Thank you!!! to all those who visited our San Diego Comic-Con 2003 booth and bought hundreds of our newly released "Chicken Soup For Satan" comic book, T-shirts, skull bowls and took pictures with our booth girl, Satana. Comic-Con Int'l 2003 was another huge success for FrankenRhine Productions and Asylum Press. In particular, the screening of our pilot SICKCOM, as the lead off film at Spike & Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation, which drew so many fans (over a thousand) that the theater had to be moved! We also wish to thank Kevin Klemm of The Ed Gein Collection who provided us with fresh corpses for our booth including Nosferatu and Smiling Jack (left). Next up, the Shrine Auditorium Comic Book and Sci-Fi convention on Sunday August 24th. Hope to see you there!

HOLLYWOOD AND RHINE
Horror author and comic book writer Robert Steven Rhine ("Selected Readings From Satan's Powder Room," "My Brain Escapes Me") and partner artist Frank Forte ("Vampire Verses" ) have sold their animated pilot SICKCOM to Spike & Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation.
SICKCOM, an animated comedy about a serial killer's home life, was written and directed by R.S. Rhine and animated in flash by Frank Forte at their FrankenRhine Studios. The animated pilot episode, "Meet The Beaters," which skewers the traditional TV situation comedy, will tour with Spike & Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation in July at theaters across the country and on DVD. The infamous Spike & Mike are partially 'responsible' for helping to launch such successful series as: "South Park" and "Beavis and Butthead."
