Real Mad Nighthawks by Stan Mack

A former art director of The New York Times Sunday Magazine, he’s covered “real-life” stories for leading publications, and is the author of several graphic books. stanmack.com
It was a real pleasure getting to chat with Stan about some of the day to day (or night to night, as is often the case) of Pitch House's workings.

Zombie Highway The HC Graphic Novel
Being pursued by monsters, both living and undead, four likable thieves seek refuge on the open road.
The Zombie Highway HC Ghoullection contains a whole lot of ZH gruesomeness! (Much of it near impossible to find nowadays.) It includes The World Accordingly mini-series, the Wild and Wonderful series, the Back in Blue special, the never before available Sutter's Tale, and other surprise goodies! That's well over 200 pages!
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT ANOTHER ZOMBIE TALE?
Well, because you have good taste! Zombie Highway is well over a decade old (appearing before Walking Dead even) and still feels like a fresh kick in the pants. Here are some other folks with good taste.
"Entertains by knowing exactly when to go for the gore and when to switch for the gag. I'm eagerly awaiting more."
-Newsarama
"ZH is a thrill-ride of a book and a refreshing take on the zombie genre!'
Aintitcool.com
"Zombie Highway is good stuff!"
-Paperbackreader.com
Those are just a few of the many, many glowing reviews this book has gotten over the years. Still not sure? That's ok. Just stick with us a bit longer.
Meet Kuji, Mouse, Yeti, and Tag. The heart of the story beats in the chests of our quartet of rogues. They act and talk not like heroes, but people. Flawed, vulgar, and often politically-incorrect, but still very human. These aren't the guys you'd necessarily trust your life with, but they are the kind of guys that keep things interesting.
After stealing a mysterious package, everything begins unraveling at the seems. That unraveling is something Mouse and crew won't accept. Not until they get paid at least!
With good guys like this, what kind of villains does Zombie Highway have? Well, that would ruin the fun if we told you now. Let us just say that zombies aren't the scariest things waiting for our gang down the road.
SHORT HISTORY OF MAKING ZH.
When a young writer named Jason Pell was given an opportunity to work with the two amazing talents of Roberto Viacava (Adventures of Superman starting this April) and Eduardo Bazan, he swore he'd do 'em proud. Pulling inspiration from his closest friends, Jason created one of the most original horror road-trip stories put to panels. It was this fun and scary take of the zombie genre that Ed Dukeshire and Digital Webbing helped distribute all around the world.
All of the Zombie Highway books were only possible because of the contribution of Jason's good friends and fellow gifted artists like Robt Snyder, Jason Arthur, Juan Romera, Derek Laufman, T.J. Kirsch, and Nick Bradshaw (Wolverine and the X-men, Guardians of the Galaxy) who contributed the awe-inspiring cover. This is your chance to have all this talent trapped in one terror-rific book!
WHAT'S NEW?
For the first time ever, you'll see the original ZH: The WORLD ACCORDINGLY mini-series in COLOR. Zombie Highway was always about bringing colorful characters to life and now it has been fully realized.
And the new ZH hardcover doesn't stop there. Robt Snyder has offered to touch up the Wild and Wonderful issues truly making this the ULTIMATE collection. Just take a look at the difference!
And now, some pun about losing your head or something to accompany the picture below. And probably another exclamation mark. We've only used nine of the twenty-one Kickstarter allows! (10)
That's all that we have to share as of the moment. Many of you have already visited the Zombie Highway universe before and loved it. Some of you, I'm sure, have never even heard of it. Either way, all are welcome to come and see what the hubbub is all about.
Be one of the first 250 backers and you'll get this.
If you are not one of the first 250, don't worry. We want all our backers happy and we've got some nifty things we will unveil soon.
Season's End and Suicide 5.
And...if you feel like being bold, check out both Season's End and Suicide 5 featured in the rewards. Both were funded by Kickstarter and both have garnered critical praise!
There are a lot of great rewards offered this time including the original covers by Roberto Viacava. This is a great chance to get some of Roberto's first work as his new gig on the ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN is sure to make him a superstar!
BONUS REWARD!
Are there stretch goals?
Yes! We'll keep them quiet until we get closer to our original goal. So, let's hurry up and get there so we can show you some really neat things!!
Please consider stopping by and contributing to this excellent project. Thanks!
Limited print by me available only through this project.
