Zub Tales

Ray’s at it again and I couldn’t be happier. Back in 2005 I told you guys about the series he wrote for Vertigo.

Now, with a couple years of making waves writing role-playing material for White Wolf’s Vampire: The Requiem line he’s unleashing his creativity in comics once again with two new books coming down the pipe:

“It’s the freaks who always change the world.”

“We brought down the genome patents and open-sourced the medical profession. That was us. We crashed the plastic surgery business. We paved the way for parasite chic. The body became a new kind of playground and we, celebrating the future, we became the Neumod.”

In the near-future Neumod culture of parasite addicts and hardcore one-upmanship, Dirk Brody has found love. He’ll do anything to prove himself to the woman of his dreams – even if it means blurring the boundaries of his flesh with the radical, illegal Junction True procedure.

Once he starts, he can never go back…

An ugly tale of beautiful people written by Ray Fawkes (MNEMOVORE, SPOOKSHOW) and illustrated by Vince Locke (DEADWORLD, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, & SANDMAN). — 128 pages, a FULL-COLOR graphic novel.

Mark my words: Sooner than you expect Ray will be one of those untouchable hot-shit writers who look like they appeared out of nowhere, but actually made it on pure hard work blood, sweat and tears.
