Zombie posted over on his MY SPACE page and he wanted to tell us all about his new comic project titled WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BARON VON SHOCK?
It's going to be a 32 page full color comic book and all the details are below.
ROB ZOMBIE PRESENTS: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BARON VON SHOCK? Zombie
has concocted a delightfully depressing tale about the seduction of
celebrity culture and its pitfalls. BARON VON SHOCK is illustrated by
DONNY HADIWIDJAJA and VAL STAPLES and published by Image Comics.
"This comic venture is very, very different in tone for me. Instead of
a crazy over-the-top monster-fest like El Superbeasto, I wanted to
create something that works more on a slice of life human level."
states Zombie, "After El Superbeasto became a movie, I felt I had taken
that style as far as I could. So, I really needed Baron Von Shock to be
something fresh in writing and in art."
"After publishing THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO, we jumped at the
chance to work with Rob again on BARON VON SHOCK," says Image Publisher
Eric Stephenson. "Baron Von Shock is darkly humorous, thrilling and
uncompromising – everything fans expect a Rob Zombie story to be."
In BARON VON SHOCK, Rob Zombie returns to comics with a dark dramedy
describing the fantastic rise and spiraling decent of celebrity. Being
in the right place at the right time isn't always a good thing, as Leon
Stokes aka Baron Von Shock finds out first hand. His sudden rise to
fame as a local television horror host meets with unexpected results.
BARON VON SHOCK proves to be a roller coaster of emotion that only Rob
Zombie can deliver.
BARON VON SHOCK #1, a 32-page full color comic book for $3.99, will be
in stores May 26, 2010. Also available: ROB ZOMIE PRESENTS THE HAUNTED
WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO.
