THE FREEZE WILL STRIKE THIS DECEMBER
21 Sep 2018 |
Writer Dan Wickline (30 Days of Night, SHADOWHAWK) and artist Phillip Sevy (Tomb Raider, THE TITHE) team up for THE FREEZE, an all-new science fiction series coming this December from Image/Top Cow.
The entire human population is frozen by a mysterious global event…all except Ray, and only he has the power to unfreeze them. Now—with the fate of the world in his hands—he must figure out what is going on, how to set things right again, and answer the question: does everyone deserve to be saved?
“THE FREEZE is a post-apocalyptic survival story where the biggest danger is man’s true nature,” said Wickline. “We strip the world down to one decent person and then give him the power to rebuild society from scratch, not knowing if those he awakens will benefit the new world or indulge their darkest inclinations. It’s an intriguing concept to explore as a writer, and Phillip is just hitting it out of the park with his art.”
“Great sci-fi is about taking a cool concept and using it as a vehicle to examine the choices,
attitudes, thoughts, and prejudices we, as people, have,” added Sevy. “The premise and its execution in THE FREEZE is what drew me to the project and keeps me fueled as I work on it. I can’t wait for people to read it—Dan’s written a great book!”
THE FREEZE #1 (Diamond code: OCT180028) hits stores on Wednesday, December 5th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, November 12th.
Advance praise for THE FREEZE:
“Wow! It so rare to find someone who can do the end of the world in a way we have not seen. But Dan Wickline and Phillip Sevy have pulled it off with their wicked apocalyptic game of freeze tag that has me wanting more…a lot more! Wickline’s usual sense of character is on full display while Sevy’s art is crisp and cinematic and serves the conflict beautifully. This is fantastic, intriguing stuff!”
—Adam Marcus (director of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday)
“It’s a great concept. I smell a movie adaptation.” —Dan Brereton (NOCTURNALS)
“THE FREEZE is kind of like… what if Left Behind was good, and less religious? A fantastically fresh concept that begs to be explored, expertly rendered with art that’s surprisingly vibrant and dynamic for a book about people that literally can’t move.”
—Ryan Cady (INFINITE DARK) |

A NEW FOGG ROLLS IN
01 Jul 2010 |
Read the new Lucius Fogg Mystery as it is being created for free!
At Comicon International 2009, writer Dan Wickline debuted his exclusive novella, Three Little Ladies All in the Morgue: a Lucius Fogg Mystery. The tale introduced the world to the enigmatic detective Lucius Fogg and his assistant Jimmy Doyle. The limited edition print run sold out quickly and readers have been clamoring for more. Wickline has begun work on a full-length novel but didn't want readers to have to wait any longer... So he will simultaneously be writing a new novella of the character exclusively on Twitter.
Starting July 1st and running until its completion, The Werewolves of Paddington Court: a Lucius Fogg Mystery will be written live at http://www.Twitter.com/LuciusFogg. This is not a previously created tale being re-published. Each entry of the story will be posted as it is written and will conform to the 140 character limitation inherent to a Twitter site. Fans of Wickline's comic or prose writing will get new material as it is being created and gain a unique look into the creative process as it happens.
The Lucius Fogg Mysteries are set in the 1950s and detail the cases of detective/occultist Lucius Fogg as he assists his clients with the strange and supernatural that runs rampant through the streets of New York City. The stories are narrated by Fogg's assistant, WWII vet Jimmy Doyle. In The Werewolves of Paddington Court there has been a rash of savagely brutalized corpses found that has local police believing a vicious animal is loose in the city... And Fogg's latest client happens to be a werewolf.
Follow the new story as it is created at http://www.Twitter.com/LuciusFogg
Dan Wickline has written for the 30 Days of Night franchise as well as Grimm Fairy Tales and Wonderland. He is currently scripting 1001 Arabian Night: The Adventures of Sinbad and ShadowHawk: Resurrection. Besides Lucius Fogg, Wickline has written short prose fiction for such classic pulp characters as The Phantom, The Avenger and The Green Hornet.

YOU CAN'T KEEP A DEAD MAN DOWN
08 Mar 2010 |
Paul Johnstone returns to the helmet in SHADOWHAWK #1!
Berkeley, CA - 8 March 2010 - Paul Johnstone may have died, but not only is he better now, he's resumed the mantle of ShadowHawk in SHADOWHAWK, an all-new series arising from the pages of IMAGE UNITED written by DAN WICKLINE with art by TONE RODRIGUEZ.
"The return of the original SHADOWHAWK, Paul Johnstone, is electrifying. Dan and Tone have RESURRECTED the character of SHADOWHAWK, both literally and figuratively in a manner that, to the best of my knowledge, has never been done before," says Shadowline Publisher Jim Valentino. "Paul Johnstone is back to kick butt and take names."
SHADOWHAWK takes place 15 years after Paul Johnstone's stunning death and though he wears the ShadowHawk helmet once more, New York is a far more dangerous place than he remembers. A new evil festers in the city's shadows, but before Johnstone can deal with the ramifications of returning to life, he must first confront his past.
SHADOWHAWK #1 (MAR100390), a 32-page full color comic book for $3.50, will be in stores May 5, 2010.

16 Jul 2009 |
Comic creator Dan Wickline (1001 Arabian Nights: The Adventures of Sinbad, 30 Days of Night: Spreading the Disease) shifts gears to produce Three Little Ladies All In the Morgue: A Lucius Fogg Mystery. Occult specialist Fogg and his leg man Jimmy Doyle are called in by the police when three unrelated women are murdered in exactly the same fashion by three different killers. Is there a connection between the crimes and can Fogg find it in time to prevent more deaths? This short story crosses the dark corners of the horror genre with the style of a period piece murder mystery.
The book will be available at the Comic-Con International at booth #5335 but in a very low quantity. Only 50 copies of the book have been printed, each will be numbered and signed by the author. Only 10 of the books will be made available each day to spread the release over the length of the show. The first 10 will be available at the start of Preview Night. Then each day after another 10 will be made available at noon. The book is fifty pages long, has a cover with art by Brent Peeples and will be selling for $10.00.
