John Dolmayan (System Of A Down) and his forthcoming collection Lifeless Samurai! The zombie thriller will see its first situation launch on October ninth, that includes cowl artwork by Invoice Sienkiewicz and inside artwork by Ryan Benjamin. I’d love to debate establishing an interview with John to deep dive into this horror story, set in sixteenth century feudal Japan, in addition to his ardour for the comedian e-book world, operating his personal shops, and extra.
As a toddler, Dolmayan would make the most of his $5 per week allowance to buy new problems with his favourite collection, and in time, finally started promoting off again points by way of newspaper advertisements and at conventions. After just a few years of honing his entrepreneurial expertise, Dolmayan was making more cash promoting comics than he was working at “actual” jobs.
Dolmayan took a step again from the comedian world when he joined System Of A Down in 1997, although he by no means gave up accumulating. Touring with the band allowed him to discover comedian e-book shops, retailers, and vintage treasures all all over the world, searching for classic, high-end titles that weren’t available. Throughout uncommon breaks from the street, he would return to conventions to proceed promoting his finds.
These pop-ups finally led to the launch of Torpedo Comics in 2003 – Dolmayan’s first brick-and-mortar comedian e-book store in Las Vegas. It has since expanded into three extra shops situated all through Southern California, all specializing in uncommon and hard-to-find titles.
Dolmayan has taken his love for comics even additional by creating and authoring his personal collection. His first physique of labor, Ascencia,is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller set 150 years sooner or later that explores the query: how far will human civilization go to achieve immortality?
We’re extremely excited to launch the primary situation of Lifeless Samurai subsequent month! Collectors can stay up for variant covers by Jim Lee (President, Writer, and Chief Inventive Officer of DC Comics), Artwork Adams(Implausible 4, Hulk, Final Comics: X, The Rocketeer), Frank Miller (Sin Metropolis, Daredevil, The Darkish Knight Returns), Frank Cho (Final Spiderman, Avengers vs. X-Males, Hellboy) and extra.
