Elsinore (comics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elsinore is an American comic book published by Devil's Due Productions. It is written by Ken Lillie-Paetz and currently pencilled by Mark Sparacio.
Elsinore tells the tale of Murchison, a shamed doctor who was recruited by the titular asylum in order to help bring about the apocalypse. The series is slated to run for eight issues and collected into, presumably, two trade paperbacks.
[edit] History
The comic was originally published by Alias Comics, but moved to their current publisher as of issue 4, a part of “Devil's Due Presents….” While at Alias, the book was pencilled by Brian Denham. Denham also submitted a few pages to issue 4 (amid an array of guest artists), as well as covers to issues 4 and 5. As of issue 5, Mark Sparacio is said to be the new regular artist on the series.
In the first two issues, two pages were printed incorrectly, leaving the lettering out entirely. In issue 1, this didn't affect the plot. In #2, however, a key plot point was missing in the dialogue. To make up for this, and to encourage new readers to pick up the book after its transition to Devil's Due, the publisher made the first three issues available for free online.
Additionally, Devil's Due plans to release a trade paperback collecting issues 1-4, called Psycho Sancti.
The electronic-industrial band Weave composed a companion soundtrack for Elsinore called Cell 29A. Additionally, Weave's video for their song “While i Bern Their Bodies Kleen” features characters from Elsinore.
