Hey,There....
BloodFire Studios is the brain child of Dennis Greenhill and Lee Kohse. It was at the Las Vegas Comic Con in Dec. 96 that they laid the ground work for the stories "Dark Tarot" and "Dragoons". In 1997, both stories were offered to their publisher at the time as mini series' but were told that for various reasons they would not publish either story. After having developed some 5 seperate stories for their former publisher already and not having a single one published, their frustration peaked at the 1997 San Diego Comic Con when the comment was made that for any of their stories to see print they would have to publish it themselves. And so, in the summer of 1998 Lee and Dennis left and BloodFire Studios was born. Its purpose, to expand the medium of comics and to push the creative edge of Indy comics with fresh stories and original art styles. The name BloodFire Studios was inspired by the Type O Negative song "Blood and Fire" from their 1993 "Bloody Kisses" LP.
We would like to meet Writers, Artists, Publishers, and Fans of Indy or any comic books.
Make sure to check us out at our main page or on MySpace as well.

So, enough about us. On to something about us….again. Here is a rundown of several books that we produce in some form or fashion.

First up, we have Matt and his wonderful story titled Intergalactic.
A soldier; a spy; an assassin; a shopaholic, Alyssia Sentropy is the best killing machine money can buy. The future is ugly, slimy, laden in advertising, and filled with scumbags. It's Alyssia's job to deal with the run of the mill space pirates, hover-bike gangs, and interdimensional flesh-eating carnival slugs, but her job just got more interesting. Now she's faced with an ancient and supernatural cult of assassins as dark and powerful as the depths of a supermassive black hole, and they've got a thing for seeing her dead...

Next up, Utopiates by Josh and Kat. In the near future, science is able to distill human personalities into a drug-form. Called Utopiates, these drugs allow users to swap personalities with the “mental imprints” of other people. This is the common thread that links the stories in the Utopiates series. Every user of Utopiates has their own reasons, but all learn the cost of soul swapping is extremely high.

We follow that with Kindergoth! Created by Lee with "Tiny Green Men" being drawn by Jeff Zugale, the first series speaks of an alien race abducting students and the fate of the world hangs in the balance! It's up to a group of gothic kindergartners known as the Dead Bonsai Society to save the day but first they have to find a way to safely cross the street! Thus goes the first 4 issues.

And last but not least, Vampyrates, a story by 5 time Eisner Award Nominee Jeromy Cox. Doctor Kevin Ring is a man of science and reason. He believes in two things, his books and the love he has for his beautiful wife, Anne Marie. Kevin's father, Johnathan Ring, has depleted the family estate hunting mythical creatures and fairy tales. Henry Page, a ship merchant and good friend to the Ring family offers Kevin relief from his creditors. All young Kevin must do is track down and stop a band of pirates that have plagued Page's ships. As if pirates weren't bad enough, Kevin, against his desires, must venture to uncharted waters to find pirates rumored to be demonic blood thirsty vampyres.

Now you know the inside scoop. If you are interested in picking up a copy of the books or anything else we have, just drop by the website store. We have all kinds of goodies for you to peep.



Now it is time to share the love. Make sure that you take a minute to add the rest of the Bloodfire Crew here on ComicSpace!!

1/05/2008- Studio Update : Now, we have come to a point where just lame and blatant self promotion is the rule of thumb.
We have “The DNA Hacker Chronicles” “House at the Edge of Nowhere” and “Diary of Night” available through Previews and the numbers lag.
