Man with the Screaming Brain #2 (of 4)
 | The second issue of this film-cum-comics series from Bruce Campbell, star of Evil Dead and Army of Darkness , begins with our square-jawed anti-hero facedown in a ghetto alley, a bullet blown through his head, and ends with a reanimated monster that only this king of B-Movies could bring to life.

In this crumbling Eastern European city straight out of a classic Universal horror film, all anyone wants is a way out, and they'll stop at nothing-not murder, not extortion, not organ theft-to get it.

Perhapanauts #3 (of 4)
 | In our continuing effort to NOT tell you what happens in upcoming issues, today we field a letter from one of our avid readers. Dear Perhapa-dudes, Since the chupacabra originally comes out of Latin-American folklore, shouldn't Choopie speak with an outrageous Mexican accent like Speedy Gonzales? "He like my seester, I theenk." It would be so much funnier like that. Your numero uno amigo, Davy Glasmer Dengen's Creek, Iowa Dear Davy, Good question. But no. While the legend of the goatsucker does have its origins in Central American culture, Choopie was just a blood-sucking beast when he was first captured. It wasn't until he was exposed to the Evolvo-Ray that Choopie began to develop basic language skills. He was then exposed to countless hours of American television. That's where he learned to talk. Thanks for writing and don't forget to order The Perhapanauts #3. It will be much better than this solicit. And it'll have pictures. Sincerely, Todd and Craig |
