Things are impossibly busy behind the scenes here at the Tearoom - we're technically homeless at the moment, so that's something we need to sort out sharpish - so it's another couple of weeks of low content mode, I'm afraid. Luckily, we can fill in the time with the thoroughly excellent 100 Horrors by the wonderful writer/artist Paul Chadwick.
They only got up to 13, as far as I can tell, but they are 13 absolute gems. They are mean and funny and whimsical and beautiful, and Chadwick would have killed it doing stories for House of Secrets or Plop!.
If you've never read Chadwick's comics, go and find them, they're all great. I've heard he is working on new Concrete, and that is something most definitely worth looking forward to.
And apologies for the monochrome, I couldn't find my copies of things like my much-read Concrete Eclectica comics to get the original scans, and could only find these black and white versions from the complete Concrete set of books. (Except for #8, my personal favourite, which I had saved on my hard drive.) They're still beautiful in black and white - you can really get an appreciation for Chadiwck's line and texturing - but the original colours by Elizabeth Chadwick and Chris Chalenor were really superb. The way you could see the insides of the people and animals cut in half by the death ray in horror number six was particularly gruesome.
See you later in the month!
