Here’s something different: Over at Playboy.com, award-winning New York Times bestselling author Dwight Jon Zimmerman (Lincoln’s Last Days) discusses his latest project: the biographical graphic novel Steve McQueen: Full-Throttle Cool, which is now on sale from Motorbooks. Joined by artist Greg Scott (Gotham Central), Dwight examines the life and career of one of Hollywood’s greatest stars. Head over to Hefner HQ to read the interview, and then you can tell your friends that you really do read Playboy for the articles! 😉 (And yes, as you’d expect, some content at that site is NSFW, so proceed at your own risk.)
So, you ask, why am I giving a shout-out to a Playboy interview about a non–StarWarp Concepts book? Because it just so happens that its author contributed a critically acclaimed story to the SWC anthology comic, Lorelei Presents: House Macabre, which was published this year!
Lorelei Presents: House Macabre involves SWC’s resident soul-stealing succubus trying her hand at hosting a horror comic, in the style of old-school horror titles like Tales From the Crypt, House of Mystery, and even the original Vampirella. It contains stories by yours truly, Steven A. Roman (Lorelei: Sects and the City, The Saga of Pandora Zwieback), and Playboy interviewee Dwight Jon Zimmerman (Iron Man, Web of Spider-Man). Art is provided by Uriel Caton & “Chainsaw” Chuck Majewski (Heartstopper: The Legend of La Bella Tenebrosa), Lou Manna (T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents), John Pierard (Graphic Classics: Horror Classics), and Juan Carlos Abraldes Rendo, with cover art from good-girl artist supreme Louis Small Jr. (Vampirella).
The special is available in both print and digital formats, so visit the Lorelei Presents: House Macabre product page for all the ordering information, as well as sample pages.
