Pumpkin fans, unite! Helloween and Incendium are teaming up for the
launch of Seekers of the Seven Keys, a supernatural horror-fantasy comic book that explores the
iconic cast of characters depicted on album covers from the legendary German heavy metal
band, known as the “godfathers of melodic speed metal.” Incendium is also thrilled to announce
a line of collectible Helloween action figures inspired by the bands’ cover artwork and lyrical
lore: The Keeper Of The Seven Keys, The Witch, and Jack O. Lantern.
Published under Incendium’s music-focused OPUS imprint, Seekers of the Seven Keys is crafted
by horror masters, writer Joe Harris (Creepy, The X-Files, Rockstars) and artist Axel Medellin
(Hoax Hunters, Elephantman), and features cover artwork by Santi Casas.
In Seekers of the Seven Keys, the mystical Seven Keys have been lost, and the Keeper wants
them back. But he’s not the only one looking. And when teenage siblings stumble upon the
quest, they embark on a 1980s-style science-fiction, fantasy adventure filled with the horror
tropes, campy characters, and throwback humor for which the band is known.
Helloween guitarist Michael Weikath said, “Obviously, Dr. Stein is not the only one who can
come up with funny creatures. We are thrilled to see the characters from the Helloween universe
finally come to life! The team of Incendium did a great job and created an exciting new comic
adventure. As we say in Dr. Stein: And their time is right!
The debut of the comic book comes in the wake of the recent release of Helloween’s self-titled
album, which has climbed to the top of the charts across the world. The album is reminiscent of
all eras of the band’s history, and unites their three vocalists Michael Kiske, Andi Deris and Kai
Hansen. The band’s sixteenth studio album was released in June by Nuclear Blast Tonträger Produktions- und Vertriebs GmbH.
The first print edition of Seekers of the Seven Keys will be released as a prestige-format limited
edition collectible comic book, featuring cardstock covers, specialty foil treatments, glossy
pages, and individual numbering.
The first printing of the comic will be limited to 2,000 copies at $19.95, and is available to order
from https://incendium.online/collections/Helloween. It is available to order now and ships by
October 31, 2021. The Keeper Of The Seven Keys, The Witch, and Jack O. Lantern action
figures are also available to pre-order for $29.95, shipping spring 2022.
