INDEED!

That's what I'm sayin'... and new stuff goes up every Thursday! :cool:

Make sure to post and lemme know what you think after you've read some of them! :D

I love hearing people's comments on the stories... whether they be good or critical! ;)

Best wishes,
Aaron

[kpropain]

I read the Welcome To The Jungle title not bad. I'll read more of them when I get the chance.

And just curious but why didn't you put this in the comics forum? It's only like right above this one.

D'OH! :o

Because I'm a f**king idiot... :p

Next time... next time... ;)

Best wishes,

P.S.-- I'm glad you liked JUNGLE. Josh Ross, the artist on that one, is *THE MAN*, and we ghave several more stories coming down the pike... :D

[kpropain]

Yeah I have to agree the art in the Jungle was pretty good. I just read For Those About To Rock, that was pretty good and pretty funny also, ironic in the end to.

Keep up the good work.

[Aaron Weisbrod]

Cool, man! Thanks for the kind words! :)

Most of the NIGHTMARE WORLD (http://www.nightmareworld.com) stories have surprise twist endings like that...

What can I say... it all harkens back to old EC Comics and "The Twilight Zone", baby! :cool:

Best wishes,
Aaron

[kpropain]

I just read Knee Deep In The Dead, LOL love the parody feel to it, that was pretty cool.

You ever published any of your stuff in print?

If not you should.

Heh.

Actually, KNEE DEEP IN THE DEAD will be seeing print in the upcoming Steven Niles: TALES FROM THE INNER SANCTUM horror anthology that will be released in a few months! How's *THAT* for service? :D

That very same anthology will also feature two other stories -- a five-page prose sequel to YOU OUGHTA KNOW (one of my personal favorite stories) as well as a one-page story illustrated by Josh Ross titled WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE.

All of that aside, we're continuing to update the site with two new pages of story every Thursday, and hope to publish a collected "Best of..."-type TPB in the future...

In the meantime, enjoy the stories while they are still free and tell all your friends (and fiends) aboiut the site! :p

Again, man... thanks for the kind words! *VERY* appreciated! :)

[kpropain]

Sweet dude I'll have to get the Tales anthology. I love shit like that.

I would also like to get the best of to, that would be awesome.

[dmihatmttl]

Read 'em all . . . .

Man, that is really *fantastic* stuff! Keep up the great work!


I would love to see what you guys could do with an adaptation of one of my stories.


Seriously -- damn fine work. Keep it up!

Wrong Forum!! I am Moving you to Comics.

[The_Return]

Wow!


Just read the rest of them, looking forward to more, keep up the awesome work!

[Aaron Weisbrod]

Thanks for all of the kind words, everyone... as well as for moving this thread to the proper forum! :o

NIGHTMARE WORLD is still going strong and will be for the foreseeable future... so fear not!

We're taking this week off just to relax (the first time in two years! :eek: ) but we're starting our next story next THursday on January 6th! That's plenty of time for all ya'll to get caught-up if you haven't read the stories... or at least been to the site recently. ;)

Oh... we also *FINALLY* got around to sort of doing a "Best Of..." anthology collecting three stories from the site as well as a new eight-pager written by me and illustrated by Josh Ross -- you can find out about it (and order a copy of your own) from the front page of the site! :D

Again, thanks for the kind words everyone! If you dig the work everyone is putting into the site feel free to spread the word to your friends! :cool:

Hey! Thanks for the props, Toonmom! Greatly appreciated! :)

The first two as in "Momma's Boy" and "You Oughta Know" or the first two listed at the top of the site? ("Sleep Now in the Fire" and "The Same Deep Water As You")

Eiether way, thanks for the nice comments! :)

By the way -- I live in Toledo as well! WHOA! What are the chances of that? :p

Drop me an e-mail some time -- we'll have to talk. ;)

Best wishes,
Aaron Weisbrod

P.S. -- By the way, our next story starts TOMORROW, Thursday January 6, 2005. It's the first part of another brand-new story -- one that's gonna feature A LOT of HUGE monsters... you have been warned... :D

[toonmom]

Wow, a fellow Toledoen!
The first two as in Mama's Boy and You Oughta Know. I really look forward to reading the rest.

