THE SHOWDOWN TRAILER
the showdown
Most are unaware that monsters such as Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies once roamed the face of the earth but were banished to hell for their unspeakable acts on humanity. Now in the depths of Dante’s vision of hell, Satan holds a race once a millennium, a race unknown to man called The Showdown. Frankenstein greasers, Stitch and Merc, members of a car club called The Fivehundreds, are challenged by other hot-rodding ghouls from all walks of existence – The Hell Howlers, rockabilly werewolves with muscle cars, or The Bone Crusaders, a skeleton crew of motorcycle bandits – in this deathmatch exhibition of fantastic horror and campy grindhouse.

Who will win this fuel burning, hotrod race and get a chance to raise hell on earth once again?


​REVIEWS
"It's like twisted metal, leaped into the great horror era of the 50's B cult films with the 70's punk embraced attitude, while topping it off with a nod to the great spaghetti westerns! And Holy cheese on a shmacher, is it awesome! Definitely check this book out if you're a horror fan!"
– Graphic Policy, indy spotlight: Overall 9 out of 10
 
"Lippitt's script is solid... is true to the greaser, hot-rod era and dances like blood red pinstripes across the page! The Showdown could've easily been a midnight flick staring Peter Fonda and directed by Roger Corman!"
– Slack Jaw Punks
 
"Monsters, metal, oil, and fiery asphalt collide as the chosen citizens of Hell race to be among the living once again... engaging, creative and stylistic hell that will have you seeking out this comic from beyond the grave!"
​
– Geeks with Wives: 8 out of 10

"Lippitt’s new graphic novel is some serious next level horror punk amazingness... It's Mad Max craziness will all of my favorite nightmares!"
– James Merendino (Director: SLC Punk)


“A terrifying world full of fast and furious monsters… It’s The Outsiders meets Death Race 2000!”
– Spartantown: 4/5 stars
 
“A dirty, grungy looking book that really captures Dante’s vision of Hell with a added punk aesthetic!”
– The Lost Lighthouse: 8 out of 10
 
“This is nothing like you’ve ever read before and is something you should not pass up… perhaps like no other genre, horror comics come with a high bar and this comic reaches that bar!”
– Comic List: 4.5 out of 5 Geek Goggles
 
“The Showdown is comparable to Romero's Night of the Living Dead and Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre!"
–
Los Angeles Review of Books, William Bradley
 
“A must read for any horror enthusiast! The characters and artwork are amazingly gruesome and fans will be on the edge of their seats in anticipation to see who wins!”
