ALAN ROBERT
Alan Robert is a popular musician, artist and author based out of New York, best known for being the primary-songwriter/bassist for the hard-rock group, Life of Agony. In recent years, he’s created quite a name for himself in the comics world due to the success of his critically acclaimed, horror comics properties. In 2010, he released Wire Hangers, a unique horror/crime tale in which he wrote and illustrated, followed by the 2011 hit series, Crawl to Me. 44FLOOD’s very own menton3 painted the disturbing, iconic cover art for the series. Alan’s highly anticipated, soon to be released, Killogy series, stars Goodfellas/The Sopranos actor Frank Vincent, legendary punk icon Marky Ramone, and Heroes/Dexter actress Brea Grant as its main characters. Killogy hits comic shops this Halloween through IDW. Crawl to Me is currently being adapted into a feature film with screenwriters T.J. Cimfel and David White penning the screenplay.

This project doesn't seem to have a ceiling on the amount of Awesome it's going to contain. :D Thank you!

Incredible lineup, as I seem to keep saying on FB over and over. Are you familiar with the work of Chris Shy? He would be another great addition. Just a thought. You already have about eight of my all time faves so I don't want to appear greedy. Very excited for you all!
