November 14, 2003 Unadilla, NY — In February, fans of the cult favorite DOGWITCH comic series can look forward to two exciting new products, as Sirius Entertainment proudly releases the DOGWITCH: DIRECT TO VIDEO trade paperback and a one-shot special, DOGWITCH SPECIAL FEATURES: THE SKETCHBOOK. Written and illustrated by the talented Daniel Schaffer, February’s DOGWITCH debuts shed more light on the “kinky, reality-television adventures of a sexy witch named Violet Grimm.”
DOGWITCH: DIRECT TO VIDEO is the first-ever collection of DOGWITCH material, collecting issues #1-6 of the ongoing bi-monthly series. This essential volume introduces Violet Grimm, an arcane sex symbol extraordinaire who explores her chosen art form – filming underground b-movies of erotic horror – with black magic, lipstick, and leather. Her dangerous adventures bring her face-to-face with deranged fans, malevolent dolls, and frisky demons. 
Creator Daniel Schaffer says, “I’m delighted to be putting Violet’s first adventures into trade paperback form. Each individual episode explores a different theme, helping to define the multiple aspects of Violet’s nature. Some episodes are self-contained, some are open-ended, and some are just total mayhem, but they’re all jigsaw pieces that add up to a larger myth. Displaying them together in one book, back to back, will help to illuminate the bigger picture.” The DIRECT TO VIDEO collection also offers a rare opportunity for curious newcomers. “I’ve heard of many readers who missed out on my early issues the first time around,” says Schaffer, “and since some issues sold out so quickly, it’s almost impossible to get hold of these stories.” Also scheduled to debut in February, DOGWITCH SPECIAL FEATURES: THE SKETCHBOOK presents 48 pages of behind-the-scenes footage from Daniel Schaffer’s personal art files. “I wanted to offer something with a bit more bite than a sketchbook,” says Schaffer. “Each DOGWITCH comic coincides with one of Violet’s provocative home videos, so it seemed fitting that the sketchbook should be produced in a ‘Special Features’ format, like you’d find on any DVD.”

“Violet’s sexy, sure. She’s a kinky goth icon with a fondness for leather and rubberwear, okay. She’s hot, whatever. But she’d never stand still long enough for a book of pinups,” says Schaffer. “So, with SPECIAL FEATURES, you get not just pin-ups, but also outtakes, deleted scenes, character and creator commentary, sketches, and plenty of previously unreleased material. This is a sketchbook, a pin-up book, a story book, and also a behind-the-scenes look at both the creation of the DOGWITCH comic and Violet’s own home videos.”
