At the end of last week we received the news that another highly influential artist pulled up a seat at the great drawing desk in the sky. On the 2nd December Richard Corben passed away at the age of 80. Another talent gone too soon. I had to take a bit of time to put this one together as the bulk of his career is out of my wheelhouse. Upon doing my research I found a large quantity of work for the big two, so I thought by talking about this portion of his career with be a gateway for the readers to discover his larger body of work. Being a big fan of the Cartoonist Kayfabe Youtube channel, not a week geos by when Ed Piskor and Jim Rugg don’t talk about Corben’s art. I don’t think I would be able to write this one without their education.

As we’ve seen in the previous installments of “Clive Barker in Comics,” the author’s short story collection Books of Blood provided a lot of fertile ground for comic book creators. Eclipse published several volumes of comics adapting those short stories, getting a lot of mileage out of one corner of Barker’s overall body of work. It’s interesting, then, that one single novella of Barker’s has gone on to generate much more in the way of adaptations and extensions than the entire contents of Books of Blood. The Hellbound Heart originally appeared in Night Visions 3 (1986), one of a series of collections edited by George R. R. Martin. It’s since become arguably the defining work of Clive Barker’s career: it’s been reprinted in a multitude of mass market and limited stand alone editions, spawned the Hellraiser film series, and became the basis for that...

You may have seen that we’ve been covering Fatale on Daily Dead for the last couple of months. I’m more of a casual comic book reader, so although I’ve been hearing good things about this book when it was first released, it wasn’t something I picked up until recently.
Without going into too many details, Fatale is a horror noir tale that should especially appeal to fans of Lovecraft and the first eight issues have been a huge success for Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips.
I wanted to learn more about the series and where it is headed, so I got in touch with Ed Brubaker and sent a number of questions his way. For those that haven’t read Fatale, you’ll learn a bit more about how it all got started. If you’ve been a fan since the first issue, you’ll be...

I was trying to think of a way to start off this review and couldn't really think of anything except that I would consider Ragemoor an “old school” horror comic. To which I thought, what does that even mean? So, I started to ponder what it means for something to be “old school”. Does it mean something that harbors the same tropes and story beats as older horror stories? Does it mean a story that takes place in an “old” setting, so it doesn't function as a present day counter part would? What about a story that is a knockoff or a re-imagining of an older story? If I were to harbor a guess, I would say it could be all of them.
As my mini-rant does suggest, Ragemoor has an old school sensibility and style to it. It is also the product of long time collaborators Jan Strnad and Richard Corben.
