Marvel Zombies Christmas Carol

Mar 10, 2011 | | Comic News

Marvel is proud to announce that artist David Baldeon will be joining writer Jim McCann for MARVEL ZOMBIES CHRISTMAS CAROL! Guaranteed to make you even more afraid of things that go bump in the night, Marvel’s twist on the acclaimed Charles Dickens tale will send chills down your spine! As the Hungry Death consumes the land, Ebeneezer Scrooge must be sent back to Christmases past with his undead friend Jacob Marley to learn the origin of this vicious scourge. When we started working on this idea, I was amazed at how well the original text worked in with the concept of the undead. We’ve taken a way to introduce ‘zombies’ in a Victorian manner, keeping with the chilling tale Dickens crafted in the 1800s,” said McCann. “I think that David’s amazing designs show you how well it will look. We aren’t going for campiness or shoving zombies into a popular story, but for true Victorian horror…and a small glimmer of hope that lies in one man’s cold heart: Scrooge!”

Amazing Fantasy #15 goes for $1.1 Million

Mar 9, 2011 | | Comic News

A comic collector has
been caught in Spider-Man’s web, paying $1.1 million for a near-mint
copy of “Amazing Fantasy” No. 15 that features the wall-crawler’s debut. The
issue, first published in 1962, was sold Monday by a private seller to a
private buyer, ComicConnect.com chief executive Stephen Fishler told
The Associated Press on Tuesday. It’s
not the
highest price ever paid for a comic book, an honor that goes to “Action
Comics” No. 1 with Superman on the cover, which went for $1.5 million.
But Fishler says the price paid is the most for a book from the Silver
Age, the mid-1950s to about 1970.

7 Disney Princesses = 7 Deadly Sins

Mar 6, 2011 | | Comic News

Well there isn’t quite 7 Disney princesses shown, but the Tinkerbell there is an appropriate choice for her sin of Envy. Coming to me via Twitter from user @DeeNuke who found it on Tumbler, which came from DeviantART (isn’t the internet fun!). You can check out artist chill07’s Disney inspired 7 Deadly Sins where you’ll see Jasmine as Wrath, Ariel as Greed, Cinderella as Lust which I found very fitting and a few others that I’m sure you can figure out. If the sins just aren’t your thing you can also check out 7 Virtures with the Dinsey princesses from artist pat7 that was also discovered by @DeeNuke aka Andreea D. Personally I love Chris Hill’s (chil07) art style and after checking out his page I hope to see more from him in the future. His coloring in particular is very good and what really makes the art stand out. So sit back and take in some cool art with everyone’s favorite Disney women.
