OMEN TO THAT - The Art of Horror Comics

In the world of horror sub-genres that includes everything from serial killer slashers and body horror to the paranormal, there has always been a special place for those movies, books and comics that pushed the boundaries a little bit further. From the first time Herschell Gordon Lewis shocked audiences in 1963 with the blood drenched classic Blood Feast, there has been a fascination for splatter horror, where the schlockier the action the better. Throughout the years many creators have continued this tradition including Ruggero Deodato, Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci and Sam Raimi, today we have Eli Roth and Rob Zombie carrying the blood soaked torch of all things gore.

And my guest on this episode is  the comics equivalent of a schlockmeister, his work captures the look and feel the genre that liberally mixes sex and gore with a healthy splat of comedy.

I sit down with Paul PJ Johnson and we discuss a range of topics from the importance of Batman in 1989 to difficulties of balancing life and comics creation. Oh and there is a healthy dose of gore too!
