One of the cooler pieces of news to come out of Comic-Con was the announcement by Charles Band of Full Moon Entertainment and Brian Seaton of Action Lab Comics about their partnership to create a comic book series based on the Puppet Master saga.
That’s news hotter than Torch’s right hand!
The Puppet Master comic series will be written and edited by Shawn Gabborin, famed for his work on Snowed In and Fracture. The artwork will be done by Michael DaSacco.
You can watch the official Comic-Con announcement in the video below.
You may remember Puppet Master making a brief, six-issue foray into the comic world many full moons ago in 1990, but this new partnership will allow Charles Band to bring Blade and all his fellow nightmarish brethren back to the shelves of your favorite comic shop in 2015.
And for those of you using Full Moon Streaming, be sure to check out Herschell Gordon Lewis’ 1970 movie The Wizard of Gore, which will be available on August 4. The trailer for that classic romp is below as well. And in the upcoming weeks keep an eye out for Lewis’ 1967 film The Gruesome Twosome.
Puppet Master Synopsis
Puppet Master is the story Andre Toulon, an elderly puppet-maker who discovers an ancient Egyptian potion and uses it to bring his creations to life. At the height of World War II, Andre fled to America, pursued by Nazis. In a last ditch effort to protect his secrets, the master packs the dolls away and takes his own life. Years later a rogue psychic revives the dolls, leaving his associates to face off against the monstrous marionettes. Decades (and a handful of “masters”) later, the puppets are still raising hell in their own unique way.
