One of the most distinctive and celebrated composers in film history, Elfman has spent more than four decades creating some of cinema’s most recognizable music. His extraordinary body of work spans virtually every genre, with credits including PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE, MIDNIGHT RUN, MEN IN BLACK, GOOD WILL HUNTING, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, alongside one of the most enduring director-composer collaborations in Hollywood history with filmmaker Tim Burton. Beyond film, Elfman also created the iconic theme for THE SIMPSONS, as well as the themes for DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and WEDNESDAY.

Before becoming one of Hollywood’s most celebrated composers, Elfman was the frontman and principal songwriter of Oingo Boingo, the influential new wave band behind songs including “Dead Man’s Party” and “Weird Science.” His work as a performer has continued alongside his composing career, most famously providing the singing voice of Jack Skellington in THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, as well as performing as Bonejangles in CORPSE BRIDE and supplying the singing voices of the Oompa-Loompas in CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. In recent years, Elfman has also returned to the stage with ambitious live performances of his own music.

Following the announcement that JESSICA JONES star Krysten Ritter had joined the project, Elfman becomes the latest major addition to a growing voice cast that also features celebrated comic book creators and industry icons Brett Bean (D’ORC), Mike Carey (LUCIFER), Shelly Bond (VERTIGO), Tomás Giorello (PLANET DEATH) and Jorge Fornés (BATMAN), alongside many more. And Ritter and Elfman are only the first of the record’s major surprise performers to be revealed, with more superstar voices still under wraps and additional cast announcements coming in the days ahead. Stay tuned.

This October, Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Philip Gelatt (LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS), acclaimed filmmaker David Yarovesky (BRIGHTBURN), visionary artist Adam Pollina (X-FORCE), and superstar colorist Dean White (CONAN THE BARBARIAN) begin a new horror masterpiece in IT DEMANDS SACRIFICE #1!

On a quiet farm, Bronson, the youngest and smallest member of a close-knit family of goats, lives an idyllic life of sun-drenched fields, fresh hay, and sibling rivalries. His greatest concern is proving to his older siblings—and, more importantly, his imposing father—that he is more than just the runt of the herd.

Then, in a single night, everything changes.

A drug-fueled, sex-obsessed satanic hippie murder cult descends on the farm, slaughtering the family who raised and protected the goats before abducting Bronson and his loved ones. Deep in the wilderness, beneath a blood-red moon, hundreds of cult followers gather for an ancient ritual. Their purpose: to sacrifice the goats and summon a ravenous demon from beyond.

Now, the fate of his family rests on the shoulders of the one creature least prepared to save them.

Innocent, outmatched, and absurdly cute, Bronson must summon a courage he never knew he possessed as he confronts knife-wielding cultists, unspeakable horrors, and forces far beyond his understanding in a desperate attempt to rescue his family before they are offered up in blood.

These vinyl record comic book collectibles are available now on a first come, first served basis. Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.
