COMIC PREVIEW - Stiffs
Stiffs is a bi-monthly five-issue mini series published by Dead Star Publishing and set for release in February 2012. It is written by some time stand up comedian Drew Davies, PJ Montgomery and Joe Glass (The Pride) with art by amazing up and comer Gavin Mitchell and colours by Adam Cadwell (The Everyday, Blood Blokes) and Kris Carter (Lou Scannon). Set in the dead end South Wales Valleys town of Cwm Mawr, Stiffs follows the adventures of Don Daniels and his talking monkey life mate Kenny McMonkey (don’t ask!) as they discover that zombies and other monstrous beings stalk the Valley at night. Raised on a constant diet of rubbish horror films, heavy metal music and boredom, they do what any sane person would: become a pair of bad-ass, head-caving zombie hunters! Soon though, hunting the undead becomes a lot more than they bargained for when they uncover a threat far greater than any zombie. So they enlist a group of their friends to become a group of marginally competant monster hunters, sworn to keep the Valleys safe until they either die trying or get bored of it. Magic, women, guts, gore, and a chain-smoking, foul-mouthed monkey come together to make the craziest, funniest, most kick-ass action comic series of the year in Stiffs! 68
