Halloween Launch Party for Locally Published Horror Comic Anthology “Hellbound 2” at Tommy Doyle’s, October 28th.
The Boston Comics Roundtable will be horrifying readers again this Halloween with the second installment of its “Hellbound” anthology of independent horror comics written and drawn by local creators. All comics creators, fans, and friends are invited to celebrate the premiere of the new book at a comics-themed Halloween Party on Friday, October 28, at Tommy Doyle’s in Harvard Square.
“Hellbound 2’s” initial release will be in a limited Art Edition, printed on hand-crafted paper and packaged in a screen-printed presentation box. This limited edition will go on sale at the party.
Edited by Jesse Lonergan, Hellbound 2 features terrifying stories by an assortment of independent comics artists and writers, most working out of New England: Nathan Kitler and Jerel Dye, Clayton McCormack, John Hilliard, Joshua Hoaglund, JL Bell and Andy Wong, Caitlin Plovnick, Ansis Purins, Gabriel Robinson, Patrick Flaherty and EJ Barnes, Logan Faerber, Gregery Miller, and Lindsay Moore and Alex Cormack. The book also features illustrations by the artists Bob Flynn, Erik Heumiller, Carl Tsui, Nate Furman, Cherry Ogata, Laurel Leake, and Roho.
The hand crafted paper used for the Box and Covers of Hellbound 2 was made at the Boston Paper Collective in Charlestown by the contributors with the help of BPC’s Melissa Cross and Zoe Culbertson. The Boxes were screen-printed at the New Hampshire Institute of Art under the guidance of NHIA’s Foundation Chairman, Joel Gill, also a Boston Comics Roundtable member.
