Then panel one of page seven comes along, depicting the trusty hound ferociously battle-crying "YII-IIIPE!" Fantastic!<br /><br />I loved the art on this one. There was a kind of rumpled, everyday, square-chinned Johnny Craig vibe to it, especially in the mirrored panels (page two, panel four and page five, panel five) in which Gabe reacts to seeing his mom. That splash is pretty fabulous, too--I like the groovy roots here and on the bottom of page three. I really dig the merry interior details, like Gabe's patchwork quilt and the panel where he and the dog are both scratching themselves before bedding down.<br /><br />I know we've all already bitched about the printing, but I wanted to ask: Did they just forget the blue pass for this whole book? Or is blue just the first thing to totally fade away? Sure makes the comic look old.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-51301715045208831412014-02-01T16:28:38.883-06:002014-02-01T16:28:38.883-06:00very cool!very cool!Frank Fortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082784505546226048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-66287604090793086992014-02-01T13:56:36.494-06:002014-02-01T13:56:36.494-06:00Oedipus meets Bocephus.

There's a couple of scenes where you could add in more blood and such, but generally, I remember they picked the more violent stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340526426993960520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-84618908388782246802014-01-31T16:30:43.520-06:002014-01-31T16:30:43.520-06:00I'm a real sucker for these rotten, swamp reve...I'm a real sucker for these rotten, swamp revenge stories so this was GREAT!!! I kinda wish the mother was a little more decomposed ala Ghastly style but that's minor, really enjoyed this one.

Or did I see this story posted elsewhere, or even more likely, all the swamp stories have started to run together!<br /><br />There certainly is a creep factor to it, but it's well within the time honored hillbillies are inbreed greedy dirty dog-kickers that comics of the time did. It's pretty ugly, because, honestly, only 60% of those are true! KIDDING!<br /><br />At least we now none on things: What's worse than being kissed by the "decaying lips" of a zombie?
