\u00ab\u00a0TURF has been such a labor of love for me,\u00a0\u00bb added artist Tommy Lee Edwards. \u00ab\u00a0It’s really done for people who love comics, and created by people who love comics.\u00a0 I’m so lucky to have grown up a comics fan, and having Michael and Dave and Steranko, Stout, Chang, Lafuente, and all these artists I admire so much grace our covers has been a dream come true.\u00a0\u00bb As one of the artists that will now join that impressive list, Michael Kaluta exclaimed, \u00ab\u00a0I’ve run out of superlatives! Doing a cover for this book is like going to the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay to draw from the Toulouse-Lautrec art: I can honor it in my heart and try my best to come up to its standard, but, in the end, I walk away in awe!\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIn TURF #5, the final battle has begun. The recently swollen ranks of the Vampire Family commence their endgame in a quest for control over the streets of Manhattan. The city\u2019s cops are firmly in the family pockets and the roots of The First Vampire – The Bloodfather \u2013 are ready to be fed with a steady supply of unwilling sacrifices. The former gang boss Eddie Falco has decided to lead a group of reluctant heroes against this growing tide of supernatural horror.\u00a0 But when teamed with Samual Kane and his Uptown Racketeers, the half-human\/half-vampire Dragonmir brothers and Squeed the alien, Eddie must face the sobering reality that, when the odds look this grave, such an awkward alliance can only last for so long.<\/p>\n

TURF #5 (JUN100473, Kaluta Var Cvr JUN100474 and Gibbons Var Cvr JUN100475), a 40-page full color horror\/noir\/sci-fi comic book will be in stores April 27, 2011 for $2.99. For more information, visit www.TurfComic.com.<\/p>\n
