Jazan Wild writing debut has become a international hit!!! The carnival of souls is a twisting journey into the jungle of the mind! Stefan Petrucha (Kolchak, X-Files) supplies the script for the comic book series – with art from Kevin Conrad (Spawn, Kiss' Psycho Circus, Hulk) and colors from Dan Kemp (Spawn, Kiss' Psycho Circus, Spiderman). A trade paper back is being planned for a June 2006 – which will contain a CD with rare bonus tracks written, performed and produced by Wild.
Carnival Of Souls has been best described as Twin Peaks and Lost meets Stray Bullets. According to creator, Jazan Wild, "This Caravan of the damned travels between this world and the next... between reality and dreams ... between heaven and hell! Each issue we take the reader on a journey to discover the life and death of a new member of the carnival."
The series has already gained much interest. A special preview edition was printed for the San Diego Comic Con and Wizard World Chicago. Anyone purchasing this special preview book was also given a free 3 track promo CD.
The comic series is currently available in the latest Previews catalog and is priced at $3.50. Publisher Markosia has been so overwhelmed by the popularity of this book, it has overprinted the first issue to meet further demand.
In addition Jazan Wild will be appearing at Los Angeles’ very own Golden Apple comic book shop on the 28th October – for a Halloween promotion not to be missed!!! Get copies of the first issue signed by Jazan and pick up a copy of Jazan’s CD!!!

ADVANCE QUOTES -
"Kevin's artistic prowess is evident here as he flexes his penciling muscles for the first time in this full throttle comic. His storytelling is spot on, his visuals are eye-searing and characters are alive. One look and you'll want to keep looking for more of Carnival of Souls
--Tony Daniel, (Teen Titans, The Tenth)
"Kevin Conrad has long been one of the greatest inkers in the game, and I think we all knew he was really much more than that. He's got such a solid sense of storytelling structure, he's really one of the best pencilers in the game as well, and it's wonderful to see his full talents shine
through."
--Jim McLauchlin, editor-in-chief, Top Cow Productions.
