Alterna Comics Announces Third Printing of the "The Chair"


Alterna Comics has sent us information that they've announced at San Diego Comic Con that they will be printing a third edition one of their most popular releases "The Chair". The book will also be adapted into an upcoming film staring Roddy Piper, Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Noah Hathaway (NeverEnding Story), Naomi Grossman (American Horror Story), Tim Muskatell (Deadgirl), and Bill Oberst Jr. (Daytime Emmy Winner for "Take this Lollipop").

The third edition of "The Chair" will be released in the fall.

For more information on the upcoming film release of "The Chair", you can goto: thechairhorror.com

Press Release:

Alterna Comics is set to debut the third edition of one of its most popular releases - THE CHAIR. A flagship title of the company, THE CHAIR was created, written, inked, and lettered by Alterna founder/publisher Peter Simeti with pencils by Kevin Christensen.

Witnessing savage killings at the hands of the prison's sadistic Warden and his cruel guards, an innocent man must match their brutality and confront his own horrifying past if he hopes to survive. Described as a psychological horror thriller that takes place on death row, the graphic novel has recently spurned a film adaptation.

Simeti states, "I think there's a central theme to THE CHAIR that really resonates with people. Sure, it's a psychological thriller with horror overtones but at its heart it's a story about the powerful versus the powerless. Even when the story seems to take one twist and turn after the other, that theme is always present."

This latest edition of THE CHAIR is available for preorder exclusively through the book market via IPG ($17.99, BW, 232 pages) and is set to debut in stores this September, just in time for the Halloween season. There are currently no official plans to solicit the book through Diamond's PREVIEWS catalog though.

"We've solicited and re-solicited various editions of THE CHAIR through PREVIEWS over the past few years, so while a part of me would love to solicit the book again for the fourth or fifth time, I feel that it might be a bit of overkill at this point." Simeti goes on, "With that said though, if there are comic shops that would love to stock the latest edition, I'm more than happy to be of service and work with them directly. Otherwise, we'll probably hold off and solicit it once the film is officially released everywhere."

For more information on the upcoming film starring Roddy Piper, Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Noah Hathaway (NeverEnding Story), Naomi Grossman (American Horror Story), Tim Muskatell (Deadgirl), and Bill Oberst Jr. (Daytime Emmy Winner for "Take this Lollipop") can be found at thechairhorror.com

The film will be making its world premiere on the rooftop of  Our Wicked Lady in Brooklyn, NY on July 28th.   Screening time is 8pm.

Press Release:

Ladies of the Night agree that the "Hectic" keeps the scumbag sick perverts that lurk the dark alleys of a crime stricken city at bay, at least for now! Finally a vigilante with some street-credit and a psychological paradox that doesn't involve bourgeois baggage and Daddy-issues! Troma Entertainment has acquired "Hectic Knife", an action-horror-comedy film directed by Greg DeLiso. The new acquisition will be celebrated this month with a New YorkCity Premiere Brooklyn rooftop screening at Our Wicked Lady at 8:00 PM on July 28th, 2016 as a pre-party fundraising event for TromaDance, the companies Film Festival which runs the weekend of July 29th and 30th. it was announced today by Lloyd Kaufman, prexy of Troma Entertainment and creator of The Toxic Avenger.

DeLiso cites Troma Entertainment as an early influence and inspiration in his pursuit of filmmaking;

"Of all the self help, directing 101, learn how to talk to actors nonsense out there, the only real nugget of truth comes from Lloyd Kaufman: Make Your Own Damn Movie. That's the most important thing. But, for me the next most important thing is working with a distribution company like Troma that understands that the best thing for a movie is for people to see it! Viva la Troma! -- the only company out there that understands movies and movie makers!"

DeLiso's movie portrays a down and out crime-fighting, knife-wielding vigilante hero (character, "Hectic Knife", played by Peter Litvin), who faces a life-changing disruption when a new super villain, the evil "Piggly Doctor" (played by J.J. Brine), arrives in town. .

Will Hectic be able to find the chosen technology in time to save the entire world!?

Some of the answers to these questions, plus tons of blood, babes and bagels (?!) populate this insane and graphic pulp comedy/slasher!

The carefully crafted retro feel to Hectic Knife is a reverential nod to cinematic symbolism, and film archetypes are referenced throughout the course of the movie. Characters experience inexplicable flashbacks, imagery like a lone tear traveling down the withered hero's cheek and Mighty Aphrodite -esque hookers with a heart of gold weave together to tell Hectic's story.

This bizarre and hilarious, genre-bending comedy is a modern marvel of movie-making from the school of Tromatic Tradition!

The rooftop screening at Our Wicked Lady on July 28th will be attended by director Greg DeLiso along with a Q & A after the film. The event is a pre-party fundraiser for The 17th Annual TromaDance, Troma Entertainment's free to submit, free to attend celebrated Film Festival that includes both short and feature length movies from international independent filmmakers that is followed by a World Famous afterparty, also free to guests!

KIM & KIM is a day-glo action adventure that’s bursting with energy and enthusiasm and puts queer women and trans women front and center.

Badass besties Kim and Kim are out to make a name for themselves in the wild world of interdimensional cowboy law enforcement – and they very quickly end up in way over their heads.

Blending the punk exuberance of TANK GIRL with the buddy adventure wackiness of SUPERBAD (if Michael Cera was a trans woman and Jonah Hill a queergirl partner in crime), Kim & Kim focuses on the power and meaning of female friendships as engines of validation. A bright, happy, punk rock sci fi adventure that is queer as shit.
