MUCHAS GRACIAS POR EL AUTOGOL CABRON!

Really Los Angeles, after 18 yrs in business thru the triumphs and the tears — you have given me lots of both. — I love you, fear you and admire all the chances you have given my store and myself to renew, rebuild, and recharge!

If I was a writer I would polish this and have a great ending for it, but I am not. Just a fan of comic books that appreciates your continued support and business!

Your always,
Gaston D.-L.

Tony Award-winning actor DAN FOGLER (“Fanboys,” “Good Luck Chuck,” “Balls of Fury,” “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”) will be on hand to sign copies of his new graphic novel from Archaia, MOON LAKE, on Wednesday, Nov. 17, the day the book goes on sale! Fogler is making a special appearance in Los Angeles, so don’t miss your chance to meet him and get a copy of his graphic novel signed!

Think “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” on acid, sprinkled with doses of “The Twilight Zone,” “Amazing Stories” and “Tales From The Crypt” and you’ve got yourself one unique anthology, courtesy of the twisted mind of Fogler! MOON LAKE is an idea spawned from Fogler’s independent film, “Hysterical Psycho.” The region of Moon Lake, located on the border of the U.S. and Canada, has been haunted since the beginning of our existence. It is a crossroad for several different varieties of evil, including real-life sasquatches, undead masters of illusion, psychotic cheerleaders and the aliens who created humanity through genetic engineering million years of ago.

Fogler joins forces with the very best horror talents in the comic book industry to bring you seven all-star tales of terror written by Brian Holguin (SPAWN), Tim Seeley (HACK/SLASH), R.H. Stavis (DEMONS OF MERCY), Blake Leibel (SYNDROME), Nick Tapalansky (AWAKENING) and Stef Hutchinson (HALLOWEEN), and illustrated by Brooke Allen (A HOME FOR MR. EASTER), Tommy Castillo (TOETAGS FEATURING GEORGE ROMERO), Jim Daly (BAD PLANET), Alex Eckman-Lawn (AWAKENING), Josh Finney & Kat Rocha (TITANIUM RAIN), Robbi Rodriguez (HAZED) and Jeffrey Zornow (GRIMM FAIRY TALES).

Come out and meet Fogler and pick up his darkly funny book that will give you nightmares into the afterlife!
