Thought I’d go a different route this week. Need a bit of time to work on a couple of certain ongoing projects that are taking up all my time recently, so I thought I’d post a short story a did a little while back. I’ll post the first two pages this week, then the third and forth over the next couple of weeks. These pages will be fully lettered, and I think this is the first time I’ve ever posted an unedited comic-strip on this blog. Also, I’m a horror comic-book artist, but I tend to stay away from the classic monsters. You get zombies, werewolves and even some creatures from the black lagoon in this strip. Hopefully any horror buffs reading this will get a kick out of that.
I kind of liked the idea of the Monster Hit Squad. They are just a one off gag, but after doing this short story, I thought they could maybe make a fun idea for a comic one day. Like UNIT, but for the horror genre. There’s always a zombie outbreak somewhere in the world these days, right? That said, I’ve got no plans for doing anymore strips about these guys. Maybe if another comic-book artist took over on art duties, and I just wrote them or something. But truthfully, I think this may be their one and only sequential mission. At least they get to be kings of this blog for three weeks.
Hmmm, would society judge me harshly if I got this tattooed on my shoulder muscle? Why is there not a UNIT videogame or comic-book series? So many cool alien invaders to battle. I guess maybe Torchwood stole their thunder in new Who.
