"Realm Of The Damned" Coming To North America Through Maniacal Publishing

Maniacal Publishing today proudly announces its first official release: after months of teasing, the "Realm Of The Damned" graphic novel is coming to North America on October 19th.

"Realm Of The Damned" is a unique graphic novel from the creative team of writer Alec Worley and illustrator Simon "Pye" Parr (2000 AD). The 144-page saga was created by Steve Beatty of England's Werewolf Publishing.

"Tenebris Deos" is the first of four planned installments of the exciting horror tale. Raw, fast-paced, and bristling with atmosphere, classic gothic monsters are unleashed for a modern rampage of redemption and damnation. It is a bloody and blasphemous epic that features appearances from heavy metal titans Behemoth, Emperor, and Mayhem.

Maniacal Publishing founder Greg Ross comments: "When my friend Steve (Beatty) told me about 'Realm of The Damned,' I literally begged him to let me release it in North America. It's one of the most exciting projects I have ever been involved with and I can't wait for people to see it."

"I'm super excited to see 'Realm Of the Damned' released in the US via Maniacal Publishing and to be working with Greg again," adds Beatty, owner of Werewolf Publishing and former co-owner of Candlelight Records. "'Realm Of The Damned' has been a huge success in Europe so far with our first pressing selling out. It's fantastic to see it coming stateside for the growing legion of undead fans. Enjoy the darkness America."
