INTERNATIONALLY RENOWN COMIC ARTIST JOHN CASSADAY PRAISES "FLESH AND BLOOD" GRAPHIC NOVEL

PRESS RELEASE - FLESH AND BLOOD SHIPPING - COMICS ARTIST/DIRECTOR JOHN CASSADAY PRAISES BOOK ONE!

(Los Angeles) Tuesday, October 11, 2011 - MONSTERVERSE ENTERTAINMENT

FLESH AND BLOOD: "A top-notch package from cover to cover loaded with unexpected surprises along the way, which unfortunately seems almost a lost art in the genre. Great gothic fun in the tradition of the best of the Hammer films." -- John Cassaday (PLANETARY, ASTONISHING X-MEN, DIRECTOR - DOLL HOUSE TV SERIES)

MONSTERVERSE's FLESH AND BLOOD is a four-book new series of MATURE horror graphic novels written by Robert Tinnell and illustrated by Neil D. Vokes.

Book One is shipping to comic shops now and will be available in time for Halloween! It is still available for order from Diamond. Contact Monsterverse at info@monsterverse.com  if you have difficulty obtaining FLESH AND BLOOD or any Monsterverse book.

A FLESH AND BLOOD horror teaser trailer with special images featuring the greatest icons of gothic horror is available for viewing on YouTube!

The stunning cover for FLESH AND BLOOD is by the universally praised horror artist Dan Brereton (NOCUTURNALS).

Brereton's beautiful painting is a perfect match for the superb work exhibited inside the first volume of MONSTERVERSE's FLESH AND BLOOD, a four-book new series of horror graphic novels written by Robert Tinnell and illustrated by Neil D. Vokes (THE BLACK FOREST and THE WICKED WEST).

Unleashed to comic shops and bookstores this Halloween!

This story for mature readers is the horror movie that you always wished to see but never knew it until this graphic novel was created! It ties all the terrifying action and Gothic erotic romance that genre fans love about literature's iconic horror characters into one truly epic graphic novel series.

FLESH AND BLOOD Volume One begins with the bloody destruction of the legendary vampire, the darkly seductive Carmilla. Her death ignites an epic firestorm of events that draws the greatest icons of Gothic horror into battle across the lush backdrop of 19th century Europe. At the center of this ghastly conflict Baron Victor Frankenstein is forced to merge his diabolical scientific prowess with the black arts of a terrifying supernatural world. This unholy war between light and darkness will not be measured in months or years but across centuries of horror and devastation until one force reigns triumphant. Vampires, werewolves and scientific monsters are unleashed like nothing seen before in film, comics or literature.

As Amicus, Hammer, AIP and other studios enlarged upon the Universal horror canon bringing a sexier maturity to the world's most terrifying monsters along with a more realistic savagery to the violent action, FLESH AND BLOOD brings a modern update to these classic creatures.

MONSTERVERSE and FLESH AND BLOOD INVADE LA!
