Skelton
Crew Studio, the
sculpting house responsible for creating an array of high-end, limited edition
replicas based on award-winning comics properties such as Locke &Key, Hellboy and CHEW, is excited to announce a new partnership with acclaimed
comics creator Alan Robert to produce an exclusive line of collectables
based on his hit comic Killogy
(IDW Publishing).
The first products from the collection will make their debut at Boston Comic Con, July 31 - August
2, 2015. Two 16 oz. etched Killogy
Pint Glasses will be available for purchase at Skelton Crew Studio's
booth (D517), retailing at $10.99 each. One design features the voodoo
artwork found in the comic, circled by an ominous warning of the impending
apocalypse, and the other displays a bold Killogy skull
logo. Each glass comes complete with a full-color,
double-sided "Voodoo Brew" Drink
Recipe Card, designed by Robert, using his signature artwork. So
have a drink before the dead begin to rise from their graves — it just may be
your last!
More products are already in the pipeline and are expected for an early
2016 release, including a plush severed head based on the sarcastic,
wisecracking Killogy character
One-Eye Tessio. Fans of the comic will not be surprised to discover that
One-Eye comes packaged inside his trusty Italian Ices container, just
like in the books.
“Killogy is such an
original concept and an amazing read,” said Skelton Crew Studio head Israel
Skelton. “Alan is a huge talent and clearly an idea machine. We couldn’t be
more stoked to be working with him.”
Robert adds, "With a roster filled with
comics greats like Mignola, Templesmith, Hill & Rodriguez,
and Layman & Guillory, I am extremely humbled and flattered
to be welcomed into the Skelton Crew family! They produce some of
the best replicas I've seen around and they are completely dedicated to
bringing each creator's vision to life."
Killogy received critical acclaim and was named one of Bloody Disgusting's Top 5 Best
Mini-Series of 2013. It received two Ghastly
Awards nominations and picked up a Horror Comic Award from The Horror News Network. The
apocalyptic dark comedy is now in development to become an animated series
starring Frank Vincent (Goodfellas,
The Sopranos), Marky Ramone
(the Ramones), Brea Grant
(Heroes) and Doyle Wolfgang
Von Frankenstein (of the Misfits
fame). The celebrities all appeared inside the pages of the comic as well. In
May, Rolling
Stone posted a six-minute animated teaser. The animation was
produced by Robert's Wasted
Talent Entertainment, in association with Squeeze Studio Animation and Rodney Barnes, the producer
of The Boondocks. Check it out
