あらすじ
The first volume was nominated for Best Anthology graphic novel by both Shel Dorf Awards and the Ghastly Awards. It was also named as Best Horror Anthology for 2012 by Decapitated Dan's Dark Delights. This second volume continues the quality with 14 ALL NEW tales based on the classic Troma feature film, Chillers that was written and directed by Daniel Boyd. Here Boyd has assembled much of the same talents for this second volume and included some great new additions. Join in as the Babylon Bus picks up the participants who have found themselves in horror and gothic surroundings with only a few to live through the tale to tell it. Emerging from the twilight...from out of the crypt and beyond the darkside comes...CHILLERS. "In the annals of horror there are a handful on names that rise above the genre as true craftsman of cinema. You have George Romero, John Carpenter, and trailing not too far behind, Daniel Boyd." - The Joblo Network A Caliber Comics release.
映画・ドラマ版との違い・考察
本書はダニエル・ボイド監督による映画版の世界を、グラフィックノベル形式でさらなる深淵へと導いた怪奇譚の精華です。宿命を象徴する「バビロン・バス」を軸に、ゴシックの伝統と現代的な虚無が交錯する様は圧巻。各執筆陣が放つ、静謐ながらも血の通った筆致は、恐怖の本質を突く職人芸としての文学的魅力を放っています。 映画特有の荒々しい質感に対し、本作は紙面ならではの「余白」によって読者の想像力を極限まで刺激します。映像のライブ感と、漫画特有の心理的深まりが見事なシナジーを生み、一度足を踏み入れれば逃れられぬ重層的な恐怖の迷宮を構築しています。
