Reviews / Votes
"With its preciseinterplay of real-life fears and supernatural terror, Infidel is as
mesmerizing as it is insightful." -NPR "Like nothing
I've read before... Highly recommended." -Steve Niles, 30 Days
of Night "A spiritual successor
to Jordan Peele's genre-altering masterwork and provides some of the most
harrowing scares that comics has seen in years."
-Vulture "Sinewy and tense,
this outstanding comic from former Vertigo editor Pichetshote and artists
Campbell (James Bond), Jose Villarrubia (King Conan), and
Jeff Powell (Earth One) boldly displays a multifaceted and thoughtful
view of racial and religious issues at the forefront of cultural dialog across
the United States while delivering solid horror that will keep readers awake at
night." -Library Journal "One of the most
compelling and evocative tales with powerful social commentary, gripping
tension, beautiful art and well-paced execution." -Multiversity
Comics "Horror as topical as
it is viscerally distressing? leaves readers both creeped out and more aware of
the presence of everyday monsters." -Publishers Weekly (starred
review)

Pornsak Pichetshote started his career as a Thai-American rising star editor at DC's Vertigo imprint, his books being nominated for dozens of Eisner awards -- from the award-winning Daytripper to critical darling Sweet Tooth. He left Vertigo to become an executive in DC Entertainment's media team, where he started and oversaw DC's TV department. His critical and commercial horor book INFIDEL marked his first major work as a comics writer.
His current work with Image Comics is the Eisner- and Harvey-winning THE GOOD ASIAN, which he's currently adapting for television with James Wan's Atomic Monster.
Harvey Award winning artist José Villarrubia is internationally known for his comics color work and editing. He has also been nominated for the Eisner Award twice and regularly works for all the major American comic publishers (Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Dark Horse Publishing, Image Comics) as a colorist and digital painter.
