Created by screenwriter\/author Stephen Romano, the book will be released\u00a0 in a deluxe, oversized 9\u201d x 12\u201d hardcover edition.\u00a0 It is recommended for mature readers only. An elaborate work of illustrated fiction, Shock Festival\u00a0 is a raunchy and hilarious tale of imaginary\u00a0 exploitation films, brought to life with hundreds of original movie<!--more-->\u00a0posters and memorabilia items.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Romano (The Riot Act, Masters of Horror) joined forces with legendary comic artist\/film designer Tim Bradstreet (Hellblazer) and film actor\/director Thomas Jane (The Mist, The Punisher) to create Shock Festival. The story depicts an alternate universe of B-movie actors, producers, and directors, all struggling for the brass ring as they churn out films in the B movie universe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Stephen Romano, \u201cWe wanted to do a book that was a complete fabrication, but remain completely true to the spirit of these films we love. Basically what you are looking at is a sort of \u2018historical novel\u2019 that uses the period and the art styles of movie posters of the \u201870s and \u201880s to tell a compelling story. It\u2019s an epic tale disguised as a garish, over-the-top work of \u2018psychotronic\u2019 film journalism,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Romano combined his own experience of working in Hollywood with a longstanding passion for the world of B-movies to create the story. \u201cThere\u2019s a rogues\u2019 gallery of whacky characters populating this story, which begins in 1970 and ends in 1987,\u201d Romano explains.\u00a0 \u201cI&rsquo;m also a character in the book\u2014a nerdy journalist who tracks down his heroes and eventually gets to make his own movie at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HC \u2022 FC \u2022 356 pages \u2022 9&Prime; x 12&Prime; \u2022\u00a0 $39.99 \u2022 ISBN: 978-1-60010-322-3<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shock Festival is co-branded by IDW Publishing and Raw Entertainment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Raw Entertainment is the brainchild of artist Tim Bradstreet, who serves as art director\/designer and illustrator on the project, and Hollywood actor\/director Thomas Jane, who appears in the book as the wild and crazy B-movie tough guy Elliot Swann.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">About IDW Publishing<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">IDW is an award-winning publisher of comic books, graphic novels and trade paperbacks, based in San Diego, California.
