Helloween Teams Up With Incendium For Comic Book Launch
Written by Johnson Stephen on September 14, 2021
Pumpkin fans, unite! Helloween and Incendium are teaming up for the launch of ‘Seekers Of The Seven Keys’, a supernatural horror-fantasy comic book that explores the iconic cast of characters depicted on album covers from the band.
In ‘Seekers Of The Seven Keys’, the mystical Seven Keys have been lost and the Keeper wants them back. But he’s not the only one looking. When teenage siblings stumble upon the quest, they embark on a 1980s-style science-fiction, fantasy adventure filled with the horror tropes, campy characters and throwback humor for which the band is known.
Published under Incendium’s music-focused OPUS imprint, ‘Seekers of the Seven Keys’ is crafted by writer Joe Harris (Creepy, The X-Files, Rockstars) and artist Axel Medellin (Hoax Hunters, Elephantman) and features cover artwork by Santi Casas.
Helloween guitarist Michael Weikath said ”We are thrilled to see the characters from the Helloween universe finally come to life! The team of Incendium did a great job and created an exciting new comic adventure. As we say in Dr. Stein:And their time is right!.”
Llexi Leon, CEO of Incendium added ”Helloween’s offbeat comic, inspired by their epic music, fuses fan-favourite characters with whimsical fantasy and a healthy dose of heavy metal! As they are one of the great innovators in the genre, it’s been a joy to revisit their catalog, particularly the ‘Seven Keys’ saga and lay down the groundwork for an all-new narrative that will appeal to long-time fans of the band and Halloween horror aficionados alike!.”
The first print edition of ‘Seekers Of The Seven Keys’ will be released as a prestige-format limited edition collectible comic book, featuring cardstock covers, specialty foil treatments, glossy pages and individual numbering. It will be limited to 2,000 copies and is available to order via https://incendium.online/collections/Helloween
