel taking place on Sunday, July 22, at 11:30 a.m. in Room 8. Attendees will be given insight into Gail’s plans for the Catalyst Prime Universe, as well as news and developments on the company’s other titles and imprints.
 
Gail Simone is an award-winning, fan-favorite writer of comics and animation, having helped define characters like Deadpool, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, and Red Sonja. She also created the series Clean Room(with Jon Davis Hunt) and Crosswind(with Cat Staggs), both of which have been optioned as television series. She has long been an advocate of inclusion in comics and lives on the Oregon coast with her family.

JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN
PORTLAND, OR, 07/17/2018 — Eisner Award-winning writer Ian Boothby (The Simpsons, MAD Magazine) teams up with artist Gisele Lagace (Ménage à 3, Archie Meets Ramones, Jem & the Holograms, Betty Boop) for an all-new ongoing series—EXORSISTERS—launching from Image Comics this October.
 
“As a kid, I loved Scooby-Doo. That love for mysteries mixed with the supernatural then got me into shows like Buffy and Supernatural as an adult. If you liked those shows, you'll love ExorSisters,” said Lagace. “It's a universe full of fun and intriguing characters with many stories to tell.”
 
Did you sign a deal with the Devil? Has your fiancé been dragged to Hell? Then Kate and Cate Harrow should be the first ones you call for timely soul retrieval at a reasonable rate! But why are these identical twins so different? Is there a darker secret? Readers will find out when they pick up EXORSISTERS this fall. 
 
Boothby added: “Gisele draws both the real and surreal so well I wanted to work with her on a story that mixed the two. Cate and Kate Harrow fight against outer and inner demons because when it comes to actual Hell on Earth that can often be family.”
 
EXORSISTERS #1 will hit stores on Wednesday, October 17th.

Where the World Ends,
The Comic Con Begins

Oni Press Brings You Survivalist Nerd-dom as We Know It!

     PORTLAND, OR., July 16, 2018--Just in time for SDCC, The Long Con is under way. On July 25th, Oni Press invites you to take a look inside what happens when the world ends, but the Con culture lives on. The Long Con is a hilarious action/adventure comic for teen and adult readers alike, whether con-goers or not, written by Dylan Meconis (Family Man, Bite Me!) and film critic forThe Portland Mercury, Ben Coleman, with illustrations by webcomic artist EA Denich, colors by M. Victoria Robado (Jem and the Holograms), and letters by Aditya Bidikar.

     Five years ago, a cataclysmic event obliterated everything within a fifty mile radius of the Los Spinoza Convention Center—including the attendees of Long Con, the world's biggest (and longest) comic convention. But unknown to the outside world, the con-goers not only survived, they kept the convention going. When proof of their survival surfaces, reporter Victor Lai is sent to investigate—after all, he was covering the con that fateful day and escaped mere minutes before everything went kablooie... abandoning his nerdy pal Dez in the process. So clearly he's the perfect person for the job, and he won't get trapped inside like some kinda idiot. Right?

     “This book absolutely is a love letter to all the pop culture we hold near and dear in our dorky little hearts—it’s a book about nerds, by nerds, for nerds,” said EA Denich. “It’s a pleasure to work with an awesome writing team like Dylan and Ben, and been a blast to help construct our crazy little con world!”
