RADICAL'S FVZA #1 SELLS OUT PRIOR TO RELEASE

October 27, 2009, Los Angeles - Radical Publishing is proud to announce that
the first printing of FVZA: Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency #1, from
writer David Hine (Spider-Man: Noir, Battle for the Cowl: Arkham Asylum) and
illustrator Roy Allan Martinez (Son of M), has sold out at the distributor
level prior to its release in the direct market.

Shipping with two covers, one by John Bolton and the other by Clint Langley,
fans looking forward to purchase FVZA: Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency #1
are encouraged to contact their local comic store and reserve their copy
prior to release. Visit <http://www.comicshoplocator.com>
www.comicshoplocator.com to find a store near you. FVZA is the most recent
Radical title to implement the initiative of "Bigger Books! Bigger Value!"
with 64 pages for a $4.99 price point. Radical is still reviewing whether to
offer a second printing based on incoming reorders.

Based on the popular website <http://www.FVZA.org> FVZA.org, created by
Richard S. Dargan, FVZA: Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency chronicles a
world where a deadly disease, representing a new threat of global terrorism,
transforms innocent victims into Zombies and a long dormant government task
force is called into action: The Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency.
Throughout history, from the Civil War to World War II, the FVZA protected
humanity from the blood-sucking and flesh-eating hordes -- until a cure was
discovered that sent the undead to their graves. When a new incurable strain
of the virus ravages a small town in America, Agent Landra Pecos must call
upon her lethal skills to eradicate the threat. But as Landra delves deeper
into her investigation of the undead menace, she uncovers shocking secrets
that will forever change her family, her world and her life.

"We're thrilled at the response to FVZA and the continued support of the
fans and retailers," said Radical President and Publisher Barry Levine.
"David's work is absolutely top-notch and we couldn't be happier with the
story he has crafted. With FVZA, we continue to bring the level of quality
that fans find synonymous with the Radical brand."

Fans who may be unable to find a copy at their local comic store will also
have a chance to win a free copy of FVZA: Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency
#1 by entering the "Are You Infected?" contest sponsored by Radical and
EerieTube.com. Three winners will take home a copy of the sold-out issue
along with other amazing prizes by submitting a photo of themselves as the
infected undead by October 31st. More details can be found at
