Here's the full press release for you crazy cats that love all the details: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Troy Benjamin troy@stillplayingwithtoys.com www.stillplayingwithtoys.com DECEMBER ISSUE AND SOLD OUT DEBUT OCTOBER ISSUE OF STILL PLAYING WITH TOYS PRESENTS NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE DIRECT DOWNLOAD Burbank, CA, December 24, 2007 – After an incredible response to the first printing of STILL PLAYING WITH TOYS PRESENTS #1, both the debut issue and the new December issue will be provided free of charge as direct downloads from www.stillplayingwithtoys.com. This unprecedented move makes the label’s flagship title accessible to a wider variety of readers by providing an Adobe Acrobat document of the entire issue cover-to-cover directly downloadable from the publisher’s website. There will be no charge to download the issue. “It’s really an exciting time for all forms of media,” states CEO and Publisher Troy Benjamin. “The music industry has already opened their doors to letting users download full versions of albums for free. Why shouldn’t comics follow suit?” Issues #1 and #2 will be available for download via the Still Playing with Toys website (www.stillplayingwithtoys.com) at midnight December 22, 2007 to tie-in with the holiday season. Issue #3 will be made available in March of 2008 as a similarly free direct download from the company website. Hard copies of issue #1 will continue to be sold through Diamond Comics Distributors. Select retail outlets will receive physical copies of issues #2 through #4. Further information on where to purchase at retail outlets will be made available in January via www.stillplayingwithtoys.com. STILL PLAYING WITH TOYS PRESENTS is an anthology series featuring two very different genre titles that appeal to mass audiences: ANGEL XRC and ONLY IN DREAMS. (continues) In Angel XRC, readers are introduced to the gritty and sexy post-Civil War world of soldier Lieutenant Jacob Axebry, a member of the Xeriv Resistance Control or XRC. After he becomes entangled in a plot far larger than he can imagine, Axebry must join forces with those that he has sworn justice on, namely a cunning and beautiful Resistance leader known only as Jade. Dark, sexy, gritty, and socially relevant, XRC throws the reader into the fire. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Only in Dreams harkens back to the high-concept broad comedies made popular in the early 1980s. Four college students turn their thesis into a profit when they open the world’s first nightmare prevention program. Using homemade technology, the boys are able to tap themselves into the dreams of their patients – entering their dreams to do set things right. It’s Ghostbusters meets The Matrix in this light-hearted comedy. Publisher and writer Troy Benjamin is a Loyola Marymount graduate with a background in film production. Having worked for four years in development for film super-producer Trevor Albert on such films as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Benjamin now focuses his talents and experience into the publication of showcase Still Playing with Toys Presents. Benjamin is also the proprietor of long-running fan favorite website Ghostbusters Headquarters celebrating its tenth year online. Performing double-duty as penciler and inker on the title is upcoming phenom Chris Enterline. “Just wait until you see his characterizations,” says publisher Benjamin. “Chris has a unique and defined style that I’m sure will become immediately recognizable.” Joining him as colorist is Rob Smith, a graduate of Gallaudet University, the acclaimed liberal arts university for deaf and hard of hearing talents. Still Playing with Toys, a publishing company formed in June of 2006 by Troy Benjamin and Drew Drescher, is the exemplification of an independent publishing company. Their goal: to create original material and to provide up and coming creators with an outlet for their imaginations. With strong backgrounds in film/television and business respectively, Benjamin and Drescher aim their debut title was released October 31, 2007. The company is based out of North Hollywood, CA.
