HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
We have something special for you to today. The launch of TALES FROM THE NAILBITER AND OTHER TERRIFYING STORIES!
When we first launched this Newsletter a major part was the release of our new short stories featuring different Buckaroo Butchers from the Nailbiter series along with the NAILBITER FAN CLUB. So I’m going to re-introduce those before we drop the new short after the paywall. There are more details on what you get for becoming a paid subscriber in the “ABOUT” section, as well.
“Sixteen of the world’s worst serial killers were all born and raised in the same small town. What happened in that town to create such horror? The worst of the serial killers is the Edward Charles Warren. He would only kidnap people who chewed their nails. He’d keep them captive while their nails grew back, chew their nails for them, and then kill them. This earned him the name…NAILBITER.”
That was the original pitch for my creator-owned series NAILBITER that started in 2014. Co-created with Mike Henderson, with colors by Adam Guzowski and Letters/Design by John J. Hill. The first series ran 30 issues. And then we brought it back in 2020 with NAILBITER RETURNS that ran ten issues. Mike and I have plans for a follow up to wrap up the Trilogy. BUT the Nailbiter was far from the only serial killer in the series. That was part of the whole set up. There were 15 OTHER serial killers before him. And we never really got to flesh out the stories of the other killers. So Mike and I, along with Adam and John, decided to create this new series:
Here is a taste of the intro stories created by Mike Henderson and Adam Guzowski!
This anthology WILL EVENTUALLY BE IN PRINT. Once we get to the end, all the chapters will be collected into one big trade paperback. And just to be clear, Nailbiter is still being published in print by Image Comics.
If you subscribe to the SUPER SCARY FAN CLUB, you will get a physical copy of that collection. You will be able to pick up a copy from your comic book store as well, but here you get it along with some other perks.
If you haven’t read Nailbiter before I highly recommend you order the trades from your comic book store of choice.
One of the big Nailbiter Projects that Mike and I have always wanted to do is a NAILBITER TABLETOP GAME. We’ve talked about this for years and we’ve had conversations with different game designers and publishers. So I’ll use this Newsletter as a development journal for that project.
We’ve also put together a new NAILBITER FAN CLUB BOX that comes with a few very cool items. That only goes to the people who subscribe to the ANNUAL PLAN and is perfect for Nailbiter fans. We’re limiting this version of the box to the first 500 subscribers to the ANNUAL plan. We’re only making 500 of them, so act fast!
