So, a bunch of us were talking and thought it would have been cool if for the anniversary Dave Gibbons had redrawn on of the issues ,but with the original Charlton heroes instead of the replacements. We thought Issue 5 would have worked best. What do you think ?

Do something funny for money! ...again

So, following on from our red-nosed Turtles earlier in the week, I bring you more from the glorious Comic Relief comic of 1991.

From the mid-1960s, at the height of his fame, this guy was a fine penciller but is better remembered for his clean, polished inks.

Harrowing Horror and Blood-Curdling Cuteness (Fuan no Tane)


Below the cut you will find, as requested, the story of the Self-Cutting Emo Ghost Girl. Don't let my cutesy alterna-title fool you, it's actually one of the more disturbing stories in the manga series thus far (and it's definitely the goriest). Then, as a palate cleanser, there will be a couple of extremely non-scary ghost stories, including one of my personal favorites: the saga of Michiko Kozue.

Again, the first story is NSFW due to gore.

Also - I would recommend today's Sluggy strip. It's a good contrast of white/black/red that was done in other movies and it works very well in comics.
