Splatter Comix (2002) comic books 2002-2004

Stories and Art by Dave Cook. Splatter Comix is a twist between the camp of old pre-Code horror books and the edginess of today's splatter movies. Each tale is introduced with sly humor and bad puns by narrator Necro Phil -- a tongue-in-cheek, rock 'n' roll, vampire punk. The first story, "Refuse Garden," concerns a sanitation worker whose partner is murdered by a deranged homeless man. Driven by revenge, our "hero" decides to clean up the streets by removing the human garbage. Permanently. That is, until the garbage decides to fight back. The second story, "Wormy," offers a new twist on the 98-pound weakling. In this case, the weakling -- after having sand kicked in his face -- decides to sell his soul for the body he wants. The problem is, while the weakling gets revenge, his body grows out of control with eye-popping consequences. 32 pages, B&W with Red. Mature Readers. Cover price $2.95.
