AUTOPSYROTICA: A JOURNAL OF SEX + DEATH The best-selling artist of 'Black Rust' returns with a corrosively dark vision of life, death and in-between. Critically acclaimed New Dark artist Chad Michael Ward has spent a decade entertaining fans of fantasy and science fiction with his evocative work. Dark, moody and often violently erotic, Ward's sophomore art collection from NBM Publishing is a stylish look at sex and death. Tripping the rift between the final hereafter and the type of subversive sexuality Ward’s work has come to be known for, AUTOPSYROTICA is a hybrid of words and pictures; part art book, part dark narrative. In the book’s introduction, John Cassaday warns us: "Prepare to roller-coast between pages: "Zombie" may be taken literally and that's fine, but there's also something very much alive and lovingly sad. Silent screen vixen meets her demise. Maybe it was the string orchestrations I was drenched in... But just look at those eyes." AUTOPSYROTICA is scheduled for a March 2006 release. 9x12, 80pp., full color trade pb., $17.95, ISBN 1-56163-462-X With an introduction by John (“Planetary”, “Astonishing X-Men”) Cassaday and afterword by Ben (“30 Days of Night”, “Fell”) Templesmith.
