Last of the Split Lip

My cover to Sam Costello's final book collection of the best online horror comics you'll find.

Sad to see it end, but Sam if far from over with the genre.

Trophies

Cover art to the standard edition of Sam Costello's Split Lip Volume 2; The Harvestmen and Other Stories (9 in all).
Much yucks for your bucks. Comes highly recommended.



I was thinking about Uncle Creepy, Albert Steptoe and grave robbing.
Often do.

Split Lip


By day, mild-mannered Sam Costello works in marketing, but at night he lurks in shadow, tap-rapping-tapping out tales of terror for his web comic Split Lip.
It's an ongoing series of self-contained stories. A mix of supernatural twist-in-the-tail and unsettling psychological drama.
Clearly a fan of classic shows like Twilight Zone and Night Gallery, along with the more bizarre contemporary horror manga and movies, Sam seamlessly blends this mix of influences with his own skewed view of the world.
His output is quite flabbergasting(especially considering his day job), and, in my eyes, he never writes anything below par.
I struggle to think of any other comic book writer working in the horror genre who can deliver so many consistently satisfying stories.
The stories are drawn by a diverse group of established artists and newcomers - some talented enough to be drawing the latest Hellboy spin off or Vertigo book.
Along with 100's of pages of FREE online comics , Sam puts out trade collections. Volume 2 is due later this month, but on offer RIGHT NOW is a special limited edition(only 35 copies available), signed and numbered by Sam, with a previously unpublished story, research notes, script excerpts, sketches, and a cover by me - all exclusive material that you won't get with the regular version.
Comes highly recommended.
