![]() The EC comics line which Bergeron is modelling his new venture on was published in the 1940s and 1950s and was typified by their gory content and graphic horror. We are doing that by creating new stories, new art, new music, new characters, working with new talent. Bergeron said in an interview last month: “We have writers on board that have worked with Dark Horse, Vertigo, DC, Marvel, IDW, BOOM!, Image, everyone.”Īiming for a February release date for House of Waxwork #1, Bergeron added: “We really want Waxwork Comics to be fresh and extremely exciting. Waxwork say they have assembled “an outstanding team of the best writers and your favourite artists”. ![]() The new Waxwork Comics range is set to launch next month with the first title, House of Waxwork, which will be an anthology comic modelled on the classic EC horror comics of yore such as Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror.Īnd each comic will come with an exclusive original “soundtrack” to the collection of stories on 7-inch coloured vinyl.Īccording to Waxwork founder Kevin Bergeron, the anthology will include “all-new tales of the occult, monsters, voodoo, witchcraft, vampires and more.” The New Orleans-based label has made a name for itself with its lavishly packaged vinyl releases of soundtracks from classic and contemporary horror movies, and now they’re pushing more buttons than a mad scientist in a storm-wracked garret with imminent arrival of their very own comic book line. In fact, if you drew up a Venn diagram for collectors and geeks with a circle each for vinyl records, horror movies and comic books, then Waxwork would sit right in the overlap. So it’s a pretty crowded market, but there’s always room for one more … especially with the USP that a new comics line from Waxwork Records is offering. Even the wholesome old Archie line has been getting in on the act with a series of dark titles based on their characters, featuring a Sabrina who’s more black magic than teen witch, and a zombified Jughead.
