Topic: Creepy Comix


  
  CREEPY's Mailbag
My point is that one of the drawings I submitted was of an executioner (headsman) with an axe and the fl mask over his head.
Creepy and Eerie were and still are very important to me. They were a great inspiration for a young artist and dreamer.
Todays titles; comix, heavy metal, and their like are able to show more sex, mostly for us Creepy/Eerie generation, but lack that certain something.

 Bags and Boards: Cool and Creepy
Wrapped under a pair of really cool covers (the one pictured is by Jeremy Geddes), Doomed features a quartet of comics stories, with Ryall adapting tales from renowned horror writers Richard Matheson, David J. Schow and Robert Bloch and Wilson adapting his own story.
Ryall and Barretto's "Blood Rape of the Lust Ghouls" is the most successfully creepy, though each story has at least one moment of cool and a varying degree of success.
This debut may not be earth-shattering, but it is funky, cool and creepy.

 Green Book Review: Dead By Sunset   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Sufficiently creepy stuff from the master of true crime; this book is better-plotted than the murder itself.
Rule, author of several crime verite classics, begins her latest on an Oregon highway at rush hour, when a van with a blood-spattered window and an empty child's car seat drifts lazily across the lanes.
Not enough forensic detail for the blood and fiber crowd, but this is a terrific read and a strangely moving tale that ends with redemption.

 TIME.com -- Andrew Arnold: The Year of the Anthology
2004 will be recorded in comix history as the year of great anthologies.
In August Alternative Comics published a follow up to its outstanding 2003 anthology, "Rosetta." Best of all, "McSweeny's #13," arguably the finest comix anthology ever published, set a new standard for the form (see TIME.comix review.) Now, in the last month, two more anthologies have arrived, each with their own special qualities.
Allison Cole, for example, turns in "Joe Blow," a creepy slice of life story about a perv who stalks a pair of roommates.

 TIME.com -- Andrew Arnold: Down a Dark "Alley"
Even more loathed and degraded than his modern ancestor, this geek was a literal freak — a sideshow act — a man willing to growl like an animal and bite the heads off chickens for his daily fifth of cheap booze.
Along with confidence men, carnies and cops, the geek is just one of the grimy characters of William Lindsay Gresham's cult 1946 novel "Nightmare Alley," now turned into a gripping graphic novel by the veteran comix artist known as Spain.
Given that the original book is now out of print (except for its inclusion in a crime novel anthology) and the 1947 movie adaptation starring Tyrone Power has never been put on tape or DVD, this book may also be the only way you get to appreciate a deservedly cult work.

 A Small Victory: when comic strips attack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
As has been pointed out elsewhere, a simpler explanation for why the gag doesn't make any sense on a first read is as follows: It was written by Johnny Hart.
Yeah, he's a religious nut and I agree that those other strips were creepy, but I'm not buying it on this one.
He made a witless semi-joke, which is hardly rare, and somebody came up with a conspiracy theory about it.

He made his debut in comics in the early 1980s, with some stories published in magazines Creepy and Comix Internacional.
In 1989 he left comics to devote himself to painting, but in 1991, when the erotic magazine Kiss Comix was founded, he returned to his passion, which allowed him to counter-balance his work as a professor.
He created the character Lolita, of whom many stories have appeared, in a pleasant, readable style.

 Comic creator: Roger Brand
He drew his first lines as a comic book artist as an assistant for the legendary Wally Wood and Gil Kane from 1964 to 1969.
Then he joined the underground comix family, making cartoons for 'Gothic Blimp Works', the short-lived, all-cartoon supplement of New York's East Village Other newspaper.
Complications associated with alcoholism cut Roger's life short, but his highly accomplished style, in the tradition of the best EC comic art, lives on in scores of publications, including 'Creepy', 'Witzend', 'Tales of the Leather Nun', 'Insect Fear', 'Real Pulp Comics', 'Young Lust' and 'Tales of Sex and Death'.

When you write a satire article, it helps if its actually funny enough to be identified as one.
When they just come across as creepy, or when the subject you are writing about is 'out there' just enough to make your satire seem plausible [like the current Zero-Tolerance crap], trouble is sure to follow.
Editors thought that an article about a 6-year-old's arrest was so absurd that it didn't need to be labeled parody.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Addams Family
That was when ABC aired a sitcom based on Addams's family, now dubbed The Addams Family.
A half-hour story requires certain details that can be glossed over in a one-panel cartoon, so the creepy woman became Morticia; the butler, Lurch; the husband, Gomez, and the children, Pugsley and Wednesday.
Addams, needless to say, is the one who supplied the names.

But these flourished only in a period when most Harvey characters managed to sustain multiple titles.
Sizzlers ended in 1974, Creepy Caves in '75 and Devil Kids in '81.
