Boneyard reaches 25th issue

Press Release

A favorite since its first issue in the spring of 2001, the quarterly
BONEYARD has only been growing more popular. Last month, BONEYARD
publisher NBM Publishing quickly sold out all copies of BONEYARD #23,
with significant reorders that had to be shorted and allocated. In
2005, the collected volume BONEYARD IN COLOR won a gold medal in
Foreword magazine’s Book of the Year awards.

BONEYARD is about Michael Paris, a nice guy who inherits a graveyard
and finds that it’s the home of bizarre creatures such as the cute
vampire Abbey, the brainy but inept demon Glump, and the evil Mayor
Wormwood. In BONEYARD #25, Michael is trapped in the realm of Faerie.
Abbey must free him, and she asks Glump for help. But, says Moore,
“[Glump’s] scientific endeavors tend to go awry, to say the least. No
telling how many parallel worlds they’ll have to go through before they
find the right one.”

“I’ve always loved horror, sci-fi and fantasy, but my personal
strength is humor,” Moore adds. In future issues, “Look for everything
from body-snatching pod people to ancient mummies, nature run amok, and
giant, rampaging monsters.”