[toonmom]

I just read the next 3 - Run Like Hell, How Do you Sleep?, and Bitter Wine. I must say, I didn't care for those as much as the first 2. The art in all of them are great though and the stories have a Creepshow kind of feel to them (IMO), which I really like. I will continue until I have read them all.

One of the things I wanted to do with the series when I first started was make sure that every story was a totally different genre, while still sort of keepin' in a certain vein of story.

As a result you'll see everything from zombies to Cthulhu to video games to Sherlock Holmes to faries to Merrows to Elvira covered in one way or another... with even more fun stuff to come down the road! :p

Heck, we have a CAVEMAN story running in March! :eek:

Sorry -- I just get excited and babble too much. I'll shut-up now. ;)

Best wishes,
Aaron Weisbrod

P.S.-- If you pay close attention, come, say, tomorrow, you may see a certain character or two from "You Oughta Know" making return appearances since I love that particular story so much. lol In fact, I even did a prose sequal to it in the STEVE NILES PRESENTS: TALES FROM THE INNER SANCTUM #1 anthology!!! (Yes, THAT Steve Niles -- the 30 DAYS OF NIGHT guy. You can get the details about the book on the NIGHTMARE WORLD website by clicking the "Store" link at the top of the page. :cool: )

[toonmom]

I just finished Knee Deep in the Dead, one of my favorites so far.

BTW - I emailed you the other day Aaron, haven't heard back from you though. Did you get it?

[The_Return]

Wow, this new one is looking awesome so far!

1st one I havnt been able to read the whole way through, lol.....the suspence is killing me!

Thanks for the kind words!

The biggest compliment we can get is knowing that we are keeping people in suspense... :p

Part Two went online late Thursday night... but here's a hint for Part Three (which will be going-up this Thursday):

Monsters. Lots and LOTS of monsters. :eek:

Best wishes,
Aaron Weisbrod

[Aaron Weisbrod]

Hey all... just a quick heads-up that Part Three of DISASTERPIECE is now online at www.NightmareWorld.com...

Those of you who've wanted to see a battle-royal with Lovecraftian monsters need look no further... ;)

Check it out and let us know what you think! :D

I just finished reading Try Honesty, that was a great story! Do doubt, my favorite so far. I am still making my way through though.

[The_Return]

I've got no probs with it at all but I think maybe its the mention of 'free comics' thats let him off a bit. Very interestin.

Brilliant site though.

I love comics and graphic novels-have not seen anything that stirs me since the whole Sandman thing with Neil Gaiman started up back in-nevermind when-I have not been excited with any new stuff since checking this website of yours.

You guys are going to be famous-no question-none.

I'm really stoked about the NIGHTMARE WORLD: Volume 1 graphic novel being released as well... in fact, I have a copy of it sitting next to me right now. :D

You can order it through your local comic shop (it's being released thruough Funnel Cloud 9 Publications) or order a signed/personalized copy through the website by the middle of August... ;)

Oh -- and I think we're gonna do some T-shirts as well. Really. :eek:

Thanks again for the kind words, man! I'm honored and humbled that NIGHTMARE WORLD brings you so much joy! :)

Hey all!

Sorry I was away for the summer... busy takin' classes and all that stuff.

Regardless, yeah, signed graphic novels *AND* the new black NIGHTMARE WORLD: "Cthulhu is my Homeboy" T-shirts are now available through the site and the NIGHTMARE WORLD Message Board!!!

Go-go-go check 'em out!

Good to see you back Aaron.
How did the comic conventions go??

