FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zaldiva, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ZLDV), (Xetra/Frankfurt Exchange: UZ8), and a leader in Pop Culture collectibles, comic books, memorabilia and online auctions headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida today announced they have signed a distribution agreement with Heske Horror, an indie comic creator, to sell its award-winning horror anthology BONE CHILLER. This deal continues Zaldiva's philosophy of forming relationships with emerging indie comic creators to provide fresh content to its customers, and build its brand as the leading indie comic store with an eye for recognizing quality titles before they go mainstream.

"This is the first of several distribution agreements we hope to forge with Heske Horror," says Nicole Leigh, Zaldiva's President. "This is a budding comic creator whose titles have already demonstrated an ability to garner awards, critical praise, and even get made into films." R.M. Heske, the principal behind Heske Horror, has several comic titles produced and two screenplays slated for film development. One title in BONE CHILLER, "The Waiting Room," has already been adapted as a short film ("Waiting") which stars Richard Schiff and Izabella Miko. The 2007 short film won an award for Best Cinematography at the Beverly Hills Short Film Festival.

Under the arrangement, Zaldiva customers will have exclusive access to special collector promotions for a limited time, including:

  • A free signed copy of THE NIGHT PROJECTIONIST (issue one), written by Heske and published by Studio 407, included with the first 30 orders; and

  • All copies of BONE CHILLER will be autographed by Heske, with a complimentary "Cold Blooded Chillers" book mark.

BONE CHILLER is a "best of" anthology of Heske Horror's critically acclaimed COLD BLOODED CHILLERS: Tales of Suburban Murder and Malice. Winner of a Bronze medal for "Outstanding Horror" at the 2009 Independent Publisher Book Awards, this 140-page trade paperback features 8 great scares and 2 chilling extras. The Foreword to the book is written by Rod Lott, creator of the literary review site Bookgasm.com, managing editor of Hitch Magazine: The Journal of Pop Culture Absurdity, and contributing writer to the GRAPHICS CLASSICS comic series. Graphic tales were illustrated by outstanding international indie comic artists such as Zeu (Charlatan, Project Elohim), Reno Maniquis (Maskarado, Wall of Angels), and Adam Swiecki (The Reborn Legends).

Jay Katz, owner of InvestComics.com, believes both the BONE CHILLER anthology and NIGHT PROJECTIONIST comic could be "sleeper" collectible investments. "In just one year, Heske Horror has been building fans among critics and collectors, and it has impressive titles in the queue," says Mr. Katz. "THE NIGHT PROJECTIONIST comic was somewhat of a victim of Diamond's increased sales thresholds a year ago, but even though the book went straight to OGN (it will release in Q1 2010), it has been optioned for film by Myriad Pictures and could go up in value if the film gets made and is popular." In fact, a review by none other than Fangoria magazine cited "This could be the next 30 Days of Night!"

Look for more exciting news from Zaldiva and Heske Horror in the coming weeks.
