Joe R. Lansdale wrote some horror comics in the mid-90's for Dark Horse and DC including some Jonah Hex mini-series' and an adaptation of his By Bizarre Hands. He also wrote the story which Bubba Ho-tep (the movie) is based on.

Here are the 4 issues of The Coffin mini. Great series, pick it up if you haven't already.

One of my top 5 current series:

I've been touting IDW's horror titles as being a recent front leader in making the genre popular again. This was a very good read plus the cover is gnarly!

 

[Jayman]

Also from IDW Pub. Secret Skull is turning out to be very interesting involving gouls and other supernatural elements.

 

 

Plus check out this half of a double page splash!

From Dark Horse was this four issue mini. Pretty cool, at times it reminded me of an old B-movie called (I think) "Race With The Devil" starring Peter Fonda. The story features a family being chased by an eerie Satanic Cult.

Notice a common name on all these titles? It ain't Rob Zombie! Although he does make an appearence in this years Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors!

 

 

Pssst!...Steve Niles.

Just read this one in the last week, so far, so good and a great cover to boot:

Great, POV! Another thread I gotta bookmark! Life for horror comic fans just sucks these days, doesn't it...

There was also recently a Landsdale mini series called "The Drive-In" which was pretty cool. I think the imprint was Avatar.

Yep - Avatar. Out in TPB form, now...

Pricy issue but had some chilling scenes and ending.

I hope this 30 Days thing doesn't get out of control here. I haven't read this issue yet but love the cover!

 

[Jayman]

Man! IDW seems like it's the only company pumping out horror titles lately!

I enjoyed this one though!

Brother J I agree completely!

Art on inside was nice too and a horror DC book to boot!

 

And... Welcome to the Boards!

I just picked up Issue 201 of Hellblazer. Now by the Avatar you know I'm biased, but this issue was just everything a horror story was meant to be. Its a stand alone issue no mini-arc - I applaud Vertigo once again for bucking the trend they started and producing one issues stand alone stories every once in a while in all their series.

 

HB 201 just reminded me of the classic BA and few precode issues I have. Great story, art and all self contained - it doesnt labor underneath the weight of continuity, yet captures the essense of Hellblazer. The only thing I wasn't nuts about was the cover, but the contents blew me away.
