Word has come down the pike that my new Vampires Bloodshot One-Shot for Asylum Press has met with some temporary printing issues and will be slightly delayed, thus no longer making it the anticipated Halloween treat we'd hoped it would be. I'll update with the new release info as soon as I know more, and mucho apologies to everyone messaging me about it. In the meantime, here's another blood sucker tale to hold you over, from the July 1982 issue of Scary Tales #33, also just cruising down the pike, and lookin' for a bite...

I have never heard the term "suck eel" and I probably shouldn't have googled it.
I always like these kind of monster tales, where the monster gets killed in an unexpected and hilarious way, usually do to it's own negligence. This one does a great job of pre-announcing it (you see the signs) and then gets in the fun "don't drink and drive" joke in there.
Artist did a great job with the rain, and the top panel on page 3 is awesome. Page 2, panel 2 is also a incredible image. The light reflections, the moon in the parting of the clouds. This is just full of great artwork.
HA! "Suck eel." I think that falls under kerning problems. Good spacing is important in writing.
Yeah, all the brash young newbies think they can just laugh off the "no LI" rule, but they can't. And even if they really can, cherrypicking the data means I don't even notice it unless there some hilarious screw up. Let that be a lesson to you, kiddies!
Wow the textures and effects work in this art is really great. The depiction of water is successful at all times--in the air, across the windshield, and especially on the road. Page two panel two is awesome. I also really like the energy of the figure drawing on page four. It's kind of ironic that the most inert and awkward panel in the whole story is the splash, but don't worry--I still really like it. It reminds me of one of those natural history panoramas; a coral reef or maybe a dinosaur marsh. I kind of wish the figure wasn't even in it.
I hope after all of this that Brian starts a new band called SUCK EEL... or in the very least he writes a song about it, haha.
Grab a sheet of white paper and a big hunk of charcoal, we're heading to the graveyard in our next post to do some monumental rubbings. STAY TOMBED...
After a hundred of those "blood bank" jokes about vampires (not that I hate them), this joke was original, at least to me.
