Thank you so much! See an uncolored 2 page preview of the first issue of The Pound: Ghouls Night Out.

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 unregistered monsters. What they don't realize is their community service is putting a serious kink in the original four monsters' plans for all-out Armageddon!

Critical Praise for The Pound:

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

Kitty's Pryde: "The strength of this series is the dialogue and interaction between the characters. "

Comic Vine: "This book entertains: it’s funny, well-written, well-drawn, and has great pace to it...I’d highly recommend picking this book up."

Suvudu: "If you like horror comics you’re going to love The Pound, a new creator-owned comic from IDW and Frozen Beach Studios."

ComicsBulletin: "The Pound could very well replace one of my most favorite overlooked series of all-time, Simon Oliver and Tony Moore’s The Exterminators."

Major Spoilers: "Bottom Line: Worth It"

Comic Buzz: "It’s (The Pound) a smart idea and one that deserves a wide audience.

CxPulp:"Makes me miss the days when Teen Titans was good."   

The Pound Volume 1: Horror Business was released last year to great reviews and quickly sold out at the distributor level! In it, our heroes help defeat the plans of the "original four" monsters (of the Vampire, Mummy, and Werewolf variety - along with a secret fourth) to take over the world. We couldn't leave well enough alone, therefore:

The Pound Volume 2: Ghouls Night Out is a comic series and eventual collected graphic novel which will comprise the next 4 issues of the story of our boys from Cleveland and their mission to rid the world of all manner of monsters (along with helping a few along the way). Like the first volume the second contains over 100 pages of story and a few extras.

We don't want to give too much away but this time our boys-in-tan have a little help in US Government's BIGGEST government agent, Bigfoot John "Proof" Prufrock and his loyal partner Ginger Brown (find out more about them here!). Alex Grecian and Riley Rossmo have kindly loaned Proof and the rest of his team to us, and you can be sure they make quite an impact on the boys and the city.

We've already said too much.

So, where will your donations help out in this massive undertaking?

That's a great question. As independent creators for the last decade we've struggled with trying to keep our projects going and off the ground. We hope through of the gift of Kickstarter that we can keep the dream alive and continue with our story of Scottie and Howie from Cleveland for another fun-filled adventure.

All of money we gain from this Kickstarter project will go straight into the production of the book. Stephan is a great writer and Charles is a great letterer, but apart from hand turkeys and ninja turtles, we can't draw or color. We've enlisted artist Ibrahim Moustafa and have asked colorist Romulo Fajardo Jr. to help us out and together they will really make this a beautiful book.

About Frozen Beach Studios

Frozen Beach Studios was established in 2008 as the offspring of Across the Pond Studios. It was the dream of Stephan Nilson to expand the studio to produce not only great comics and graphic novels but start working more in multimedia with a focus on television and film. Stephan brought his idea to his close friend and long time collaborator, Charles Pritchett and immediately they started putting together the groundwork to launch the studio in early 2009.

Together the creators have over thirty years experience in writing, print production, and film-making. Their combined skill set results in a perfect balance of talent and experience required to create and produce any project from start to finish.

The name Frozen Beach Studios is a homage to the creators’ home bases in sunny Florida, and the frozen coast of Prince Edward Island, Canada.
