Sketchy Details: A conversation with illustrator Loston Wallace

Trevor Hogg chats with illustrator Loston Wallace who provides a personal tour of his commissioned artworks...
“I've been drawing since I was four years old,” states American Illustrator Loston Wallace whose fascination with comic books, cartoons, science fiction, and horror films, such as the Universal Monster classics, is reflected in his artwork. “My formal art training came from attending the Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphic Art where I met my wife Carolyn.” The native of Clintwood, Virginia began his professional career by illustrating role-playing games such as Deadlands: The Weird West, Battletech, Indiana Jones, and Shadowrun. “In 1998, I began freelancing for the DC Comics Licensing Department, where I illustrated children's books based on Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series.” The job would last for 12 years and during that time Wallace produced books for Krypto the Superdog and The DC Super Friends. “In 2001, I was one »

Frankenstein Alive, Alive! #1
Idw
Story: Steve Niles
Art: Bernie Wrightson
Okay, monster kids. You may not frequent a comic shop, but here are five good reasons that you should go out of your way, take the scenic route to a store, and buy this issue.
1. It is, simply put, a gorgeous book. The weight of the paper feels good in your hands. The text begs for repeated readings. The black and white spreads will take you back to times when a grey film palate was the pinnacle of imagination and wonder. In fact, if you buy the issue digitally, you are doing yourself a disservice.
2. Steve Niles. He is king of the comic monsters, and if anyone knows Frankenstein, it’s Niles. He’s created a smorgasbord of awesomely horrific properties. Niles is also a true punk rock champion of creators and artists. He set up a donation pool for »

Review: Frankenstein Alive, Alive!
6 May 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
I'm always skeptical about “sequels” to properties. Like, a few years ago when an "official sequel" novel to Bram Stoker's Dracula written by his grand-nephew or something. Needless to say I don't really see a point in doing a sequel to something that wasn't intentionally thought of or doesn't have some sort of connection with the original creators, but it does happen and sometimes they're quite good. Frankesntein Alive, Alive! would certainly be in that category.
If there are two people in the comic book world that know monsters it's Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson. Being the creators of some of the most influential and memorable monster comics ever there's no need to check their credentials. Plus, with the two of them having worked with the Frankenstein monster before it only makes sense that they would team up to tell this story.
Frankenstein Alive, Alive! is a sequel to »
Mike Gold Can Count To 32!

I used to provoke this asinine debate – one of a great many – that if we refer to comics published circa 1943 to 1950 as 52-pagers, we should refer to contemporary comics as 36-pagers. I always got pushback from my fellow fanboys; consistency is in the mind of the beholders, hobgoblins that we may be.
Well, finally, decades after I threw in the towel, this debate has been resolved. And not in my favor.
This physically came to my attention in the form of an advance copy of Idw’s Frankenstein Alive, Alive! It’s by Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson, which is some amazing pedigree. Of course, Bernie has been known for his efforts with the Frankenstein Monster since well before his first name grew that extra E, and Steve has been l’enfant terrible of horror-themed comics for the past decade. Both earned their high reputations the hard way: they worked for it. »

Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: A Tribute to Stephen King Part 3
20 April 2012 11:57 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
"Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast."
"Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home." - The Stand
"The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window.” — The Stand

There may not be a more beloved actor in the horror/sci-fi genre than Doug Jones. With an impressive resume that includes some of the most amazing F/X creations ever captured on film, Jones has the uncanny ability to breathe extraordinary life into the most beautiful of characters.
Recently Doug Jones sat down with Dread Central to discuss his current projects.
Jones was featured as the enigmatic Roger North in John Dies at the End, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival. "This is the film adaptation of the very popular book John Dies at the End," Jones said. "Don Coscarelli adapted it for film, and he directed as well. He's a genre favorite, and we were all in good hands with him."
