We caught up with publisher, Frank Forte to talk about Zombie Terrors.
Horror News Network: Can you give our readers the story titles, creative team and a synopsis of each story, in Zombie Terrors?
Frank Forte: Sure. We're calling it Zombiue Terrors, an Anthology of the Undead. We have Szymon Kudranski (SPAWN) brings us The Barber, a tale of the undead and the Mob. In Creature Converts, by Canadian storyboard and comic artist Craig Wilson, a cat lady's feline friends develop a taste for the flesh. In Feast ( written by Royal McGraw illustrated by Adauto Silva (Batman:Battle for the Cowl, Commissioner Gordon, Illustrated by ) a gangster's taste for a delicacy becomes his end. In Hate by Doug Williams, a zombie must confront what he's become. Billy George brings us The Undead Templars a tale of the blind dead. Allison written by Myself and illustrated by horror master Tim Vigil, colored by Joe Vigil, a lovesick man tries to ressurect his dead lover with horrifying results. Bond follows a lone survivor in a zombie holocaust (by Euro guys Bartosz Sztybor and Macie Wodz). Grmbghraaaaagh! (by Bartosz Sztybor and Pawel Wojiechowicz) is a tale of zombies trying to escape what they are. Dead of Night by Joie Simmons is a great B&W tale. David Paleo brings Rot Clowns, which is rendered in a great old school brush style. Bunker Buster (Illustrated by Steve Mannion) is a tale of Nazi Scientists trying to engineer zombie super-soldiers. Aaron Rintoul brings When we Disappear, a esoteric tale of zombie armagheddon where we track two lovers trying to survive. Other tales by Robert S. Rhine (Girls and Corpses) , Nenad Gucunja, JC Wong, myself and others. Special preview of the upcoming voodoo/zombie series Undead Evil illustrated by Nenad Gucunja.
Horror News Network: Is this anthology an ongoing, or mini series?
Frank Forte: This will be an annual anthology that comes out Sept. oct of each year. It will run 152 pages.
Horror News Network: Will there be plenty of blood and guts to go around?
Frank Forte: Oh Sure. You can't have a zombie comic without splattered brains. Some tales are very gory. others are more intellectual, so plenty for everyone.
Horror News Network: How will this book stand out from the other zombie books on the stands?
Frank Forte:It will have all-new stories and feature international talent. Some stories will be anchored in the Zombie style created by George A. Romero and others will explore entirely new sub-genres of the Undead. We tried to explore zombie lore from other countries as well.
Horror News Network: When is the release date?
Frank Forte: Mid-Sept. 2010
Horror News Network: How much is the book?
Frank Forte: $14.95 with 152 color pages ( a few tales are in glorious black and white) so a real bargain.
Horror News Network: What made you want to do a Zombie Anthology?
Frank Forte: I've always found zombie tales very unnerving. The feeling of the earth being overrun is very scary to me. Movies like Return, Dawn and Day of The Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Zombie 2, and 28 Days Later ( although considered not a zombie flick by purists) are really disturbing. Hopefully we can bring that emotion to the readers of this comic. Comics are different, there's no sound, so you have to be mindful of how you're going to shock the reader. We're putting time into having great stories and great art. Hopefully this will be a great annual that readers will come back for.
Horror News Network: Where can our readers find out more about Zombie Terrors?
Frank Forte: www.zombieterrors.com is the official website. www.asylumpress.com also has info.
Horror News Network: In closing what would you like to say about Zombie Terrors?
Frank Forte: I'm real excited as this is Asylum Press' first zombie anthology. I hope we can bring something new for comic fans. We've gathered together many big names from comics and gaming and it should blow people's minds. It's been about 2 years in the making.
















Horror News Network: Thanks for your time, Frank!
