Description I was pretty happy with the HALLOWEEN DEAD piece I just put up and had to work it into a fake comic cover. I'm starting to accumulate a bunch of these comic covers, I might need to put out an artbook of them.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

REALLY GREAT!!!
one thing though, the title says:
"What evil lurks in [the] THE TOMB OF HALLOWEEN"
other than that, probably one of my favorite pictures ever

Let's have a party
There's a full mo0n in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf
And I don't want to die

I'm so happy
Dancing while the Grim Reaper
Cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can't get me

Terror-iffic!! This looks great, and I'm sure if it existed, I'd own a copy. I love horror comics like Vault of Terror and Tales From the Crypt.

The only flaw with these fake covers, is they make me want to read the stories within. It makes for a strange mixture of joy and torment.

haha. I love the title and all of the little commentary on the cover. Great stuff. The art itself is, of course, excellent as well. I like the hint of halftone.

sideshowmonkey In reply to WonderDookie [2008-11-10 19:59:49 +0000 UTC]

Yea, having just a little bit of halftone really helps it feel like an old comic.

I really like the idea, though the "tomb of holloween" part pops out almost like a sticker. But it's really good idea though, you should defiantly do more.

Alicia-Hannah [2008-10-31 13:53:19 +0000 UTC]

Sweet design! I agree with others who mentioned these fake covers would make an AWESOME artbook. One tiiiiiny nitpick - I'd remove "the" from the line above the title.. since it's already -IN- the title... so that it doesn't read, "What nameless evil lurks in the.. THE TOMB OF HALLOWEEN"


Then again, now that I think about it - going for the retro comic look it almost looks like it was done on purpose. I'll shut up now!
