Time: Thursday, September 25, 2008 7:00 p.m.
Location: Village Books
Join comic book artist Daniel Crosier and writer Chad Helder as they launch their new comic book miniseries, Bartholomew of the Scissors. Helder and Crosier will be signing the premiere issue of the horror comic, published by Bellingham-based Bluewater Productions. Crosier, visiting from Denver, Colorado, will discuss his innovative method of burning comic book illustrations into pine planks. Original samples of artwork will be on hand.
Spectral Phantasms have invaded our world. These ghostly creatures from another dimension occupy the human brain and endow their host with spectacular paranormal abilities. Private investigator Gordon Watt, long-aware of the spectral phantasms, investigates a bizarre series of scissor-murders. With the help of a powerful psychic named Jessica, Gordon soon discovers a connection between the phantasms and the mystery of a vengeful, undead boy named Bartholomew. But humanity faces a greater threat: the White Blob emerges from the abyss to colonize pockets of human society. Gordon and Jessica must enlist the help of Bartholomew and the hideous power of his Scissor Swarm or face assimilation by the growing colony of the White Blob! Bartholomew of the Scissors is a four-issue miniseries that will be released monthly beginning in September 2008.
