Cover for THE HOUSE OF MONTRESOR

So excited to finally be able to show this off....

This is the new cover for THE HOUSE OF MONTRESOR, my new graphic novel with art by the stupendous Jason Strutz, and a sequel to Edgar Allan Poe's Cask of Amontillado!


written by me, art by Jason Strutz
 
HOUSE OF MONTRESOR is a full-length graphic novel, continuing Poe's classic story, beginning 50 years after the villainous Montresor claimed the life of his hated enemy, Fortunato. For more info about this new book, please visit RedStylo.com.

Also, as I'm writing this, I realize I never posted the announcement for my Cask adaptation on this blog, so I'll go ahead and include a link to that here too.


Happy reading, everyone!

ANGEL WITH A BULLET, my new collection

Posted at Redstylo.com on 4/23:

Enrica Jang here, excited to announce a new collection of comic stories by....me! ANGEL WITH A BULLET is a 4-part series of short comic stories, each inspired by a song from American music legend, Tom Waits.



In keeping with RSM tradition, this series is not an adaptation of any Tom Waits song. Rather, all of the stories are original, stand-alone titles, with their own characters and histories. Readers readers should recognize inspiration born out of lyrics or performances from Waits. Hopefully my fellow Waits fanatics will enjoy my homage to this great American master.

The stories will be released throughout the year, and we'll make announcements about artists and pages-in-progress as time rolls on. For now, stories include:

ANGEL WITH A BULLET: inspired by "Romeo is Bleeding." Gut-shot and betrayed, undercover Agent Angelo Carlos has one last chance to make his case. Art by Robert Grove.

DOWNTOWN TRAIN: 8-page story, inspired by the Waits song of the same name. Stevie is a New York street-performer with big dreams, singing for her supper in the subway. But dreams don't always come true in the dirty underground. Art by Lora Innes.

YOLO: inspired by, "Tango Til They're Sore." Meet Artie--undertaker by day, Dead Man Beauchamp, pachuco player, by night. There's a jazz club under new management in New Orleans, and Artie will do just about anything to get in.

HOLD ON: inspired by the song of the same title. A long time ago, Trina's mommy went away to live in California. But Trina's still likes to talk to her on the phone...even when her mommy isn't there.

Posting WIPs from the first story this weekend, and hoping to debut the first of the collection at Special Edition: NYC this summer! Keep your eyes here...
