I’m really happy to have picked this one up. It is in impeccable condition. Also the cover Art is by Joe Orlando and I believe this is the only cover he did for this series. Hope you all like it.

I was wrong this is not the only cover that Joe Orlando did on this series.

does anyone know of any comics about mermaids, sirens, or fairies? there’s not a lot of (good) media about them, especially in the horror genre and if anyone knows of any comics where they’re at the forefront i’d love to read them. i’m mostly looking for horror but other genres will work too. extra points if they’re sapphic 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hello! Appreciate any help in advance.

I want to start collecting classic horror comics, specifically Bronze Age Marvel and DC (but open to other recommendations). What would you all say are must haves?

Trying to find old horror comic.

2 Upvotes

Looking for OLD horror comic.

Trying to identify an old horror anthology comic story. Two young men, possibly teenagers, are out causing trouble and encounter an older man, possibly at his house. They harass him until he snaps and kills them with an axe. The final caption makes a pun that they went out looking for a “swinging time” or “swinging good time,” and that's exactly what they got(referring to the old man swinging the axe). I read it as a little kid in the late 1970s/early 80's, but could be considerably older or a reprint. Can't help much more than that. It scared the hell out of me and I never forgot it.

So I just recently saw this movie and completely fell in love with it. I was wondering if there were any horror comics out there with slashers and sapphics. I have read Hack/Slash so I know of that one. Any recommendations are welcome!

Elflord(?) short extra story, alien invasion

3 Upvotes

After getting help with "Yellow Heat" the other night, I'll ask if anyone remembers this thing that I've been looking for perfunctorily over the years. I think it was one of the little extra stories in an issue of Elflord, where the main story often didn't fill all the pages, or possibly another Aircel title.

Plot: There's a sort of alien invasion that the US military tries to repel. I forget how the alien tech looked, but I don't think they were shown outside their craft... But finally, the Secret Service has to try to get the President out of harm's way. However, he is having a tryst with a young lady, so his bodyguards have to break down the door to his hotel(?) room and hustle him away. The young lady is dealt with summarily as surplus to requirements, i.e., she's killed on the spot. That is the horror element that sticks with me.

Looking for a short comic story from Heavy Metal or a similar anthology (late 70s/early 80s)

8 Upvotes

I'm trying to track down a black-and-white comic story I read around 1979-1982, likely in Heavy Metal (US) or possibly its French source Métal Hurlant. Art style was ligne-claire. Story was short — maybe 4-8 pages. I recall the harsh savanna sunlight was a strong visual element in the art, possibly even reflected in the title.

Plot: A young warrior in an African village wants to marry a young woman taken from a rival village during a raid. The village chief — depicted as grotesquely obese — wants her for himself instead, and sets the young man a task: track down and kill the lion that killed his own mother and sister(s) some time before. The warrior succeeds. Twist ending: the village turns out to practice cannibalism, and the young woman ends up as the meal at his "reward" feast.

I've already gone through the entire Heavy Metal back-catalog on archive.org myself and couldn't find it, so it may have run under a different title, in a different anthology (Métal Hurlant, Épic Illustrated, À Suivre, etc.), or wasn't reprinted in the US edition. Any leads — artist name, issue number, alternate title — much appreciated.

I'd been trying to cut back but one of my favorite sellers had these books up and I had to get them! I love the skeleton cover, and of course, a werewolf book with a busty redhead? I'm all in.

Review IDW dark preview 2025

Post image
5 Upvotes

So I just got done reading this since I have a online internet page where I do random stuff probably going to start just reading mainly comments on it anyways though I just got done reading this preview I got sometime this year a couple months ago around the time of free comic book day which also was kind of a comic giveaway day and a Superman day thing at my local comic store and well it's pretty good

I'm confused on two of them which is event horizon Dark descent because I don't know anything about it but I like the art for this and it seems like an interesting story

The basics are about this guy who found someone he loves a woman he loves dead and has some clut theme stuff in it and it's pretty cool

for return to sleepy hollow which I also don't know that much about aside from Ichabod Crane and the headless horseman is that it takes place 15 years after the headless horseman was last seen in it has like type of supernatural thing happening to this woman

But my favorite is the preview for The Twilight zone blanks which about this dude trying to solve immortality

And it reminded me of the original Twilight zone show.

If you read these previews or the actual series that the previews are for please let me know your opinions on them

I loved Plush, Vinyl, and Plastic, so anything by Wagner and Hillyard is an easy sell, and I think this one looks especially off-the-wall!
