TOKYOPOP Hits the Mark of the Succubus
This November TOKYOPOP Reminds Readers Love Doesn't Always Suck
Los Angeles, CA (September 12, 2005) - TOKYOPOP, America's number one
graphic novel publisher and the Leader of the Manga Revolution, invites
fans to sink their teeth into a tale of a supernatural love bite, with
the November release of Mark of the Succubus. Previewed in the August
issue of the top teen publication, ELLEgirl, Mark of the Succubus was
created by two hot new stars, Irene Flores and Ashly Raiti, who came to
TOKYOPOP's attention in the company's third Rising Stars of Manga(tm)
competition. This three volume series marks their first full-length
story as professional manga-ka!
Mark of the Succubus is a Gothic, supernatural tale of Maeve, a young
succubus--or spiritual vampire--in training. Sent to the human world to
learn how to interact with her soon-to-be victims, Maeve encounters
serious problems when she falls in love with her target and finds
herself entangled in a massive Demon World conspiracy.
"The visual style that Irene created for the book is tremendous," says
TOKYOPOP series editor Lillian Diaz-Przybyl. "Succubus has great
character designs and a fantastic use of lighting, with many of the
tones done in an almost pop-art style. Complimented by Ash's witty and
complex writing, this is a book that I'm very, very excited about."
The first volume of Mark of the Succubus will be available in the manga
section of bookstores everywhere in November 2005. Fans can preview a
chapter of Mark of the Succubus for free beginning in November at
