EXCLUSIVE ‘True Believers’ Cover Reveal: Horror Icon Jeffrey Combs Graces The Series’ Final Cover
Stephen Graham Jones and Joshua Viola are returning to the deadly world of their comic book series True Believers for a frightening grand finale. The star-studded, blood-soaked, final issue features appearances by Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, Re-Animator and From Beyond stars Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs, and fan-favorite musician and Bit Bot Media co-founder Klayton of Celldweller. And one such star, the legendary Jeffrey Combs, we’re excited to exclusively announce, will grace the issue’s cover.
Previous issues of True Believers featured some of the biggest names in horror, including iconic actress Jamie Lee Curtis, the band GWAR, bestselling novelist R.L. Stine, screenwriter and film director Jeffrey Reddick, musician Matthew Kiichi Heafy, actor Devon Sawa, and the characters from the cult horror film Deathgasm.
After the first issues of True Believers introduced fans to the bone-chilling slasher character, Killr™and an obsessive fan who wreaked havoc at the real-life Colorado Festival of Horror, True Believers: Issue #3 – Slashfest once again pits con-goers against another masked menace who takes their devotion to the cult slasher franchise Killr™ far too seriously. But is this just a cosplayer, or someone from the past with deadlier intentions? True to its bloody roots, the issue promises outrageous kills, tongue-in-cheek gags, meta Easter eggs, and enough gore to satisfy even the most die-hard horror fan.
Check out the incredible cover, which is a glorious throwback to Combs’ iconic role as Herbert West in Re-Animator, designed by Ben Matsuya and Jeremiah Lambert.
“Thanks to Slash for sitting on that stool and bringing this closing installment of True Believers home,” writes Jones. “When you have a stable narrator, the story can be operatic and bloody, funny and scary, have chimpanzees and mannequins, heroism and evil: everything you might want from the last in a slasher trilogy.”
“The third and final issue of True Believers is finally here, and I couldn’t be more pumped,” says Viola. “This series has been a wild ride from day one, and I can’t wait for fans to see how it all goes down. It’s louder, bloodier, and funnier than ever, but still true to the twisted idea that kicked this whole thing off. Welcome to Slashfest!”
True Believers: Issue #3 – Slashfest will be available from Bit Bot Media on October 13, featuring art by Ben Matsuya, letters by Jeremiah Lambert, four variant covers from acclaimed horror artist Matthew Therrien, and a main cover by Lambert and Matsuya.
Fans can purchase True Believers: Issue #3 – Slashfest via Bit Bot Media.
