Holidays

Now complete! READ IT!

Quite a few holiday-themed strips are up at Johnson's EXTRA-LIFE webcomic.

BY JEN VAUGHN - Opening up my mail the other day I was assaulted by religious propaganda from Jack Chick for the most fabulous of holidays, HALLOWEEN. My pack included TWO holiday-appropriate comics that I will not share with you but be certain they took all the fun out of pranks, scary stories and trick-or-treating in their clumsy attempt to remind you that 'Halloween was created by the devil.'

In the real life terror dept. we have FREELANCE BLUES created and written by Ian Daffern and Mike Leone and drawn by Vicki Tierney. Here's a cover by Mike del Mundo.

A new line of kids graphic novels has launched today for iPhone and iPad from Hound Comics, including MY FAVORITE GIANT, about being Chewbacca and being tall by Peter and Angie Mayhew with art by Terry Naughton. There seems to be something terrifying about this so it fits in with the spirit of the season.

Dirk Manning sent us the covers of all three NIGHTMARE WORLD collections, by Kristen Perry. The third and final volume just came out.

This is a real-life story, and a pretty familiar one to inhabitants of hip urban areas. But it is still SCARY AS %$^*!!!!

Kevin sent along his version of Jack the Ripper, above and an illo of the story The Pink from a collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales.

We're not quite sure what this is. But if you see it, run the other way. Click for the NSFW version.

OTOH, the latest from the queen of Halloween might just be the best costume evah.

Is this the most terrifying thing you will see all Halloween? Probably.
