VITIATORS (horror comic inspired by manga & anime)

[Elytron Frass]

Illustrated by Charles N. & scripted by Elytron Frass, VITIATORS is a sprawling work-in progress graphic novel - a Western spin on the Japanese subgenre known as ero-guro-nansensu (erotic grotesque nonsense). Hinted at within our preview, VITIATORS is set in a 2-D world of text & image in which its mangaka pens himself into a god in order to compete with his disgruntled readers who've transcended even him. Characters themselves are at the mercy of a metawar which they cannot perceive. Enjoy the lengthy preview below (which scratches just the avant-guro surface of VITIATORS' world).https://www.guerrillaconcepts.com/post/ ... -vitiators

I'm pretty impressed - this feels like Junji Ito mixed with Jack T. Chick, if that makes any sense. And that's a good thing in my opinion!

thnx so much! fans of both (unironically and ironically, respectively)
we're currently in post production, tidying up a few pages/panels and doing some other edits.
I'll update once again once we've found a publisher (or self-publish).
