There's a number of superb faux comic book covers here on Deviantart which I like a lot, so following suit, here is my little homage to those creepy monster magazine of old.Hope you like it.

(in fact if you look at the pile of art in this picture [link] ...you can just make out my original watercolored painting of Chaney that I used here )

Thank you, i just had to google Tod Slaughter, i thought he was another artist LOL. He looks a great subject to paint especially as the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Yeah, he was an inspiration for the League of Gentlemen, Brit tv show... He lifed the part, on and off screen/stage, he was the prototype for macabre horror actors, like Vincent Price.

As a kid Famous Monsters was the mag that I could never get (too young!)...a stolen peek into it's hallowed pages was all we kids could hope for whilst the newsagent was distracted!!
I did similar mock up many years ago...Sordid Stories it was called...I might have to revive the project now!
Brilliant as always...you've caught that pulp vibe perfectly.

SCREAM. Just read last page in SFX latest issue it has a feature page called Total Recall. They reminisce about the old stuff this time its a horror comic called Scream ---- i remember it well, it was a poor and much later version of Tales from the Crypt . Its what i read as a kid! In fact i still have all my old issue ( even though i just sadly lots a ton of my old comic collection through water damage , these were in a filing cabinet)
I never came across any famous monster issues in my youth.
Yeah do it! Revive your sordid past Kaduflyer!

Had to google Scream mag...it doesn't look familiar...maybe it never made it to these shores! I think there's an age gap between us...lol. I work in an industry where age is never an issue and I have good friends barely out of their teens and my best friends on the planet are young enough to be my kids....just!....I often find myself rambling on about some childhood reminiscent's and then just seeing a whole mass of blank faces and I realise I'm talking stuff they haven't a clue about!
As for reviving Sordid Stories? Yeah...well I've just discovered 'vore' art and was thinking it might be fun to do something along those lines...Sordid magazine would be the perfect vehicle for that!

My pleasure...I've got a soft spot for monster magazines, vintage-looking book cover mock-ups, Lon Chaney, and cool artwork! So this one hit those points pretty well!
