Hellbound Media are proud to be launching a new comic with a twist.

“Dorian & Drama: Reflections of the Damned” is a magazine-style photo comic, telling its story through stunning photographs, gruesome special effects and astounding technical effects. The comic launches tomorrow at Wales Comic Con in Wrexham, and many of the cast and crew will be there.

The brainchild of Hellbound Media Editor Matt Warner, “Dorian & Drama” follows the talented stage magician Dorian D’Arcane, played by Nathan Head (Legacy of Thorn, Theatre of Fear, The Zombie King), and his assistant Drama, played by Victoria Mua (who also provided many of the make-up and effects) as they investigate supernatural horrors lurking in an mysterious, old building.

You can also pick up a copy at Wigan Comic Con the following weekend. And Hellbound Media have a range of new dates for the new year that we will announce soon. Hope to see you in Wales tomorrow!

It’s been a while since we updated as we’ve had a run of excellent cons, and met many amazing people. We’ve started collecting images of our favourite Cosplays at cons, mostly horror/fantasy-related in some way, but sometimes ones that we just know and love! Our collection can be found on our Facebook page so please Like us if you have not already!

As well as an amazing run of cons, we’ve had two exciting new releases. Previously mentioned, we have our third horrific anthology, Shock Value Green. And for those who like grindhouse gore in their horror, we have “Slaughterhouse Farm #2”.

But that’s not all, we have some amazing upcoming titles in progress, including something old and something new. “Kiss Me Deadly” is getting re-released in a prestige trade format early next year, and following that we will see the return  of the ever-popular Mandy the Monster Hunter in her very own anthology, “The Mandy Book of Monsters”.

Also, we want to say a big hello  to anyone finding us from “My Geek Box”, where we feature this month in an interview, as a top pick of the month and with a Mandy and Dawn Keenan pin-up poster by the brilliant Gordon Napier. We hope you’ll check out our titles, and perhaps we’ll see you at a future con.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported us so far, and we’ll be posting again soon with more information, lists of future cons and reviews of our other favourite small press titles.

SMALL press comic publisher Hellbound Media is set to launch the third in its popular Shock Value series of horror anthologies in Birmingham this weekend.

Shock Value 3, or Shock Value Green as it is known due to the colour palette of its distinctive cover by Mandy the the Monster artist Anna Pennlund.

The anthology contains comic strips that look, according to Hellbound Media co-founder Mark Adams, “look at the dark side of human nature, exploring both the supernatural and the evil found in human nature itself”.

Most of the strips are written by Hellbound Media founders Matt Warner and Mark Adams, with an additional story by guest writer Jamie Lambert of Dexter’s Half Dozen fame with art by New Wasteland Fairy Tales creator David Powell. Shock Value Green also features Shock Value’s first prose story by Chrissey Harrison.

Shock Value value features Sunday Drive featuring the Dawn Keenan, Hellbound Media’s foul-mouthed Dublin vampire hunter character that featured in one of the company’s first books, Kiss Me Deadly.

Hellbound Media’s mascot Elle Bound also makes her first comic appearance in the rip-roaring adventure tale The Deadstar Diamond.

We’ve confirmed our table booking this week for Nottingham Comic Con on October 4. Last year this con debuted as NerdFest and was one of the most enjoyable events of 2013.
We should have two more conventions confirmed in the next couple of weeks and then we’ll post a definitive list of Hellbound’s remaining appearances for 2014 – there’s quite a lot.
