The Unholy Three

by Tod Robbins


Zombie Factory: 27 Tales of Bizarre Comix Madness from Beyond the Tomb

by Patrick O'Donnell
Available for purchase on Amazon.com

Step right up, folks, and prepare to have your blood run cold as you meet the strangest, most bizarre trio of misfits ever spawned by a carnival of blood:

TWEEDLEDEE, an adult man trapped in the body of a three-year-old toddler, whose mask of childlike innocence hides a seething brain plotting hideous revenge against all that is sane and normal!

HERCULES, the circus strongman, brutal, bestial, revelling in carnage and murder – yet the submissive slave of a deadly dwarf!

ECHO, the expert ventriloquist with the uncanny ability to throw his voice so that lifeless wooden dummies seem to speak even as you or I!

Together, they are THE UNHOLY THREE, star attractions of Tod Robbins’ classic novel of hate, murder and madness on and off the midway. Best known as author of the story which inspired the still-controversial fear-film FREAKS, Robbins first stunned the public with this intense account of a ruthless war on society waged by a triad of carny castaways.

Shambling their way from forgotten moss-covered crypts and freshly dug graves, they haunt the pages of the most notorious monster magazines of the 1970's. These are the forgotten zombies of horror comics and like their cinematic brethren they have a taste for warm, moist flesh - YOURS!

Now, for the first time in over thirty years, IMP proudly unearths these gruesome tales from the pages of TERROR TALES, TALES FROM THE TOMB, TALES OF VOODOO, and THE WITCHES' TALES to release them on monster and comic fans alike.

The Crime Doctor

by E. W. Hornung


The Monster of Frankenstein

by Dick Briefer
Available for purchase on Amazon.com

In the tradition of the Great Detective, Sherlock Holmes, we present E.W. Hornung's THE CRIME DOCTOR.

John Dollar, a former soldier recovering from a head injury, becomes an amateur sleuth as well as a man of medical science- one with a unique outlook on the criminal mind, and how to treat this growing threat to Crown and Country; and as the villains will discover, he stands ready to use the black arts of subterfuge, disguise, and violence in the service of a good cause.

In his exploits throughout Europe, he encounters mystery and deception beginning with a theft from Britain's secretary of state; a race to save a wrongly condemned man; the questionable rehabilitation of a career criminal; a spy with access to the Admiralty's most secret blueprints; an intrigue-ridden Continental train trip; a Swiss trek to aid the surgeon who healed him of his kleptomania, a haunting at an English manor; an encounter with arson-minded suffragettes; and finally, a showdown with a murderous arch-foe.

The early 1950s were the Golden Age of horror comics. One of the most legendary titles of the era was Dick Briefer’s MONSTER OF FRANKENSTEIN, the first continuing series to feature a creature of darkness in a starring role. Veteran comics pro Briefer pulled out all the stops to create a truly great version of the Frankenstein Monster.

Now, over a half-century later, these timeless, hard-hitting tales are collected for the first time in a big bonanza volume to delight monster lovers and comics fans alike. Combining bold visual flair and inventiveness with impressive storytelling abilities, Dick Briefer here claims his rightful place with such great writer/artists as Chester Gould (DICK TRACY) and Jack Cole (PLASTIC MAN).