[The_Return]

"comicbook shops everywhere" you say? I really dont like buying off the net...but if I could order it from a comic shop, Ill definatly look into one of the books, for sure!

By the way...keep up the good work man! Just got around to finishing reading "Mine" now...one of the best endings yet, IMO.

[noctuary]

Really, really cool stuff, Aaron. Some (but not all) of the stories could use a little fleshing out, but the eight page format works a lot better than I would have expected. I'm not trying to rag on you, just to offer a little positive criticism. Being the Lovecraft fan that I am, I really enjoyed the comics with Mythos themes. Seriously, keep up the good work. With the amount of talent that you guys display, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the major publishers come calling.

Love your avatar, by the way.

[Aaron Weisbrod]

Hey all! Thanks for the kind words!!!

NOVAKRU: The Chicago Convention was the bomb, man! I had a blast! Now I just need to find a list of good horror conventions to start going to... lol Any tips/advice?

RETURN: Yessir!!! You can order the book through any local comic shop!!! Just tell them you want a copy of NIGHTMARE WORLD: "Knee Deep in the Dead" and other Tales of Terror" through Funnel Cloud 9 Publishing. :D Let me know if they give you any grief and we'll work something out... ;) By the way, thanks for the props on "Mine"... I was afraid that story was going to tick EVERYONE off... but it ended-up working-out really well. :D

NOCTUARY: Thanks for the kind words, man! It's funny -- the only semi-complaint I ever hear about NW is that sometimes people want more to certain stories... but I'm a jerk who likes to leave people wanting more. :p Seriously, though, thanks for the kind words, man. VERY appreciated -- especially from another mythos fan! :cool:

Hmmm... that I'm not so sure of. You *should* be able to... but I would call them first and check.

That, or you can order the NIGHTMARE WORLD Package Deal from me directly:

It includes a signed NW Volume 1 graphic novel, a black "Cthulhu is my Homeboy" T-shirt, and a signed "Tales from the Inner Sanctum #1" (out of print and featuring my first ever published work) all for $25...

Wow! THANKS!!! :D

I don't know if you saw this or not, but I actually wrote a denouncement to that story in the NIGHTMARE WORLD Forum detailing the inspiration for the story and what it was about...

It's in the thread titled "In My Darkest Hour" Part 4 (of 4), and you can get to the Message Board through the NIGHTMARE WORLD main site or by clicking HERE (http://www.digitalwebbing.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=63).

As you'll see, this was a VERY personal story for me...

I just read it.
That gave me chills.
Sorry for your loss,(my mom's dog died about a year and half ago,and she still gets up in the middle of the night to let the dog out),very sad,losing a friend.

[The_Return]

These can be read over so many times, and still be just as good as the first time. I just finished reading a few of my favourites again, still awesome man.

BTW- Havnt had a chance to call the booksore yet, but I migth have a chance to be out that way tomorrow or the next day, in which case Ill stop in. Hopefully I can get it from them, but if not Ill drop you a line...

[Aaron Weisbrod]

Thank you both for your kind words. :)

I just finsihed proof-reading the NIGHTMARE WORLD Volume 2 (!!!) collection for the last time, and man, does it rock socks.

Don't get me wrong -- the first collection is rock friggin' solid -- but Volume 2? This one is pure magic. :D

Thirteen FULL-LENGTH stories (including a brand-new eight-pager, a completely redrawn version of "Bitter Wine" byMark Winters", and the Uber-Director's Cut of "The Thing That Should Not Be"), a cover gallery, a wrap-around cover, and an introduction by Jason (SWORD OF DRACULA) Henderson... all for under $13.

Good gravy... I think I just wet my pants a little. :o

We're also currently firming-up plans for the stories that will be in the third collection this winter... and things just keep getting better and better. :eek:

It's a good day. :p

Bah, the place never even HEARED of Nightmare World!! What a travesty!!


