Halloween Man Mixes Classic Scary And Pulp Fiction Into A New Comic


"Imagine a world where every piece of pulp fiction is true. Where superheroes fly through the sunlit sky and terrifying creatures go bump in the night. Where flying cars, robots and time travel are commonplace, and ancient evils plot to rise again. This is Solar City, Texas – home to a heroic monster and the brilliant woman by his side.”

What an attention grabber, right?! Halloween Man is a comic on the verge of being released and I urge any comic enthusiast to check it out. Drew Edwards, writer/creator for Halloween Man, pulled the majority of his inspiration from classic monster movies, Marvel's Silver Age Comics, and the cartoons of Charles Addams, as well as from experiences in his own life, when he created this rough and rowdy comic.

His crazy cast of main misfits includes Solomon Hitch and Dr. Lucy Chaplin, who are accompanied by Man-Goat and Morlack. Solomon falls in a long line of misunderstood monsters and conflicted heroes. Though sometimes surly, he is a fairly good guy with good morals, who just happens to be an undead, flesh-eating, killing machine. Dr. Lucy Chaplin is best described as the body of Marilyn Monroe with the brains of Reed Richards. She's Solomon's lover and also happens to be one of the smartest people in the world. Morlack, an aged wizard turned beatnik, and Man-Goat, an upright, crime fighting, talking goat, round out their crew.

Be sure to pre-order Halloween Man at your local comic book store with the Diamond Code: AUG07 3961. Drew's iTaggit collection will be available here soon, (comic book writers are busy people too). For Halloween Man's website, click here. For Halloween Man's MySpace, click here.

Featured on the cover of Halloween Man is Jami Deadly, a professional blonde bombshell and Marilyn Monroe impersonator. The cover art itself was shot by Gayla, owner of 666 Photography. I will be posting a blog around her and her company in the near future so stay tuned!
