Death Falcon Zero vs. the Zombie Slug Lords - an Illustrated Novel

REVIEWS

"Some books are born in the author's fevered imagination - not the case here. The psycho-rad tag team of Bitner and Boyd walk the walk.  When they aren't writing about the ring, they're in the ring - bleeding, usually - but in the ring nonetheless.  You meld that level of commitment with the wonderful artwork of Les Freres Fraim and you have something special - demented - but special."

Robert Tinnell, producer of Surf Nazis Must Die, director of Frankenstein and Me, author of Feast of the Seven Fishes

"For those who lament the passing of the great Mexican Masked Wrestler/Monster films, now there's Death Falcon Zero vs. The Zombie Sluglords, the Santo vs. The Vampire Women of Illustrated Masked Wrestler/Monster Novels. Death Falcon Zero is not your padre's Masked Wrestler... he kicks ass and takes names... and hearts! I say this cat Death Falcon Zero is a Ba-a-a-a-d Mother - Shut your mouth! - But I'm talkin' bout Death Falcon Zero - Can you dig it?"
 
Bobb Cotter, author of The Mexican Masked Wrestler and Monster Filmography, The Great Monster Magazines

"Old Troma directors never die, they just…write books!  Troma vet Daniel Boyd and novelist William Bitner have crafted a delightful tale, mixing the nostalgia of the Mexican luchador film and print genre of the 1960s with the horrors of today's U.S. inner-cities. If the Coen Brothers were to write a book, it would be this one!"

Lloyd Kaufman, president - TROMA

"Death Falcon Zero vs. the Zombie Slug Lords"...the very title alone is the summation of everything I love...years and years of a misspent childhood tightly bound between two colorful quirky covers...crack open a decrepit copy and shut up, sit down,lock the doors and hold on for a gut-wrenchin', skin-crawlin', high-octane white-knuckle ride...if you are an erudite ascot-wearing art snob, stop reading...if you love all the things that make America great...pick up a copy NOW!

Dan Madigan, author of Mondo Lucha A Go-Go, screenwriter of See No Evil

When I was a kid in West Virginia, I grew up on a fine diet of professional wrestling on TV.  And the only things I loved more than wrestling, was horror and sci-fi films.  Enter Danny Boyd: one of my first mentors into the world of filmmaking and now, purveyor of the finest illustrated novel marriage in years!   Death Falcon Zero vs. The Zombie Slug Lords is what I've been waiting for, a Reese's Cup combination of chocolate wrestling power and finesse with the peanutty goodness of Zombies!  George Romero would be proud.
