TWIZTID MAKES COMIC DEBUT AT NYCC 2017
I have never heard any of Twiztid's 11 (soon to be 12) albums, but I'm going to have to very quickly. Source Point Press has announced a one-shot comic called Haunted High-Ons starring Jamie Madrox and Monoxide set to debut with a limited edition convention exclusive variant cover at New York Comic Con this October. The reason I'm so interested in this? It's written by none other than Dirk Manning. I'm in. The book features artwork by Marianna Pescosta and colors and letters by Alessandro De Fornasari.
Haunted High-Ons follows Twiztid as they establish themselves as fake ghost hunters as a side-gig. Unfortunately for them, a routine house call has not only a ghost, but a killer demon too. Hijinks and horror ensue.

“We’ve worked very closely with Jamie and Paul (aka Monoxide) on this release, as well as George Vlahakis, co-founder of Majik Ninja Entertainment, who has been instrumental in this process,” says Source Point Press Editor-In-Chief Travis McIntire. “Twiztid have not only carved a huge name for themselves in music, but have also become a staple in the world of horror. It’s fantastic to be working with legends whose passion matches our own.”
Twiztid commented, “We have talked about doing a REAL comic book for over a decade and it’s finally about to happen. If that’s not enough to put a smile on the ol’ face, then the fact our comic book will kick off at the New York Comic Con via the Source Point Press booth with us, writer Dirk Manning and the creative team, is enough to leave us all laughing like lunatics!”

“As a band, Twiztid has made a career of masterfully blending horror and comedy into their music the same way I’ve made a career of blending horror and comedy into my comic series such as Tales of Mr. Rhee, Nightmare World, and Love Stories (To Die For),” says writer Dirk Manning, “making collaborating with them in writing this comic a perfect match for fans of their music as well as readers looking for a new comic that’s fresh, funny, and at times, scary. Everybody wins!”
If you can't make it to NYCC, you'll be able to pick up the main cover through the Source Point Press webstore or the exclusive Twiztid Shop variant cover and a sketch cover variant through the Twiztid webstore.
