Bad Dreams a somewhat twisted tale of whimsy -- chronicles the adventures of an odd group of Dreamworld characters: Mary, Nimrod, Sir Spanks (a Night Mouse Knight), Spide, and Shroom. Mary wakes to discover both her memory and Night have gone missing from the land. Mother Night's absence is causing havoc as everyone slowly goes insane from lack of sleep. The friends must pool their resources, working together to uncover the strange secret of their past and exactly who's behind it all.

BAD DREAMS is a five-part fantasy adventure by Gary Winnick, a comic book writer, illustrator, and game designer best known for co-designing Lucasfilm Games' Maniac Mansion. The lavishly illustrated tale will capture the imagination of all comic readers, in the tradition of Red 5's ATOMIC ROBO and BODIE TROLL.

"BAD DREAMS truly resonates from my creative core," said Winnick, "that's why I've spent all these nights and weekends on it. I think it's my best work. I hope the audience agrees." "During my time at Lucasfilm and LucasArts in the 2000s, Maniac Mansion was considered one of those legendary titles that we were inspired by and aspired to," said Red 5 Comics co-founder, Paul Ens. "When I heard that Gary was completing his graphic novel passion project, I knew it would be a perfect fit for Red 5 -- imaginative, clever and fun."

As Red 5 is an independent publisher, the best way to ensure your copy of “Bad Dreams” this spring is to pre-order it before February 28 from your comic shop using order code FEB141419. “Bad Dreams #1” of the five-issue series is set for release on April 23, 2014.
