EVENT HORIZON" is a 120pg stand-alone creator showcase featuring some of the finest talent in comics and other subculture artforms.
Mam Tor was established in 2004 by Liam & Christina McCormack-Sharp to publish "Sharpenings, The Art of Liam Sharp", and is dedicated to producing creator driven works that might not ordinarily find a home on the bookshelf - their being too niche, radical or unquantifiable, despite the evident quality and commitment they display.
Alternative indi maestro Ashley Wood (Popbot) is providing an original story.
Industry legend Michael Kaluta (Books of Magic) will be doing an interview and gallery for one of the upcoming issues.
Brian Holguin (Spawn. Kiss:Psycho Circus) has written a highwayman's tale of terror, "The Gallows God", illustrated by the incomparable Dave Kendall. (see preview below.)
Hot as hell horror peddler Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) has written a gritty, brutal barbarian tale "Fucking Savages!" which I'm illustrating myself (see below for preview).
Shane McCarthy (Batman: Riddle me that) has written a wonderful futuristic tale called "The Cure", illustrated by new-comer Cardinal.
And Chris Weston (Ministry of Space), Dan Wickline, Kody Chamberlain and other established comic reprobates will all be making their own contributions.
Lee Carter, Kevin Crosley, Justin Murray, John Bamber and yet more unsung talented new-comers will be showing us their own stunning wares.
Tom Muller (designer of logos and websites for Ash Wood and Kent Williams, among others) will be lending his own unique and inspired design credentials to the proceedings, as well as providing a gallery of his astonnishing abstract 3D work. Beautiful stuff.
What's great about this is it's entirely creator driven, and we give the opportunity for new talent that can't find a place in the mainstreem to work along side, and sometimes with, industry pros.
