Synopsis:
This retro-style anthology of all-new horror tales is guaranteed to give you the eeries and the creepies! Taking a pinch of black humour from EC comics and mixing it with the art stylings of House of Mystery and Warren comics, EEEK! blends a heady broth that hits you like a burning incense stick to the retina. Jason Paulos delivers the goods with over 15 tales of revenge, zombies, vampires, ghouls and monsters. Each tale drawn in a different style reminiscent of the B&W horror mags of the 70's and 80's. In 'Deadline of Death' we witness rival comic artists dabbling with malevolent forces that arrive in the form of a chain smoking goatee wearing Satan. In Lights! Camera! Murder!, A lovesick starlet and a ruthless film director embark on a doomed love affair that ends in pieces! In "Easy Prey" A helpless girl, lost in the wilderness ... but is she all that she seems? In "Head Trip" a hippie's love for music goes horribly wrong. Other titles include "Confessions of a Thrill Killer", "Like Son, Like Father" , "In Too Deep" and many more. Includes full color section and sketches.
EEEK! is a love letter from artist/writer Jason Paulos to the classic horror comics of his youth. Taking a pinch of black humour from EC comics and mixing it with the art stylings of House of Mystery and Warren comics, Paulos blends a heady broth that hits you like a burning incense stick to the retina.
In 'Deadline of Death' we witness rival comic artists dabbling with malevolent forces that arrive in the form of a chain smoking goatee wearing Satan. Paulos respectfully evokes the spirit of Ditko and Toth while somehow breathing fresh life into this vengeful tale.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT EEEK!----
'I loved this comic and immediately had to have the rest, sort of like a horror geek Pokemon "got to collect them all" thing. There's just something about this style of horror comic book that really works for me, guess it's the innate feeling that characters will reap what they sow. Jason Paulos really has captured an era of comic book releases and Eeek deserves to find a much larger market.'

'The stories in this collection draw their inspiration from the 'so bad it's good' school of horror. The opening story, "Deadline of Death", features two young comic artists ? one of whom makes a pact with the Devil while the other gets ironic revenge. The story comes fully equipped with 70's hair-dos and knowing winks to comic book history. There's even a witty narrator who finishes off the piece with a misquoted cliche: "Looks like a case of 'art imitates death,' huh, readers?"'

_______________
In the grand tradition of Eerie and Creepy, EEEK! is an anthology that?s guaranteed to satisfy your craving for classic horror comics. From its time-honored parable story structure to its homage inflected artwork, this collection feels as though it could have been a lost treasure from the 1970?s Warren magazines. The variety in both art and story gave me pause when I learned that the entire collection was in fact produced by a single individual, Jason Paulos.
Each story has its own distinct charm, ranging from the tongue-in-cheek dark comedy of tales like ?Stuffed,? to eerie thrillers like ?Easy Prey.? Paulos? pencil work displays true versatility, as he?s able to quickly and, most importantly, convincingly, switch styles from one story to the next. This variety in both story and art makes EEEK! feel as though it were rendered by an army of artists and writers rather than representing the work of just one dedicated creator.
With Halloween quickly approaching, readers will want to get themselves into the holiday spirit by picking up a copy of Asylum Press?s latest anthology, a collection that both new readers and horror enthusiasts alike will ghoulishly devour.
