Graham Humphreys’ Cover Art Revealed for Hardcover Video Nasty Comic Collection
Reaper Comics will release a hardcover collected edition of its universally praised horror comic series Video Nasty on October 15th, and the collection’s artwork, by acclaimed artist Graham Humphreys, has been revealed.
The title that debuted in March of this year to praise from news and review sites, horror movie creators, and media academics will be collected into a premium edition hardcover as well as a VHS boxset with cover art by horror industry icon Graham Humphreys.
Video Nasty, written by Mario Covone with interior art by Vasilis Logios, explores the real world politics behind government censorship and media manipulation in 1980’s Britain whilst still maintaining the core of being a fictional horror story.
Humphreys, responsible for producing the art for many classic horror movie posters and VHS/DVD/Blu-ray covers, made his comic book debut with Video Nasty. He painted all six original covers for the series and now unveils the seventh piece of art that will grace the covers of the collected editions.
The aforementioned VHS boxset will contain a smaller videotape-sized paperback and several collectable postcards, stickers, and a bookmark, all packaged in a VHS clamshell box and limited to only 100 pieces.
Pre-orders for the hardcover and VHS boxset are now available through MarioCovone.com. The hardcover will also be available in Forbidden Planet as well as in comic stores though Diamond Comic Distribution. All six issues are still available at Comixology for digital download.

The race is on to solve the case before the death toll rises whilst still dealing with the burden of connecting these heinous crimes to video nasties.
