Article Summary
Dave HillandArtyom Topilin ’s newfangled comic book for Oni Press , Dark Regards # 1 , will feature a 1:50 human blood variate cover illustrate by Dave Hill himself and impress with ink that contains the blood of author Dave Hill , serial editorKarl Bollers , and Oni President & PublisherHunter Gorinson . AtComicsPRO , Hunter Gorinson say , " This comic is found on a true news report from Dave ’s life . In the early 2000s , he perpetrated one of the first viral hoaxes on the internet by posing as a 16 - year - old lead singer of a black metal stripe from Gary , Indiana , that taunted Norwegian black metal labels so bad they want to come to the US and off him in the metropolis of Gary Indiana . This is likeWayne ’s WorldmeetsThe Big Lebowski . You do not have to be into Heavy Metal to appreciate this book , in the same way , you did n’t have to be into bowling to appreciateThe Big Lebowski , but it is absolutely f — ing hilarious . "
" I started the original Witch Taint emails strictly to entertain myself late at Nox while sitting around in my underclothes , " say Dave Hill . " I never intend for anyone else to ever see them . But eventually I showed a duo friends and soon after there was an integral internet site dedicate to the emails attheblackmetaldialogues.com , where suddenly the whole populace could read them . That leave to me talking withMalcolm Gladwellabout Witch Taint on his podcast . The next thing I know , I ’m in the back of some unusual van where some bozo is jab my arm so he can put my genuine blood into a funny book about the whole thing . My life is a pile . "
" As every die - hard funnies fan and retailer knows , the four member of KISS notoriously integrate their blood into the ink of their Marvel Treasury Edition in 1977 , " say Hunter Gorinson . " Ever since I first take about that in a letter pillar in Wizard Magazine in 1993 , I have been looking for a written matter … and waiting , patiently abide my time , until Oni Press would be present with a serial so uttermost , so screaming , so incalculably hardcore as to warrant the same discussion . Now , Dave Hill and Artyom Topilin are on the cusp of fulfilling that divination withDARK REGARDS # 1 – and , through the sorry ability of multiple Non - Disclosure Agreements , we have envision out how to do the near - unsufferable : put real - life human ancestry into a comic Christian Bible cover . "
Indeed , in 1977 Marvel Comics release a magazine - format full - vividness comic leger , titledA Marvel Comics Super Special ! : Kisspresenting the band KISS as superheroes . Blood from each striation member was drawn by a registered nanny , witnessed by a notary world , and poured into the vats of red ink used for printing the comedian at Marvel ’s Borden Ink plant in Depew , New York . However , it was later rumoured that due to a mixing - up , the crimson ink was actually used for a photographic print tally of Sports Illustrated cartridge instead .
" Two decades ago , Dave Hill and his first dance band set out to shake their high schooltime auditorium in a fury of heavy metal hellfire . They fail miserably . Years later , Dave has made a young life for himself as a rising star in the New York comedy fit — a vocation where getting laugh at on leg is the full point and not just a tragical consequence . But when Dave ’s metal ambitions are reawakened by the über ego - serious " hellish " genre of Norse black metal , Dave produce a laughably hyperbolic alter ego and a dance orchestra to equalise that , together , reignite the spark of his forget rock and roll ' n ' roll fantasy . But when Dave ’s cyberspace - fuel rumors of Witch Taint — a metal band " so extreme that you must polish off all sharp-worded target from the immediate area " when their music is toy — fan out all the way to Europe , his story will spiral hazardously out of command as Norway ’s most extreme pitch-black metal butcher add up to reap their revenge . . . and put everything and everyone Dave hold earnest in the crosshairs ( of their axes , which , Sojourner Truth be told , do n’t actually have crosshairs , but , hey , it ’s a metaphor ) .
