FLESH AND BLOOD WINS "BEST ORIGINAL HORROR GRAPHIC NOVEL OF 2011"!

Press release - Monday, January 2, 2012

Monsterverse's FLESH AND BLOOD Volume One garnered the top prize of Best Original Horror Graphic Novel 2011 at ComicMonsters.com for the site's third annual HORROR COMIC AWARDS! Other nominees included HELLBOY, HELLBLAZER, DEADWORLD and other major horror graphic novels released in 2011. The winners in several categories concern the BEST IN HORROR COMICS and was released on New Years Day. Monsterverse is very proud and honored for FLESH AND BLOOD to achieve this recognition from the fans of the top horror comic books in the world and the professionals producing them. Congratulations to all the winners!

The universal acclaim and praise for FLESH AND BLOOD by its writer ROBERT TINNELL and artist NEIL VOKES (and the evocative cinematic coloring by MATT WEBB) has been astounding with accolades from famous film directors, comic artists and writers. These two highly creative talents are very humbled by the attention and appreciate the passionate show of support among the fans and professionals for the book's Gothic horrors and mature telling of FLESH AND BLOOD. Tinnell and Vokes are currently hard at work on future volumes of FLESH AND BLOOD'S epic horror story (to be released quarterly) which began in the sinister shadows and candlelight glow of Transylvania with Dracula and Baron Frankenstein in the 1880s and finishes in the garish neon streets and creepy darkened alleys of swinging London in the 1970s. This is a grand masterful tale of supernatural terror with the forces of light and darkness battling across continents and time.

"FLESH AND BLOOD is wonderful! The graphic novel equivalent of the horror movies that changed our lives." -JOE DANTE (director of GREMLINS and THE HOWLING)

Director (MICHAEL JACKSON'S THRILLER, AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON) JOHN LANDIS says FLESH AND BLOOD is "TERRIFIC!"


FLESH AND BLOOD IS..."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)

FLESH AND BLOOD GN gets a stellar review from USA TODAY! "It's scary stuff, the pace is breakneck, the writing smart and the result is something you've never seen before in comic books - a vampire tale told with genuine suspense, intelligence and cinema-like edits. We look forward to the rest of the saga, but for now, Flesh and Blood: Book One, should keep you up late wishing for the Hammer-film-that-never-was long after Halloween."

AIN'T IT COOL NEWS: Monsterverse is at it again. First they dazzle with an anthology which gave a deep low hug to all things classical horror with BELA LUGOSI’S TALES FROM THE GRAVE, and now they offer classic horror fans another treat with FLESH & BLOOD #1. Anyone familiar with Hammer films should put this book on your “Must buy and devour list.”

FAMOUS MONSTERS: For fans of classic horror who feel that certain modern franchises have softened the edges of our favorite monsters, FLESH AND BLOOD has arrived to make us scared again... almost every panel has something that will keep a reader’s eye glued to the page.  This is horror entertainment as it should be, and with a conclusion that promises more gory fun to come, this is hopefully only the beginning of this incredibly entertaining comic series.

FLESH AND BLOOD Volume One begins its graphic novel series with the bloody destruction of a 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.
