IDW Publishing is announcing the forthcoming publication of The Claws Come Out, a new horror anthology by acclaimed indie cartoonist Pat Lewis. The book will be “a diverse collection of comical monster stories: an apathetic scientist works late defrosting the Abominable Snowman; a naïve blood donor dates a rageaholic vampire; a two-bit fortuneteller inadvertently sparks a zombie epidemic. Martians, werewolves, serial killers and B-movie monsters square off against a variety of tough women in this slam-bang collection. And it’s all played for laughs.”
Creator Pat Lewis has been nominated for the Ignatz Award for Outstanding Minicomic, and several Howard E. Day Prizes for Thankless Job, Obsessive Crush, One Horse Town, and Abominable.
The Claws Come Out will be released in November 2007 in a deluxe hardcover format and will contain 152 black and white pages. It will retail for $19.99.
