"OZPLOITATION"

March 2014

A 'Mature Readers' title, definitely not for the squeamish, from some of the best creators in Australia. Classic exploitation and Ozploitation comes to life in DECAY, in the classic tradition of cult exploitation movies from the 70's and 80's. There are five complete short stories of very disturbing subject matter, over the top violence, nudity and plenty of gore. 'The Ties That Bind', the sickest story EVER in the pages of DECAY, is a combination of Frankenstein, The Human Centipede and Boxing Helena. 'The Bashed Man' is just ten pages of a guy getting brutally and savagely beaten. There's two 'Sisters' stories, really cool stuff (including 'The Sisters vs the Nuns of the SS Gestapo). Plus violent bikers come off the screen to massacre a cinema audience. And a personal interview with Greg McLean on Wolf Creek 2. Great stuff.

DECAY #18

September 2014

Thirteen complete stories by two-dozen incredible creators. A seriously amazing anthology of writers, artists, stories, styles, imagery, and a great variety of horror themes. Awesome front cover by Nahum Ziersch. 28-pages in colour, 24 in B&W. Two stories of the sexy Vampire 'Sisters', including "Class of 2014". "Bacchus Marsh - the Werewolves of Melbourne" with an amazing back cover by Chris Wahl.
