Sam Sarkar Signing The Vault at Golden Apple Comics

The Vault is a chilling tale of treasures and impending doom. And there's a man behind that chill in Sam Sarkar, the creator and writer of The Vault. If the book strikes your fancy and want to meet Sarkar in person, you're in luck. Today at Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles from 7 to 9 PM Sarkar will be at the store for a signing of the first issue.

"THE VAULT is kind of a contemporary Pandora’s Box story," explained creator and writer, Sam Sarkar. "Though it appears on the surface to be a pretty straightforward story, it has most of its mythology buried deeply. It gets uncovered both literally and figuratively as the pit gets excavated."

If you're not already aware, The Vault is about a small team of treasure hunters, struggling to excavate a dangerous and legendary treasure pit before a massive storm hits Sable Island, the "Graveyard of the North Atlantic." Equipped with all the latest technology, the scientists believe they are prepared against all of nature's fury, but nothing can prepare them for what they are about to unleash.

Full press release after the jump.