Im a bit short on dough at the moment, but if you take Paypal, Ill order....something. New collection sounds rather enticing, I dunno which Ill get....but Ill definatly be ordering something in the near future:cool:

I doubt that I'll EVER get that famous (or even close), but if I do, rest assured, I *never* forget about my peeps. ;)

EVER.

It's quite sad, really... :p

I'm a sentimental fella like that.

Just finished reading them ALL over again, trying to decide which is my favourite. I gotta say No One Knows has to be the best, in my opinion...Break Stuff could be a runner up, or The Day I Tried to Live. There's No Room for you Here apeals to the massive superhero fan inside me, and the incredible ending of Mine definatly makes it a conteneder.....aw hell, I cant decide, they're all amazing!

[Aaron Weisbrod]

"Let's Have a War" is now complete and online at www.NightmareWorld.com (http://www.NightmareWorld.com)...

I'd extend the deal for you without a problem (since you're such a big and vocal NIGHTMARE WORLD fan)... but I only also have four shirts left!!! :eek:

Best wishes,
Aaron

Just finished sending the order:D


Looking forward to it:cool:

[The_Return]

Whoooo hoooooo!!!



Just got it outta the good ol' mail box. Havnt had a chance to actually read any of 'em, but I glanced through, and it looks incredible. Shirt fits, too:D

[The_Return]

Gotta say the new story is looking great! Im really looking forawrd to the conclusion

[The_Return]

It'll be a sad day when you reach the end man....although your new project does sound promising! I know you wont let your fans down:p

[The_Return]

Wow...

Freak on a Leash was great, however I have to say it had a very disturbing ending. Nice Work!

[Aaron Weisbrod]

Thanks, man!

I really wanted to go with a "realistic" horror story in FREAK ON A LEASH... I hope I succeeded in freaking people out a bit (no pun intended). :p

That aside, the NIGHTMARE WORLD stories these style of NIGHTMARE WORLD stories be running until #50... so don't worry... we've got a while to go yet.

HOWEVER, the new series -- which will run alongside NIGHTMARE WORLD "classic" -- starts in June! :eek:

6-6-06 to be exact... :D

There is going to be a preview image posted soon... and this new series is going to blow people away. :D

[The_Return]

It was looking like I was going to be the only one posting here, nice to see you around these parts again!

Really looking foraward to this new project, sounds very intriguing...

[noctuary]

The newest story was so sad... Damn fanatics. :mad: :(

Sorry 'bout that! :o

I've been around, just CRAZY busy prepping the second series, making plans, and all kinds of other drama. :D

If a RHEE preview image isn't posted in this forum in a week post and remind me, OK? :p

I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way, but I'm glad you thought it was sad! :p

I was really nervous about this story -- whether or not people would be "bummed" that there was no proper monster or supernatural element in it... but to me, that's what makes it all the more horrifying! :eek:

Glad ya' dug it. NIGHTMARE WORLD #37 deals with a completely different kind of religious fanaticism... and #38 is a real werewolf one... although not at all in the way you might expect! ;)

(And no, I didn't ruin anything by telling you that. TRUST ME... :D )

[novakru]

Good to see you still around here.
I am keeping up with the Nightmare series and as aways-very impressed.

Yeah, it was an excellent story. For what it's worth, I'd like to see you guys do some more "realistic" stories. I love the supernatural elements as well, but this is something new. As always, best of luck to you.

Yeah... we make it a point to NEVER repeat ourselves, and that's going to be more evident than ever in the coming months... :D

Oh, we have SUCH sights to show you! :cool:

[The_Return]

I must say, Preys be the Lured has one of the best covers Ive seen in a long while. Nice job!

[The_Return]

Pssst...

You said to remind you if you didn't post a preview of Mr. Rhee. I saw in n the site and it looks AMAZING, but I figured I still aughta remind you:)

Sorry guys. Always feel this thread needs to be at the top of the comics forum.

You guys are silly... but not as silly as THIS:

You can read the story at www.NightmareWorld.com (http://www.NightmareWorld.com), of course!

