"Imagine
a world where every piece of pulp fiction is true. Where superheroes
fly through the sunlit sky and terrifying creatures go bump in the
night. Where flying cars, robots and time travel are commonplace, and
ancient evils plot to rise again. This is Solar City, Texas – home
to a heroic monster and the brilliant woman by his side.”
What
an attention grabber, right?! Halloween
Man is a comic on the
verge of being released and I urge any comic enthusiast to check it out.
Drew Edwards, writer/creator for
Halloween Man, pulled the majority of his inspiration from classic
monster movies, Marvel's Silver Age Comics, and the cartoons of
Charles Addams, as well as from experiences in his own life, when he
created this rough and rowdy comic.
His crazy cast of main misfits includes Solomon Hitch and Dr. Lucy Chaplin, who are
accompanied by Man-Goat and Morlack. Solomon falls in a long line of
misunderstood monsters and conflicted heroes. Though sometimes surly,
he is a fairly good guy with good morals, who just happens to be an
undead, flesh-eating, killing machine. Dr. Lucy Chaplin is best
described as the body of Marilyn Monroe with the brains of Reed
Richards. She's Solomon's lover and also happens to be one of the
smartest people in the world. Morlack, an aged wizard turned beatnik,
and Man-Goat, an upright, crime fighting, talking goat, round out
their crew.

Deadly, a professional
