Avatar Press

One of the most highly-regarded creators on the indy comics horror scene, writer/artist Mike Wolfer entered the field in 1987 with his giant-monster saga Daikazu, under his own Ground Zero Comics banner.

Wolfer launched his best-known creation Widow around 1991 and the adventures of the genetically altered woman-spider have showcased his trademark character-driven blend of drama, horror, science fiction, and erotica ever since. Wolfer has also done work for Chaos!, London Night, and Dark Horse.

At Avatar Press, Wolfer has done a number of Widow mini series plus the 14-issue Widow X which collects and expands the entire pre-Avatar Widow saga. His erotic horror character Rag Doll has run in the pages of Avatar's adult anthology Raw Media, and he has also worked on indy goth-girl staple Razor at Avatar, both in collaboration with David Quinn (Faust) and in his own written and drawn serial in Avatar's Threshold anthology.

Landmark Warren Ellis creations Strange Kiss and Stranger Kisses were both drawn by Wolfer, and the pair are working together again on the Strange Killings saga.

Shi: Pandora's Box Artwork, Alan Moore's The Courtyard, Warren Ellis' Strange Killings, Previews, and More

Big update on the site today on a number of fronts. First off we have the November Avatar Previews Supplement online for your perusal. For those of you who use Diamond Comics Distributor's Previews to keep track and order your comics from your local retailer, our supplemental guide will give you additional artwork and information about what listed in Previews. You can always find this supplement to the latest Previews catalog at http://www.avatarpress.com/previews/.

We've also got new sections on the site for Alan Moore's The Courtyard, and Warren Ellis' Strange Killings, where you can check out artwork, information, press releases, and more for these two titles. Not coincidentally, Alan Moore's The Courtyard #1 and Warren's Strange Killings Vol. 1 TPB are both listed in the Previews that hit the streets in most shops worldwide today. So these are both January 2003 solicited releases.

Last but certainly not least for today, we've got a couple great pieces of Shi artwork in Juan Jose Ryp's gallery section. Juan Jose Ryp is the artist of the upcoming Shi: Pandora's Box from Avatar. More can't miss work from one of the hottest talents around. We've spent quite a bit of time talking about this artist here recently, check out that gallery to find out why.
