Swamp Monster!


Not only does the comic Weird Mysteries #5 have one of the creepiest covers ever, it has Swamp Monster by Basil Wolverton inside of it. You can read it below.

But first, since Halloween is near, I thought it would be fun to turn a panel of it into shirts and such! Click here to take a look at my TeePublic store!



And now, on with our story! Originally published in June, 1953. Click to enlarge each.







Okay, even though I shutter to do it, here's the cover--

The Brain-Bats from Venus!


I really love Basil Wolverton's old sci-fi comic work! Most of it is in public domain, so I decided to design a shirt using his Brain-Bats from Venus story. The story first appeared in Mister Mystery #7, in 1952.

Here's my design! Order it on a shirt or or products at TeePublic, CLICK HERE.


What's that? You want to read this amazing, 7 page story? Okay. Here is it! Click each to enlarge.

Weird T-Shirts!

I've been adding new designs to my TeePublic store. I won't post every time I do, but I'd like to create a new one everyday for a while. Here are the most recent additions, based on Fletcher Hanks old comics!




Also, I've had my zombie/balloon art on Threadless for years. I've been very happy with it's steady performance. But, I thought it would be fun to add it to TeePublic where folks can choose their own shirt color. Oh! I also added some shading just for kicks. It will be on sale for the first three days--


Click here to visit the store. If you do, THANKS!!

SPACEHAWK art!


I'm trying something new! I love reading old, public domain comics, and I often wish I had a cool shirt or two. Not a mere old panel on product, but something actually DESIGNED. So, I decided to make a few myself and place them on TeePublic. I uploaded my first one. This artwork is based on various Spacehawk comics by Basil Wolverton. His early work is fantastic! You should buy a shirt, or tote bag, or such, just because his stuff is great! (And it helps support me!) For the first 3 days, it's only $14 for a shirt as compared to the normal $20. CLICK HERE!

EDIT: I just got a comment that about WHERE can you read these public domain comics? I love the DIGITAL COMIC MUSEUM site. Spacehawk appeared in Targent Comics #1 and continued for several issues. If you'd like to shell out a few bucks, Fantagraphics has a great book reprinting visually-cleaned-up versions of all the stories. I did not use the art from their book for my shirt. Thier labor is their own. I created my own from original sources.

Just for fun, I'll present a randomly-picked story right here in my blog! From Target Comics #8, SPACEHAWK and the Vulture Men from the Void!  Click on each to enlarge--
