Black House comics (http://www.blackhousecomics.com/) are releasing a brand new series of EEEK! material this week in selected Australian newsagents. It'll feature all new stories and art by me. Here's a preview of what I've been working on lately ...

The first 4 issues of my horror book EEEK! is being collected into a trade paperback by Asylum Press and is featured as the 'Staff Pick' in the July 10 issue of previews.

Staff Pick (July 10): EEEK! Volume 1 TP
Asylum Press


In the grand tradition of Eerie and Creepy, EEEK! is an anthology that’s guaranteed to satisfy your craving for classic horror comics. From its time-honored parable story structure to its homage inflected artwork, this collection feels as though it could have been a lost treasure from the 1970’s Warren magazines. The variety in both art and story gave me pause when I learned that the entire collection was in fact produced by a single individual, Jason Paulos.
Each story has its own distinct charm, ranging from the tongue-in-cheek dark comedy of tales like “Stuffed,” to eerie thrillers like “Easy Prey.” Paulos’ pencil work displays true versatility, as he’s able to quickly and, most importantly, convincingly, switch styles from one story to the next. This variety in both story and art makes EEEK! feel as though it were rendered by an army of artists and writers rather than representing the work of just one dedicated creator.
With Halloween quickly approaching, readers will want to get themselves into the holiday spirit by picking up a copy of Asylum Press’s latest anthology, a collection that both new readers and horror enthusiasts alike will ghoulishly devour.

Best regards,
Jason Paulos

Cheers to everybody who turned up at the Asylum Press 'stand' on Sat 1st May to chat with me about the upcoming release of the U.S. edition of 'EEEK!' and life and art in general.
I'm still amazed at how welcoming the comic community is to an old has been wanna been like me.
Thanks to Anton Emdin for the pics and thanks to George, Jim and Steve for their ongoing support.

Here's the terrific cover the talented Aly Fel has painted for EEEK. I'm really excited about the release of my first (and hopefully not the last) overseas book. Spread the word people!

A fellow Wally Wood (amazing comic artist from the 1950's - 70's) fan commissioned me to do a pinup featuring 'Suicide Squad' (60's DC comic book team) ... here's the finished product.

Just another product of my sick imagination ... and probably another pinup for 'EEEK!'...

Here it is

Thanks to Jeff Ritchie for the extremely positive and unsolicited (I swear!) review. See excerpt below ...

'I loved this comic and immediately had to have the rest, sort of like a horror geek Pokémon "got to collect them all" thing. There's just something about this style of horror comic book that really works for me, guess it's the innate feeling that characters will reap what they sow. Jason Paulos really has captured an era of comic book releases and Eeek deserves to find a much larger market.'
