FEARnet friend and comic book writer Stefan Hutchinson has just written in to alert us to a new Demons 3 comic book (based on the Dario Argento produced and Lamberto Bava directed horror classic Demons and Demons 2) to tie in with new DVD releases of Demons and Demons 2 from Arrow Video in the UK (region free!). Check out some sample panels of the comic below, along with details on the DVD release of Demons and Demons 2 from Arrow Video in the UK.
Stef writes in to FEARnet about the comic tie in, 'It's a comic book sequel to the classic 80s 'Demons' films, and will be released in two parts with the forthcoming Special Edition releases from Arrow Video. Book One will come with Demons and Book Two will come with Demons 2'. These DVD releases will also be REGION FREE'.
Below you'll find a 4-page preview that has been created purely for this announcement - these pages are not part of the book itself, but a 'comic book trailer'.
DEMONS 3: Not 'The Ogre'. Not 'The Church'. Not even 'Black Demons'! For the first time ever, Arrow Video present an original sequel to the cult classics. It is the 16th Century, the time of the plague in Southern France. Amid the carnage, a new evil is starting to take form and only one man can see it. That man is Nostradamus, but are his horrid visions of the future signs of what will come to pass? Can he stop the Demons from entering into our world? An all-new epic tale of demonic dismemberment brought to you from the writing team of Stefan Hutchinson and Barry Keating, with artwork by Jeff Zornow and Marcus Smith! Arrow Video are proud to announce that in 2010 they will bring to DVD all-new transfers of the classic Dario Argento produced and Lamberto Bava directed horror classic - Demons and Demons 2. Included within each DVD package will be all-new extra features specially shot for the releases plus a two-part comic book sequel - Demons 3! In a mysterious cinema, an audience are watching a brutal horror flick when the horror rips out of the screen, unleashing a swarm of slathering Demons who are intent on spreading their evil plague across the globe.
