Jazan Wild will be releasing his debut album in October 2005 simultaneously with the first issue of a comic book bi-monthly series entitled “Jazan Wild's Carnival of Souls”.
Wild has been working on his thirteen-track CD, a soundtrack to the comic books series, for almost two years along side Grammy Award Winning Producer, Bob Kulick.
Stefan Petrucha (X-Files) supplies the script for the comic book series – with art from Kevin Conrad (Spawn, Kiss' Psycho Circus, Hulk) and colors from Dan Kemp (Spawn, Kiss' Psycho Circus, Spiderman). A trade paper back is being planned for a June 2006 – which will contain a
CD with rare bonus tracks written, performed and produced by Wild.
The series has already gained much interest. A special preview edition of the book was printed for the San Diego Comic Con and Wizard World Chicago and anyone purchasing this special preview book given a free 3 track promo CD at either show. If you fancy hearing one of Wild’s tracks from the album then click on the LINK. Prepared to be rocked!!!
The comic series is currently available to order in the latest Previews catalog and is priced at $3.50 and Markosia has been overwhelmed by the popularity of this book that it has overprinted the first issue to meet further demand.
Carnival Of Souls has been best described as Twin Peaks and Lost meets Stray Bullets and according to its creator, Jazan Wild, “each individual character has a story to tell about why they have succumbed to the Carnival of Souls”. “This Caravan of the damned travels between this world and the next... between reality and dreams ... between heaven and hell!”. “Each issue we take the reader on a journey to discover the life and death of a new member of the carnival!”.
In addition Jazan Wild will be appearing at Los Angeles’ very own Golden Apple comic book shop on the 28th October – for a Halloween promotion not to be missed!!! Get copies of the first issue signed by Jazan and pick up a copy of Jazan’s CD!!!
"Kevin's artistic prowess is evident here as he flexes his penciling muscles for the first time in this full throttle comic. His storytelling is spot on, his visuals are eye-searing and characters are alive. One look and you'll want to keep looking for more of Carnival of Souls
--Tony Daniel, (Teen Titans, The Tenth)
"Kevin Conrad has long been one of the greatest inkers in the game, and I think we all knew he was really much more than that. He's got such a solid sense of storytelling structure, he's really one of the best pencilers in the game as well, and it's wonderful to see his full talents shine
through."
--Jim McLauchlin, editor-in-chief, Top Cow Productions.
Kevin's art brings to life every creepy thought you had as a child of clowns to a nail biting reality, and then some. From Steven King's IT too McDonald's Ronald, Carnival of Souls blows up an enormous circus sized balloon animal of horror to unimaginable frightening delight!!!
--Bob LeFevre.Penciler - Transformers, Decoy.
Penciler/Creator,Writer - Aletheia
"Carnival Of Souls" is a "Not to be missed" comic. The story is a "no risk" read...Hat's off to the entire team! Kevin Conrad really "flexes his work-muscles" on this book; his pencils are beautiful...Pick it up!"
