GHOULISH GIFTS FOR GROOVY GROWN-UPS

Art by Mike Dubisch, color and collage by Phil Mucci.

To all our new visitors, welcome to the far out world of Professor Dario Bava and Gringo Loco! To all the returning members of our beloved Inner Sanctum, welcome BACK, superstars!

With writer, creator, Phil Mucci at the helm, Diabolik has spent years creating and publishing our own original graphic novel series, with the help of some of the greatest artists in the world! Exclusively available online, we're excited to bring you our books and accessories at bargain prices we usually only offer at local conventions!

Our books are rated NFK - Not For Kids!


Aside from offering our latest and greatest gift ideas, this is your last chance to score some limited edition items before they're gone for good -- including the last of our Emanuele Taglietti print editions (collected worldwide!), custom silkscreen tees, Murder Vibes From The Monster Dimension first editions, and more.

We're offering much more than books! Shop dozens of exclusive add-ons!

WAIT — WHAT?!

DIG IT: Professor Dario Bava, Paranormal Playboy©, was a top Vatican exorcist until he turned on, tuned in, and dropped out to fight monsters and stick it to The Man with Future Chick, a time-traveling super hippie from a heavy tomorrow, along with Major B!tch and her team of badass women, the MidKnights!

"Like Scooby Doo meets Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls! I simply cannot recommend these beautiful books enough." — Kristian Horn, Part-Time Fanboy Podcast

Diabolik Double Feature books 1 and 2: Two covers, two stories, ONE book! Flip for a whole new monster trip!


ON THE FLIPSIDE:  Immune to hanging. Immune to lead poisoning. Sick of it ALL! When bounty hunters come to collect the body of a monstrous stranger hanged for murder, they find more than they bargained for, unleashing a torrent of blood and bullets, propelling the mysterious Gringo Loco on a trail of vengeance and redemption!

"A gut-spewing, bullet-bouncing bloodbath that would make both Sam Peckinpah and Lucio Fulci proud. A loving callback to spaghetti westerns with a healthy dose of modern horror sensibilities."
— Pedro Cabezuelo, Rue Morgue Magazine

“A wild mash-up of Giallo, Hammer Horror, and a pinch of Gerry Anderson. Enlisting top horror artists Mike Dubisch and Vicente Alcázar, the resulting Professor Dario Bava imprint may be the next big thing you need to discover before a studio does. Each page drips with color and imagination, while its sister book Gringo Loco melds spaghetti westerns with Italian zombie films. These books pack so much bang for the buck that if they seem like your cup of tea, you should just boldly go!” — Derek McCaw, Fanboy Planet

WHERE DO I START?

You can basically start anywhere, as each story was written to feel complete on its own. That said, there is a chronological order to the Diabolik Double Feature book limited series, indicated by their numbers 1 and 2 (with 3 coming soon!). The one wild card in the world of Professor Dario Bava is Murder Vibes From The Monster Dimension, our first graphic novel, as it actually acts as a prequel AND a sequel to Orgy of the Blood Freaks.

We still have a few of the main cover (left) by Mike Dubisch, but our Emanuele Taglietti variant (right) is sold out!


Our readers who have been with us since Murder Vibes generally recommend people start there, since it includes the backstories of some of the main characters. But plenty of folks are drawn to the Diabolik Double Features first, and then backtrack to Murder Vibes.

Be warned: if you want a physical copy of Murder Vibes, you'll need to act fast! Less than 20 copies left!

SHIPPING / INTERNATIONAL

USA: All shipping will be calculated when you fill out your survey at the end of the campaign. Our basic fee to ship books and shirts from our inventory to the USA starts at $8, shipping via USPS Media Mail. If your order requires two boxes, your shipping will go up to $15 -- but if you buy in the first 48 hrs, you'll get a discount! (see EARLY BIRD above!) Limited print edition and Occult Action Totems USA shipping $20.

Other specialty items like towel, blankets, and apparel ship directly from the printer to your doorstep. Those prices range from $5 to $15 for USA shipping.

INTERNATIONAL (outside USA): Outrageous tariffs and rate increases have made shipping internationally for small companies like ours cost prohibitive. We hate it.

Our amazing international backers should start with the digital PDF versions of our books, available as bundles or add-ons. If you love them and need physical copies, we'll happily give you a shipping estimate for your location. Just let us know!
