E-MAN RETURNS
E-Man, the energy being from outer space who makes his home on Earth as a super-hero, returns to comics in September from Digital Webbing Press.
Nicola Cuti and Joe Staton, who created E-Man for Charlton Comics in 1973, return for the one-shot.
E-Man was featured in a 10-issue run with Charlton, followed by 25 issues from First Comics in the 1980's.
In the one-shot, E-Man will be joined by his girlfriend, Nova Kane, who developed energy powers herself early in the initial Charlton series. The issue will also feature E-Manšs arch-enemy, The Brain from Sirius.
"We're pleased to bring E-Man back in all-new adventures. Hešs always been a favorite character of mine," said Ed Dukeshire, publisher of Digital Webbing Press. "And to have the original creators, Nick Cuti and Joe Staton, doing the honors is a real treat."
TRAILER PARK OF TERROR
Imperium Comics' horror anthology Trailer Park of Terror returns in May, starting a new publishing cycle.
"We're still going to put out four issues of TPoT this year," said Imperium Comics publisher Christopher March, "However, we've held off on releasing our new issue so that the next four issues can come out on a bimonthly, rather than quarterly, schedule."
Trailer Park of Terror #4 will feature four short stories, including:
* "No Vacancy" by Derek Fridolf and Mark Englert.
* "Graveyard Shift" by Mike Raicht and Mark Layne.
* "Mushrooms" by Brian Showers and Stephen Molnar.
* An adaptation of the short story "In the Name of Desdemonia" by Nicholas Knight and Brandon Hovet.
The 32-page book will feature a cover by Nelson DeCastro and Paul Mounts.
