Asylum Press announced today that Lori Lovcraft, the creator-owned property of Mike Vosburg, has returned in a new digital mini-series Lori Lovecraft: Into the Past. Vosburg, whose comic career is in it's fifth decade, has worked for Marvel Comics, DC Comics and Valiant among others over the years but is best know for his seven year run doing 1950s style covers on Tales from the Crypt comics.

Vosburg talked about the origin of the series,

Lori was actually inspired by my experiences working on HBO's Tales From the Crypt. It's a combination of two things I dearly love: drawing beautiful women and old movies. And Pete Ventrella's scripts were magic to work on.

Frank Forte, Publisher of Asylum Press spoke on bringing the series under their logo,

We're excited to have Mike on board at Asylum. Retrowood fits in with our growing list of titles. After Lori Lovecraft: Into the Past #1 we have a number of one shots coming out as well as a Linda Lovecraft (Lori's aunt) series that Mike had hidden in his coffers for years.

Synopsis for the first issue:

Danke Schoen hires private eye R.C. Bowen to find the child she gave up  for adoption years ago. Lori and R.C. follow a trail that has them crossing paths with basketball star Lenny "the Legend" Raven, the Mayor of LA and the devious Amanda, a Hollywood player who heads the insidious Cabal, and Elston Gunn the aging king of Rock 'n; Roll… they are all after the Necronomicon, the fabulous book of spells that Lori has in her possession and they will stop at nothing to get it. This one culminates in a cosmic rock concert with in Voodoo Mansion with all the villains, Horatio and Zelda, and lots of Lori's old boyfriends in attendance. And then there is Lori's wedding at the end… ALSO- A bonus VOODOO MANSION short story.
