PRESS RELEASE
INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISE DARKCHYLDE, JASON HENDERSON AND APE ENTERTAINMENT TO HEADLINE INTERNATIONAL DEBUT
International Enterprise announces its "Big Three" on promotional launch
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contacts: tim.hegarty@gmail.com, www.InternationalEnterprise.org
MAY 16, 2005 - The exclusive services and potential profits of foreign
licensing through International Enterprise have attracted some of comic's most
talented names, as the new company announced today the critically-acclaimed Darkchylde
series, Jason Henderson's Sword of Dracula mini-series,
and Ape Entertainment's A Different Pace TPB
as the inaugural properties of their full promotional launch, and the first titles
International Enterprise will begin promoting to foreign publishers all over the
world.
"We're thrilled to be a participant in the launch of International
Enterprise, and their commitment to bring American comics to new audiences," says
Darkchylde creator Randy Queen. "Darkchylde
has enjoyed great success in foreign markets, even outselling
X-Men and Spider-man in Europe, but there are still
untapped territories, and books the European markets have yet to see. International
Enterprise will help us in our endeavor to get as many eyes on Darkchylde
as possible."
"We are very proud to welcome these
first three titles to the Enterprise banner,
because they're all good books that could translate to fans worldwide," comments
International Rights Manager, Tim Hegarty. "The best part about doing this is
that you get to work with books and creators you really like. I am a fan of all
three of these series, and think our promotions and marketing of them will make
fans of foreign publishers and their respective audiences, as well."
Originally published by Image Comics and Wildstorm in the late-90's, Darkchylde
has remained one of the most impressive and successful horror
stories in comics. Queen writes and illustrates this series featuring the stunning
Ariel Chylde, a cursed southern teen who discovers she can become the creatures
from her many nightmares and then must save her small town from the forces of
darkness she's set free. International Enterprise now represents the rights to
Volume One, The Legacy, Redemption and the Dreams of the Darkchylde
properties, as well as the Summer Swimsuit Spectacular one-shot.
Another former Image title, Jason Henderson's Sword
of Dracula is a contemporary revamp of
the Dracula legend critics have called "the most unique take on Dracula in over
a century." Dracula is portrayed as the world's foremost terrorist, a king on
the run with a vampire army and an array of new powers - such as the ability to
control and manipulate blood into massive weapons and fortresses. Greg Scott and
Terry Pallot provide gritty black-and-white artwork to this action-packed sci-fi
adventure. Recently optioned to become a major motion picture, all six issues
of Sword of Dracula are now
available to foreign publishers through International Enterprise!
Star Wars meets Tomb Raider in Ape Entertainment's
A Different Pace black-and-white
trade paperback, also represented by International Enterprise. Four, beautifully
illustrated, self-contained tales introduce us to the sci-fi world of the lovely
Lily and her rag-tag crew of space pirates who scour the galaxy in search of ancient
treasure and grand adventure - and find plenty of trouble. Written by David Hedgeock
and illustrated by Liew, Ramirez and Flippo, this charming collection features
a cover by Leanne Buckley.
"These books are some of the best horror,
sci-fi and fantasy books out there - and these are just the beginning," announces
Hegarty. "And I can't think of a better way to start."
With over three
years of experience in foreign licensing and contacts all over the world, International
Enterprise promises frequent announcements of additions to their roster of properties,
promoted through exclusive features, sample pages, and interactive materials on
their website, www.InternationalEnterprise.com.
