Steve Perry/Steve Bissette - "A Frog is a Frog"

[jlroberson]

Some of you may know the writer of TIMESPIRITS and friend of Steve Bissette, Steve Perry, was brutally murdered last year. It's sad that more of his work isn't read these days. Here's an example, from BIZARRE ADVENTURES, 1982, written by Perry & drawn by Bissette and everything comic book horror should be. Most of it was posted at Comic Book Resources last year and you can read it here; here's a page to start.

And here's the final page. Which isn't what you might expect.
Rest in peace, Steve Perry.

Actually, the whole thing WASN'T posted there. That ends with "and now go find a copy of this old, out of print, non-collected book."

Good story, mind, but that was annoying!

Dang, my mistake. Corrected.

It's a devastating blow to hear the news of Perry's violent demise. He will be greatly missed.

Even though it has been a while since I read this story, it still gives me some nightmares. Kudos to Perry and Bissette for making such a marvelous horror tale.

Fortunately Steve has the rights to it, and Yeates has the rights to TIMESPIRITS too. The sad reason for that was that Perry, to survive in his last year & keep a roof over his young son's head, started selling his copyrights. Steve stepped in to at least prevent him from selling them to strangers.

A very sad story.