Let me know what you think, ya'll!

Thanks for the support! Sorry I've been so busy! :o

(By the way -- if anyone knows how to get ahold of the ADMINISTRATOR of these forums, could they please PM me the details? Thanks!)

[The_Return]

Hungry Like the Wolf was a great story, I really enjoyed it.

[The_Return]

No update this week?:(

[The_Return]

Wow!

Im lovin' the new site layout! Looks great, but I'd sure like to see all the old issues back...

On top of that, the first page of Mr. Rhee looks really intriguing. Looks like more great work from the NW team...not that I was expecting anything less of course:D

[Preacher]

Cough!!!!

Ah... it's good to be back... not that I ever left, of course. ;)

Thank you guys for keeping the faith while I... attended to some things. :)

It is VERY appreciated "The Return" and "Preacher." Thank you, my friends.

We just finished the first chapter of TALES OF MR. RHEE over at www.NightmareWorld.com (http://www.NightmareWorld.com), as well as NIGHTAMRE WORLD #41: "A Therapy For Pain"... a story that should help those of you paying attention to help connect the dots concerning our grand backstory...

We also made a movie that might just help you in your quest to piece everything together... check it out:

http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=c5274b2a9ced5b1c3491b&skin_id=0&utm_source=otm&utm_medium=text_url

So... how's that for a dramatic re-entrance? :D

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

[The_Return]

At this point, I actually think Im enjoying Mr. Rhee more than NW to be honest. Both are fantastic.

Im loving the evolving storyline...I have my theories, but Id rather keep them to myself for the time being;)

PS-

Im most excited to see how "No One Knows" fits in. Its been one of my favourite stories right from when I started reading NW. I have some ideas on how it might fir in, but Im sure yours are better so I'll keep mine to myself:p

PPS-

I really hope it doesnt fit in the obvious way (the whole thing is just episodes of the show). I must say...Id be disapointed.

PPPS -

Ya, I probably should have thought this post through more before I posted it in the first place. I just wanted to welcome you to HDC, Dirk! It was always nice to see Aaron around on occasion, hopefully you follow in his footsteps;)

[Dirk Manning]

It indeed seems to be Dirk Manning's lot in life to follow that other "Aaron" guy around everywhere cleaning-up his messes. :D

Rest assured, it is not going to turn-out that all of the stories are episodes of the show. God... that would be CHEAP... and Dirk Manning doesn't do cheap. :p

As for how NO ONE KNOWS fits in... I assure you... it's a doozy. :cool:

We've had some doozies on the theories... feel free to post 'em at the official Message Board if you wish. ;)

We are all lovin' TALES OF MR. RHEE as well... and I assure you... the best os yet to come. Wait until you see the "splash" (heh) Josh Ross drew for Chapter 4... ;)

I'll be around more often... fear not.

Wait... or should that make you all MORE afraid?!? :eek:

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

[novakru]

Hadn't been to check out the NW site all summer.
It's still high artistic quality as usual.

Mr.Rhee looks stellar.:)

Thanks for wandering back to our part of teh woods... errr... web. ;)

We're now updating with MR. RHEE on Tuesdays and NIGHTMARE WORLD (classic) on Thursdays... so be sure to swing by often!

I'm also glad you're diggin' RHEE. I assure you -- we're just getting started... :D

Wait until Chapter 4. WOWZA. :eek:

SINcerely,

[jesterpress]

I've sent you a friends request...now don't you feel special!

[Dirk Manning]

Yes... yes I do. :D

I even accepted it... how special do YOU feel? :p

(Oh, MySpace... how I love you...)

SINcerely,

[CrimsonFiend138]

You guys are awesome, GREAT COMICS and you dont even charge. You guys are fuckin sweet :)

I loved the Trust you Mechanic because thats is so true.

People are so quick to judge. LOL you guys are awsome, I hope more people find out about you guys.

