Really expensive. We’re knee-deep creating the second volume of the Pound, but we sure could use some help getting across the finish line. We certainly are not above begging, so won’t you help us out on our Kickstarter page?

I like werewolves, I like comedy, I like this. It’s funny and is right up my alley with the smut. Thanks Jacob. Keep making funny stuff. Please.

The video is also not safe for work, but totally worth getting fired over.

Limited supply available in stores

[San Diego, CA – September 30, 2011] – Frozen Beach Studios and IDW Publishing proudly announce the distribution-level sell out of the graphic novel THE POUND, created by Stephan Nilson and Charles Pritchett, drawn by Karl Waller.

“The Pound could very well replace one of my most favorite overlooked series of all-times, Simon Oliver and Tony Moore’s The Exterminators,” says Comicvine.

Comicbuzz proclaimed, “It’s (The Pound) a smart idea and one that deserves a wide audience.”
Pre-publication buzz like this is being credited to a high demand in first week reorders.

“I’m thrilled that THE POUND is receiving such wide support from the local comic book stores and the readers,” exclaims Nilson. “Charles and I have been working on the idea for THE POUND for some time and really want to give a new take on the classic and not-so-classic monsters. I hope the readers stick with the series – We have a lot more fun in store.”

THE POUND is a 128-page full-color graphic novel that retails for $19.99. Check your local comic book store for availability. If you didn’t get a copy yet, you better hurry. In the meantime, you can whet your appetite with a free download of the first chapter here, www.frozenbeachstudios.com/pound.

ABOUT THE POUND
What do two unemployed municipal animal control specialists do when their city is infested with monsters? They open a facility, ‘The Pound,’ dedicated to the capture and rehabilitation of monsters looking to coexist with the human race. What they fail to realize is their community service is putting a serious kink in the original four monsters’ plans for all out Armageddon.

Sincere, yet wild and wacky, it’s easily one of the best indie comics currently available.

Speaking of, have you picked up a copy of the now available collected edition at your local comic shop? It’s also available for order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and in Canada at Amazon.ca and ChaptersIndigo.

Here’s an review of the book from Troy Osgood at Kitty’s Pryde (5/5):

The strength of this series is the dialogue and interaction between the characters. With this issue we get to see it on the flip side, away from Scotty and Howie and on the side of the monsters. We start getting more of the backstory into the monsters and how they fit into this world.

I’ve included Karl’s beautiful inks for this one so you can compare to Ron’s amazing colors. Make with the clicking for bigger versions.

I am really enjoying this story. I wasn’t sure what to expect after the last issue, but the story has progressed in the most entertaining fashion possible.
