The Obeah Man was plenty spooky though, and the lurid molten colors really laid the atmosphere on nice and thickly. I also really liked those awesome Trinidadian hats everybody's wearing.<br /><br />I think <b>SpaceLord</b> misspelled "Wolftober".

"The Mirror of Death!" from this issue set a high bar.<br /><br />The singing performances are as cringe worthy as any of the following horror.<br />I feel for poor Tamiko, a misunderstood boy who was possessed by a Martha Stewart type devil. We see him making a rock(?) arrangement on page 3 and he is twice referred to as "crafty".<br /><br />The three panel witch doctor scene is well done, with the doc all yellow and defeated by the end.<br /><br />The romantic moonlit waterfall scene on page 5 would usually be used for spousal termination but it'll work with any relative.<br /><br />The last page is great, with the two right panels delivering the creep factor, in contrasting styles - earthy black inks while the Obeah Men are "alive" versus the lighter line work of the ghostly killers.Mark Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-6348168876461188092012-05-03T13:55:09.400-05:002012-05-03T13:55:09.400-05:00The image of the site's host was almost as off...The image of the site's host was almost as off-setting as the woman singing 'Minnie the Moocher' with maracas.

He's some kind of <i>long haired hippie!</i> I was reading this blog thinking it was some nice, respectable, upstanding place! Whats next? He's in some kind of devil rock band?<br /><br />Long haired guitarist have NO place on the internet! :)Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-48720422138454478032012-05-03T11:36:18.504-05:002012-05-03T11:36:18.504-05:00Well, you know the old saying:
