Asylum Press, publisher of cutting edge graphic novels, announces the release of the first online trailer for DTOX: SPECIAL BIOHAZARD EDITION No.0
Releasing in February 2008, DTOX #0: SPECIAL BIOHAZARD EDITION, introduces a new character to the Asylum Universe. DTOX is presented in a magazine size format. DTOX is written by Frank Forte (Warlash, Undead Evil) and illustrated by Nenad Gucunja (Satan’s 3-Ring Circus of Hell, Girls and Corpses).
The trailer and can be seen here: www.dtoxcomic.com
Also available on the website is a full color preview, character descriptions, concept art and more.
DTOX takes place in a post-Armageddon future. The lone biohazard warrior fights to cleanse the earth of a rising toxic mutant population. Killvixen, a knife-wielding femme fatale, soon joins him. Together, armed with the mobile arsenal code-named DTANK, they travel the ravaged midwest in search of rogue monstrosities and fuel. This 12-page action packed story introduces the world of DTOX, Killvixen and the biogeneticist, Scourge who is creating an army of disease carrying mutants. Also features a special concept art section with unused penciled pages and character design.
“DTOX is inspired by the Heavy Metal Magazine I used to read in the 1980’s. Characters like Ranxerox and Den showed how far comics could really go. Pepe Moreno, Guido Crepax and Caza just blew me away. I grew tired of costumed superheroes after a while and wanted something more. I found it in the pages of Heavy Metal, ” explains Frank Forte. ” Now I’m giving back.”
“Working on DTOX was fantastic, ” says Nenad Gucunja, ” I was able go off on the script and expand the scenes. Then Frank would go back and rewrite it. What came out was something fun and demented.”
On Sale early February 2008
Intended Audience: Mature Readers
Retail Price: $2.95, SC, 24pgs, Full color.
can be seen in Diamond Previews Dec. 2007

“After an extended nine-week theatrical run we went directly into filming the play,†explains producer Frank Forte, “ We got some great angles and captured some of the important performances in close-up. We had a wonderful, dedicated team who all worked very hard.â€
Director Mark Landsman goes on to comment, “I read the material and was intrigued by the edgy, dark tone; the sharp, wry language; and the overall metaphor of betrayal and decay. I was hooked and excited to help envision Darwin’s Pâté as both a stage and video production. We then lucked out with a fantastic cast of highly talented actors and a fantastic graphic novelist turned production designer who dove into the rich material and brought it vibrantly to life.â€
“I was very fortunate to have a super cast and crew to bring the pages to life. We are currently approaching production companies and investors to fund an independent film based on the play,†says writer Elizabeth J. Musgrave, “We are shopping the play around to small off-Broadway theater companies. A graphic novel is currently in production.â€
Acclaimed graphic novelist and animator, Frank Forte (HIHI PUFFY AMI YUMI, KID NOTORIOUS, THE MR. MEN SHOW) produced and designed the production. Composer Walter Werzowa, founder of Musikvergnuegen, whose recent compositions include those for Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott, designed the sound. Mark Landsman (director, FX series, 30 DAYS; and the award-winning AFI short film, SKYLAB) directs.
The writer, Elizabeth J. Musgrave, has more than 10 plays and one feature film, EDGE OF NOWHERE, directed by Phillip McKeon (star of the sitcom classic, ALICE) to her credit. For her screenplays, she was a quarter and semi-finalist in the Chesterfield Writers Film Project, Writers’ Script Network and Fade-In competitions. Additionally, she has placed in the quarter-finals for her TV spec in the Scriptapalooza contest. She also had the opportunity to work alongside legendary producer, Ray Stark, on two of her projects. She received MFA from the U. of Georgia.
The cast features Sarah Zoe Canner, star of Agnieska Holland’s upcoming film, THE TRUE STORY OF JANOSIK; the French film, PETTY CRIMES by director Michel Ferry; and starring opposite Taylor Nichols (HBO’s MIND OF THE MARRIED MAN) in the upcoming feature film, CHTHONIK, directed by Polish director Rafal Zielinski.

Overlooked, underrated, and misunderstood, the horror and science fiction genres have been virtually ignored and shunned by the mainstream since the earliest days of cinema.
Through the decades, these films, stories and most recently, video games, have entertained and thrilled audiences around the world and continue to grow in popularity to this very day, slowly but surely gaining the appreciation and respect that they deserve.
There is an incredible amount of talent in this field that goes unnoticed and unappreciated and The Eerie Horror Film Festival hopes to reverse that trend.
Since 2004 the EERIE HORROR FILM FESTIVAL has screened over 200 films and has featured appearances by Jason Mewes (”Clerks”), Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog), Dee Wallace Stone (Cujo), Tony Todd (Candyman), Tom Savini (From Dusk Till Dawn), PJ Soles (Halloween), Gunnar Hansen (Texas Chainsaw Massacre ‘74), Lloyd Kaufman (Troma), Eugene Clark (Land of the Dead), Joe Pilato (Day of the Dead), Lynn Lowry (The Crazies), Tom Atkins (Halloween III), Charles Cyphers (Halloween), Nancy Loomis(Halloween), Alex Vincent (Child’s Play), Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick (The Omen ‘06), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), Brian Andrews (Halloween), Mark Borchardt (American Movie), John Hancock (Let’s Scare Jessica to Death), Dorothy Tristan (screenwriter), Mark Steensland (The Gospel According to Philip K. Dick), Sean David Morton (Joe Killionaire), Len Kabasinski (Swamp Zombies), Jamien Snow (author), Greg Lamberson (Slime City), Debbie Rochon (Hellblock 13), Michael Stanley (Attack of the Beast Creatures), Leonard Lies (Dawn of the Dead), Jim Krut (Dawn of the Dead), Pam Sutch and many, many more!
The 2008 Eerie Horror Film Festival will feature even more special guests, bigger prizes and lots of mayhem and takes place in October 9 - 12, 2008 in Erie, Pa. (USA)
