Volume 1 - 1st printing. By Pete Von Sholly. The connection between cinema and comic books has been a frequently raised subject but the separation was fairly obvious until now. Veteran motion picture storyboard artist Pete Von Sholly has created a groundbreaking publication that goes further than any previous attempt to blur the line between the two art forms. While employing the time-honored european"fumetti" format, this book goes light years beyond that simple approach. Custom-sculpted models, costumed actors, and mind-boggling computer-generated "special effects" come together to create a dynamic visual storytelling format heretofore unseen in graphic novels. Von Sholly's extensive experience working on countless sci-fi and horror-genre films (The Mask, Darkman, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Mars Attacks etc.) as well as his experience as a Disney animation artist and conceptual designer come together to unveil a truly unbelievable leap in visual storytelling.The stories themselves run the gamut from tongue-in-cheek lampoons of '50 drive-in movies to gut-wrenching horror in the Lovecraft tradition. We no longer have to wait to see the future of graphic storytelling- it's right in front of our eyes in Pete Von Sholly's MORBID! Softcover, 96 pages, full color.NOTE: "Only the most skilled and committed of writers can have such an instinct for which wrong turns to take, and Von Sholly's ear for pulpy overstatement with an underlying literary truth is unerring. A-list B-movie-ism of consummate craft and sumptuous imagination; a genre unto itself. Thanks for each unholy, cobwebbed page!" - Adam McGovern of the Jack Kirby Collector"Buy these books! When Von Sholly, mad genius that he is, is committed- and he will be- they will go for enormous bucks on eBay. And if they don't, well, you'll still have one heck of a stack of hilariously funny books!" - Tony Isabella, Comics Buyer's Guide Cover price $14.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Dead But Not Out!" By Pete Von Sholly. The confluence of cinema and comic books is a frequently raised subject, but now veteran motion-picture storyboard artist Pete Von Sholly bridges the gap once again! MORBID Volume 2, the sequel to last year's groundbreaking publication, blurs the line between these two mediums even further. Von Sholly takes the time-honored European "fumetti" method to its next level with custom-sculpted models, costumed actors, and computer-generated special effects! The stories themselves run the gamut from tongue-in-cheek lampoons of classic sci-fi movies to gut-wrenching horror in the Lovecraft tradition. The future of graphic storytelling may well be in Pete Von Sholly's MORBID! Von Sholly's experience working on countless sci-fi and horror genre films (The Mask, Darkman, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Mars Attacks, etc.), as well as his experience as a Disney animation artist and conceptual designer, come together to unveil an inventive leap in visual storytelling.
