[comix] RICH TOMMASO'S 8½ GHOSTS
IN DECEMBER FROM ALTERNATIVE
Gainesville, Florida, July 12, 2003: Alternative Comics has announced that it will release cartoonist Rich Tommaso’s
8½ Ghosts in December 2003.
8½ Ghosts
Paul Massina is a B-movie hack who knows he could become an A-list director, if only the studios would kick in more funding for his new horror film. But Fate hands him the perfect low budget prop — an enormous Victorian home, haunted by eight real ghosts! Once Paul has convinced the spectres to perform in his film, all he has to do is keep his actors calm and his film costs low. But what about that ½ ghost at the story’s end...? Rich Tommaso's newest comic, complete in one issue, might be described as a cross between Fellini's
8½ and William Castle's
13 Ghosts as reimagined by Jack Cole — but we think you'll agree there's never been anything like it!
By Rich Tommaso, Deluxe oversized 7½” x 11½”, 24pg, $3.95, ISBN 1-891867-45-8
Rich Tommaso was a student of The Joe Kubert Art School where he learned many techniques that he still today puts to use in his comics. He learned other things there that he would never put to use in his comics as well. He quit school after his first year there, never being interested in a career drawing superheroes and instead spent many years making pizza while trying to find more personal things to write and draw about. In this area, he has been mildly successful, sometimes focusing his stories upon his own life experiences, while other times falling back on just “making things up.” He’s worked for many companies such as: Fantagraphics, Top Shelf, and Dark Horse and became fed-up with bouncing around from one to the other until he finally found a home in 2003 at Alternative Comics.
