Hell comes to Forbidden Planet, Hyena Hell that is! Join us on Wednesday, December 4th from 5-7 PM for the launch party of Hyena Hell’s newest Silver Sprocket published comicDemons: Rise and Grind.Don’t have a copy? Don’t worry! We will have copies in store available for purchase. Hyena’s work has been some of our favorite stuff to hit the zine shelves over the past couple years so you won’t wanna miss out on this one or you’ll have HELL to pay!
More about the creator:Hyena Hell draws comics and embodies the demonic in rural Kentucky. They are a comics mentor with Sequential Artists Workshop, and teach comics at other places occasionally too.
More about the book: The worst part of Hell isn’t the flames… it’s the paperwork. Bug and Grog are pit demons of Hell, and they’ve got it pretty good. Some routine brutality, some quotidian violence, and then they are basically free to do whatever (and whomever) they like. That is, until Grog gets noticed for being frustratingly competent, and ruins the whole thing by being sent to work in Hell’s “upstairs office.” As he tries to navigate a series of byzantine systems and bureaucratic absurdities, Bug tries to navigate the frustration of being left behind. Will Bug learn to accept this new status quo with grace, or do something impulsive and reckless? Spoiler alert: It’s something impulsive and reckless.
This fourth comic in the Demons series by Hyena Hell can be read in sequence or as a standalone!

Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