[Preacher]

Yo.....

Where's Aaron these days??? You guys throw him out the balloon??

[The_Return]

Dude, I have to say...I love the clever little in-jokes in mostof the stories, but man...

Dirk's Perk? DIRK'S PERK??

All I can say is "Wow".

Sprechen sie English????

[AmericanManiac]

To be honest with you I have never read a comic book, but I am thinking about getting a few Horror ones. Any suggestions ?

[The_Return]

I must admit that I let myself get a little behind on reading NW in the past little while, but I just got all caught up and let me tell you...Im still as impressed as ever.

The last page of "My Own Prison" is probably the most powerful thing that Ive read on the site. Mr. Rhee is shaping up to be pretty damn good IMO.

[Roderick Usher]

To be honest with you I have never read a comic book, but I am thinking about getting a few Horror ones. Any suggestions ?

There are some inexpensive reprints of old 1960s Ec Comics, like The Haunt of Fear & Tales From the Crypt

Also the original 30 Days of Night trade paperback (a compendium of the first story arc in this ever-expanding franchise) is a great place to start

[Despare]

Just read my first couple of this series, Violet and Life In a Glass House... cool stuff. Good job.

[The_Return]

Man, Im loving the way everything is falling together. "In the Meantime" was just flat-out mindblowing!

[Dirk Manning]

Yo.....

Where's Aaron these days??? You guys throw him out the balloon??

Well... while I certainly can't speak for Aaron... *ahem*

Dirk Manning is back!!!

www.NightmareWorld.com (http://www.NightmareWorld.com) ran into some webhosting problems a while back that took us off-line for a few months... but we're back in effect, ya'll... and I don't want any of you to think I forgot about my old school peeps here.

I'm not afraid to say this... *sniff*... I missed you guys!

A lot has been shakin' with NIGHTMARE WORLD (http://www.NightmareWorld.com) since my last appearance here, including a new publishing deal with APE COMICS and... wait for it... a BRAND NEW GRAPHIC NOVEL THAT'S SET TO BE RELEASED ON HALLOWEEN DAY!!!

It's late, and I'm tired, but here's some details... as well as a peek at the cover... be sure to let me know what you think! :cool:

***

NIGHTMARE WORLD Volume 1: "The Long Hard Road Out of Hell" is now available for pre-order in PREVIEWS.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/dirkmanning/hellcoverFINALweb.gif

The book is 144 booty-whuppin' pages and contains 13 NIGHTMARE WORLD stories (a majority of which have never been in print ANYWHERE), an introduction by Rex Mundi scribe Arvid Nelson, over 13 new never-before-seen-full color illustrations that introduce and "frame" the narrative of the stories and a massive sketchbook section (including character designs, script samples and more)... all topped-off with a gorgeous cover by Kristen Perry... and all for $19.95.

That's a helluva lot of horror goodness for less than a twenty-dollar bill, folks.

The book will is scheduled to be on shelves nationwide Halloween Day... BUT ONLY IF WE GET ENOUGHT PRE-ORDERS.

Remember, folks, I'm not working for Marvel or DC, and that means that MOST STORES WILL ONLY STOCK THIS BOOK IS YOU PRE-ORDER IT FROM THEM. That doesn't mean you'll have to pay for it upfront -- you won't have to do that until the book comes in -- but we need to hit a certain pre-order minimum in order to ensure my publisher that we can send the book to press.

After all, printing full-color graphic novels ain't exactly cheap, you know?

So -- that's where things stand now. Contact your local comicbook shop and ask them to PRE-ORDER you a copy of NIGHTMARE WORLD Volume 1. It's on Page 230 of PREVIEWS and the ORDER CODE is AUG07-3372.

To say I've poured my life and soul into this book -- especially considering everything that's been going on behind the scenes in my life this past year -- would be an understatement... so I'm now putting everything in all of your capable hands...

