Opus Comics
loves their heavy metal, and I’m thankful that there are more publishers who want to translate the bands to this sequential art medium. That is, Dynamite and Z2 aren’t the only companies who’re doing a bang up job at translating these rock and roll stars musical concept albums to comic book life!
Although I was primarily admiring their releases with titles based on Frank Frazetta‘s works in the past, I’ve always paid attention to the occasional release when it concerns working with a few bands, namely Cradle of Filth. Their visual style gels with why I love the Gothic. Plus, the comics are something that can become nightmare sauce for lovers of the occult, in any of its forms. That said, I introduce the following titles that’ll be out for the All Hallow’s Eve season.
Sanjulian’s Witches’ Sabbath #1
Centuries ago, a devoted musician, the Red Priest, was executed by Witch-Hunters. His spirit lay trapped until a group of young women unwittingly resurrected him through a frenzied dance. Now, he seeks revenge on his killers’ descendants. Written by M.J. Wilson (Fluorescent Black) and inspired by the art of legendary Spanish artist Sanjulian!
