These two mad geniuses are largely responsible for my love of monster\u00a0movies and all the creepy and crawly things that go bump in the night.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last year, we&#8217;ve teamed with\u00a0artist\u00a0<strong>Renae De Liz<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0letterer\u00a0<strong>Janice Chiang<\/strong>\u00a0to create a brand new graphic novel series\u00a0titled\u00a0<em><strong>The Grimms Town Terror Tales<\/strong><\/em>. From the story, to the art, the lettering,\u00a0and layout, this book is by far my most beloved\u00a0creation.

MARV WOLFMAN\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;I\u2019m not usually a fan of fairy tale stories, but I have a hunch Grimms Town, Candy Creeper, is going to make me change my mind. The story by Neo Edmund is not only great fun, with sparkling dialogue and characters I came to understand and care about right from the very beginning, but it\u2019s also sneaks up on you as a solid horror\/adventure story as well. I found myself wanting\u2026 no. needing to finish reading it in one binge-worthy session. And it certainly doesn\u2019t hurt that the art by Renae Deliz is truly amazing. Her characters live and breathe and her ability to create a real world for those characters to live in, immediately draws you into the story. Neo and Renae have done a wonderful job of making me care and if you give Grimms Town a chance I have a hunch it\u2019ll do the same for you.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n-Marv Wolfman<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEO EDMUND, JOHN CARPENTER\u00a0&amp; SANDY KING PRESENT A STORM KIDS COMICS SERIES &#8216;THE GRIMMS TOWN TERROR TALES!&#8217; Happy 2021!