If this book is successful we can move forward with more volumes... hopefully eventually completing the whole 52 story sage in four neat graphic novels... let's make that happen.

Onwards. ONWARDS!!!

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

Hey man!!!

I just wanted to spill a few quick beans here for ya':

1) "No One Knows" plays a HUGE part in the "big story" going on behind the scenes.... and stories #51 and #52 (the final two stories of the series) will show just how much. Rest assured, though, that these various stories aren't all just TV shows... far from it. ;)

2) When the website temporarily went ka-blooee Josh Ross, Austin McKinley, Jim Reddington and I took a hiatus from TALES OF MR. RHEE... but we're now gearing back towards getting that series back on track, too. Plan on seeing the adventures of Mr. Rhee continuing by October... if not sooner... and rest assured... RHEE will just keep getting better and better! :cool:

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

Love it, & still LOVIN Mr.Rhee!:cool:

[Dirk Manning]

Thanks, man!

There's still some tweakin' I want to do to it... but it's getting there. ;)

Did you catch the "preview story" of the new series FARSEEKER by myself and Len O'Grady and/or and the finale of NIGHTMARE WORLD when they were online?

Lemme know, bro!

SINcerely,

[Dirk Manning]

Hey all!

I know I haven't been around here in a while... but with good reason, I swear!

NIGHTMARE WORLD was recently picked-up by Image/Shadowline Comics as part of their new "webcomics" division! Believe it! :eek: :eek: :eek:

We're currently in the middle of our tenth story (as of this posting) and update with a page a week every Monday through Thursday.

Check it out by clicking HERE (http://www.shadowlinecomics.com/webcomics/#/nightmareworld) and let us know what you think!

Thanks for your continued support, everyone!

Trust me when I say: I remember who our true "old school" horror fans are. ;)

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

[Dirk Manning]

Hey all!

OK... so I know it's been awhile... but hopefully you still remember us.

I posted a while back that NIGHTMARE WORLD was picked-up by Image Comics/Shadowline as part of their webcomics hub, right?

The link is HERE (http://www.shadowlinecomics.com/webcomics/#/nightmareworld).

Well, I'm uber-pleased to announce that due to the overwhelming success of the series that they're now also taking us to print!

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/dirkmanning/NWV1cover-web-lettered.jpg

NIGHTMARE WORLD: "13 Tales of Terror" Vol. 1 will be hitting shelves nationwide in October and is now available for pre-order through Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1607061562/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp) for under $11 (that's 33% off cover price!) or, if you act fast, Discount Comic Book Service (http://dcbservice.com/search.aspx?search=nightmare%20world) for $7.99 (that's 50% off cover price!).

We finally made it to the big-time, folks... and I thank old-school fans like all of you for helping to make that happen.

Now, if you're new to the series I also encourage you to check it out at the link above. It's free, we have 25 stories and over 220 pages of content already online for free and we update a page a day ever Monday through Thursday without fail.

Check it out, let us know your thoughts and, most importantly, pre-order a copy if you like what you see.

Thanks all!

I hope all is going well and I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the series soon!

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

[TypH]

the cover looks really good Dirk, keep up the good work on it all!

Thanks, TypH!

I'm pleased to announce here (for the first time ANYWHERE!) that Kristen Simon is also providing the two-part cover to NIGHTMARE WORLD Volume Two: "Leave the Light On" that is being released by Image Comics/Shadowline this October!

It's a little too early to show it off quite yet... but rest assured, it's even creepier than the cover of Volume One! :eek:

I hope you're all still diggin' NIGHTMARE WORLD (http://www.NightmareWorld.com) online, too. We've added several new stories to the mix since joining Image Comics... so if you haven't swung by in a while (or ever, for that matter) now is the perfect time to do so!

Thanks, all! Be sure to let us know what you think!

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

[TypH]

awesome new Dirk, im sure Kristen is gonna do a great job on the cover for it! can't wait to see it!
