Broken Frontier

Since its inception, IDW Publishing has always strived to give comics readers the horrific and terrifying. From the bloodthirsty (30 DAYS OF NIGHT), to the brain hungry (ZOMBIES VS ROBOTS), and every spooky element in between, IDW has been the premiere publisher of graphic horror tales for years. Now, continuing in this grand and scary tradition—but with a hilarious twist—IDW Publishing is proud to announce its newest horror anthology, THE CLAWS COME OUT from acclaimed indie cartoonist Pat Lewis.

To be released in exquisite hardcover format, THE CLAWS COME OUT is a diverse collection of comical monster stories: an apathetic scientist works late defrosting the Abominable Snowman; a naïve blood donor dates a rageaholic vampire; a two-bit fortuneteller inadvertently sparks a zombie epidemic. Martians, werewolves, serial killers and B-movie monsters square off against a variety of tough women in this slam-bang collection. And it’s all played for laughs.

Creator Pat Lewis has won multiple awards for his past work, including: 2004 Ignatz Award Nominee (Outstanding Minicomic, "Thankless Job"), 2004 Howard E. Day Prize Nominee ("Obsessive Crush"), 2006 Howard E. Day Prize Nominee ("One Horse Town"), and the 2006 Howard E. Day Prize Nominee ("Abominable").

"This is a great time to be making comics," Lewis said. "I couldn’t be happier that IDW chose to publish my work."

THE CLAWS COME OUT will be released in November 2007 in a deluxe hardcover format and will contain 152 black and white pages. It will retail for $19.99.
