Two Stories, Two Covers — Twin Tales Of Terror In ‘Diabolik Double Feature’ On Kickstarter
by Brendan M. Allen
The Paranormal Playboy is back. Announcing the second installment of the Diabolik Double Feature, Professor Dario Bava: Orgy Of The Blood Freaks #2 and Gringo Loco #2, now live on Kickstarter.
Created, written and colored by Phil Mucci, interior art by Mike Dubisch and Vicente Alcázar, with covers by Robert Sammelin and Vicente Alcázar, this perfect bound, oversized, 88 page flip comic featuring two terrific stories, is available to back in one “frighteous” edition.
Professor Dario Bava: Orgy Of The Blood Freaks #2:
‘Rome, 1967: Former Vatican exorcist Professor Dario Bava enlists the aid of Sister Sadie to investigate the haunted abbey ruins where his assistant was murdered by supernatural forces of psychedelic proportions!’
Gringo Loco: The Buzzard King’s Bounty #2:
‘The ultra-violent continuation of Dead Late And A Dollar Short — 40 blistering pages of blood and bullets as Gringo Loco chases bounty killer Cyrus Caldwell into the canyon hideout of notorious horse thief Laredo El Latigo and his gang of cutthroats. Ennio Morricone soundtrack not included!’
“These stories are really about to take off!” said Mucci. “I’m a sucker for Act 1 storytelling, and I know a lot of folks find second acts in general to be more drawn out — but I love this book! Mike and Vicente have really taken these characters into their souls. It’s such an honor to see the team embrace the material and make it their own in such spectacular ways! Tons of action, monsters, incredible art, and at over 80 pages long, we really give people a lot of bang for the buck!”
The campaign is already 33% funded, with 28 days remaining. Backer rewards kick in at the $10 level, for a digital copy of Book 2. Backers can snag digital copies of both installments for $20, and at higher reward tiers, you can grab TShirts, signed physical copies, and giclée prints. For six hundred bones, two lucky backers can even have a spaghetti dinner with the creators (travel and lodging arrangements being the responsibility of the backers) at their favorite Italian joint in Los Angeles. Not kidding. At the time of writing, there’s still one of two slots open at the table. Check out the campaign here.
