Can Professor Dario Bava survive the Orgy of the Blood Freaks? Can the undead Gringo Loco just survive? For those lucky enough to have already encountered these characters from Diabolik Films (though they’re comics), you’ve been asking those questions for several months. At last, they’re ready to be answered — provided we Kickstart them into the world.
Appropriately enough, Professor Dario Bava: Orgy of the Blood Freaks #2 and Gringo Loco #2 are one volume. An old-style flip book, these homages to Italian cinema of the 60s play best as a double feature. If you’re new to the world of Professor Dario Bava, Diabolik has you covered. Through the Kickstarter, you can still get the first volume, or go even deeper with the graphic novel anthology Murder Vibes from the Monster Dimension.
But enough! Let me let Diabolik speak for itself!
