2013: DECAY #15 was released in March 2013, celebrating the 3 year anniversary of DECAY (issue #1 launched in March 2010). To help celebrate this 3 year anniversary issue #15 was released with three variant covers, each released in equal ratios. This is the first time an issue of DECAY has been released with multiple covers. Each of these covers features the sexy but bloodthirsty trio of Vampires, the "Sisters". This issue was launched to much approval at Oz Comic-Con in Adelaide on the 16th & 17th of March.
Issue #16 of DECAY was then released at Oz Comic-Con in Melbourne on the 6th & 7th of July, with two tables and big crowds. The beautiful Ginny helped sell the comics both mornings to adoring fans. The 'evil clown' cover (by Alister Lockhart) proved to be very popular.
The Adelaide Zombie Walk was held on the 12th of October and DARK OZ was there taking photos. But instead of running a small article in an upcoming issue of DECAY the Adelaide Zombie Walk is getting it's own magazine: 28 pages in full colour at A5 size. This is being launched at Adelaide Supanova on the 16th & 17th of November.
2014: DECAY #17 will be released at Oz Comic-Con in Perth and Adelaide, on the 29th-30th of March and the 5th-6th of April, 2014, respectively. This is an all 'Ozploitation' issue, full of disturbing tales not for the faint of heart. Every issue of DECAY could really be called Ozploitation but this will be one issue purely dedicated to the theme.
And being launched at the same time is the DARK OZ Retro Sci-Fi special, with a PG rating for all audiences. There are some amazing stories and art in this issue.
DARK OZ and DECAY will also be touring many other conventions around Australia, as listed on the 'upcoming events' page.
The long awaited "SISTERS" one-shot comic is still in the works, with some amazing art by Toby Jackman and variant covers by Chris Wahl, Frantz Kantor and others.
DEAD HEART, the Oz Zombie mini-series, is also progressing slowly.
As each issue of DECAY comes out we've been slowly adding more and more colour. Issue #15 had 28 pages of colour in the 52 page comic. And the quality of art is improving all the time. The bar just keeps getting raised higher and higher.
Other projects are also in the works, such as a continuation from 'The War of the Worlds' in "The Man Who Sold the World". it's H. G. Wells meets Jules Verne. The prologue story "Swastika Dreaming" in issue #15 of DECAY leads in to the "Caged Women vs Zombie Nazis in The Keep" comic, coming in 2014. And more projects in the works too. Check out the 'projects' page to see all of them.
A number of 'custom made' comics have also been made in recent times and more are in the works. These can't be shown here as they are for personal use only, made to celebrate peoples birthdays, anniversaries, or simply their dreams, fantasies and desires. Contact us any time for a quote on your own comic.
