Basically, I'm an EC comic book guy, man. You can show me anything that's high-spirited horror, and I'll be there giggling.
I've got a stack of the 'Walking Dead' comic books next to my bed here.
Mike Mignola's 'Hellboy' comics have a drizzly, musty gothic ambience - the same fetid air that H. P. Lovecraft circulated in his fiction.
I grew up on the old EC comic books before the Comics Code in North American and with all sort of good-natured fun. I never had nightmares I think because all of the old horror stuff that I was exposed to was well meaning in a certain sense.
I really want to do a 'True Blood-Six Feet Under' comic book crossover.
Well, don't tell Steve Niles but I just don't think horror works in comics.
Growing up devouring horror comics and novels, and being inspired to become a writer because of horror novels, movies, and comic books, I always knew I was going to write a horror novel.
I love the entire 'Constantine' mythology, the 'Dead Man' mythology, the Alex Holland 'Swamp Thing' mythology.
I love 'Afterlife with Archie.'
When I was a kid, there were these great comic books called 'Tales From The Crypt' and 'The Vault of Horror.' They were gruesome. I discovered them in the barbershop and thought they were fabulous.
'Animal Man' and 'Swamp Thing' have so many commonalities in tone and mood.
If you were a kid in the 1950s, and you got nightmares from a story in a horror comic book, you have Al Feldstein to blame. If you were a kid in the '60s or '70s, giggling at 'MAD's prankster wit, you have Feldstein to thank.
I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it.
I collected the 'Walking Dead' comics.
I've really enjoyed B.R.P.D. since its first days when Guy Davis was an artist on the title, and if anyone is looking for an end of the world Cthulhu apocalypse title, Mignola and Arcudi and the artists who work the title do a fantastic job.
Back when I was growing up, getting caught with a copy of 'Creepy,' 'Eerie' or 'Vampirella' was almost as bad as your parents finding out you were reading 'Playboy.'
I was a big 'MAD Magazine' fan when I was a kid, and I read a lot of horror comics - I illustrated as well.
