Elsinore (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elsinore is an American comic book published by Devil's Due Productions. It is written by Ken Lillie-Paetz

Elsinore tells the tale of Murchison, a disgraced doctor who was recruited by the titular asylum in order to help prevent the apocalypse. The series is slated to run for six issues and eventually be collected into a trade paperback.

[edit] History

The comic was originally published by Alias Comics, but moved to their current publisher as of issue 4, a part of “Devil's Due Presents….” While at Alias, the book was pencilled by Brian Denham. Denham also submitted a few pages to issue 4 (amid an array of guest artists), as well as covers to issues 4 and 5. The sixth and final oversized issue is being completed for the foreign market and will be available for download in North America until a trade paperback is printed.

In the first two issues, two pages were printed incorrectly, leaving the lettering out entirely. In issue 1, this didn't affect the plot. But did affect giving some insight to the main character of Dr. Murchison (who was not introduced until page 17 of issue 1). In #2, however, a key plot point was missing in the dialogue. To make up for this, and to encourage new readers to pick up the book after its transition to Devil's Due, the publisher made the first three issues available for free online. Online editions of Elsinore 1-5 are available at www.pullboxonline.com and at www.wowio.com

The electronic-industrial band Weave composed a companion soundtrack for Elsinore called Cell 29A. Additionally, Weave's video for their song “While i Bern Their Bodies Kleen” features characters from Elsinore.
