| The blonde in the red dress doesn’t seem too distressed at being carried off by the hulking green monster – all in a day’s work for artist Bill Fraccio.
If The Coffin Fits has two neat ideas – the first is the grow-your-own-coffin but the second I won’t give away as it would be a spoiler. Well worth the time reading.
Ghost of the Undead has an interesting setting and a rare muslim vampire – an al-gul, I think you might call it (from which we get the word ghoul, I guess?) Vampires don’t exist in the Qu’ran, of course, but anyone on the planet must have come across the concept – if only through Hollywood movies. |
