Brain not spinning up today. No energy drinks left in office fridge. Diet Dew can only do so much. In lieu of the insightful commentary you’ve come to expect here at the joezone here is the first comic I ever did. The art is by a terrific artist named Matthew McGuigan whose stuff you can find HERE.
It was for a horror anthology called “Midnight Feature” in the style of an old Tales From the Crypt or CREEPY. The horror host who introduces the story was named the Projectionist and the premise behind the book was that each comic was a horror short the Projectionist was showing to a theatre full of monsters and ghouls etc.
Years later a horror anthology film came out called “Nightmare Cinema” wherein a horror host named The Projectionist showed horror shorts in a decrepit, spooky theatre. Did Mick Garris steal this idea from a tiny comics anthology with upwards of 150 copies in circulation? No, no he did not… but it still bummed me out when I saw the DVD of “Nightmare Cinema” at walmart. I’ve never watched the movie, but I bet there’s no homicidal walruses in it.
