PRESS RELEASE – DIG FREE YOUR CEMETERY BLUES!
The sold out first issue from Image Comics’ Shadowline now available
online!
8 April 2008 (Berkeley, CA) – After two sold out issues, Image
Comics’ Shadowline is now offering CEMETERY BLUES #1 online at no
charge.
“The reception to CEMETERY BLUES has been really stunning,” said
series illustrator and co-creator Thomas Boatwright. “After going
through all of our options, including a much demanded second
printing, we opted to put the issue online to reach the most amount
of people possible.”
CEMETERY BLUES follows Ridley and Falstaff, two bumbling monster
hunters who battle evil forces, drink a few pints and destroy untold
amounts of private property in the process! Fans who enjoy the first
issue can be on the look out this July as the entire mini-series will
be collected in THE UNEARTHED CEMETERY BLUES VOL. 1, which includes
81 pages of rarely and never before seen material, including the
scarce self-published stories.
Image Comics Shadowline President Jim Valentino said, “CEMETERY BLUES
is unique in its ability to combine hilarious gags with truly
horrifying moments. This aspect is why its a perfect fit into the
Shadowline lineup.”
CEMETERY BLUES #1 can be read for free at http://www.imagecomics.com/

black and white tradepaperback for $16.99, will be available July 9th.
