Italian Horror Fumetti Free Webcomic
Sulla scia del mitico Zio Tibia vi presentiamo Un brutto quarto d’Horror con il Professor Rantolo, una serie che propone con malvagia ironia il meglio dell’horror a fumetti sul web. Le brevi storie, ovviamente crudeli ed efferate, hanno come protagonisti schiere di zombies, fantasmi, vampiri, assassini e chi più ne ha più ne metta, alle prese con squartamenti, divoramenti ed atrocità di ogni genere! Un grande potenziale orrorifico messo in scena da una squadra di autori e disegnatori emergenti nata appositamente per questo progetto. Le storie presentate dal Professor Rantolo sono completamente originali e distribuite sotto forma di mini e-book a fumetti. Per dirla alla maniera dell'orrido Professore: “Tieniti pronto, caro lettore, per una sana dose d’orrore…"

	Call me an old fart, but I have a hard time getting much out of a horror story where the protagonist does absolutely nothing wrong, and meets a grisly end, finito. I prefer it if someone gets their just desserts if they're an SOB, or if an innocent dies I like there to be retribution on the bad guy. This is just... death by Wandering Monster (Reply to this)

	Who in their right minds picks up a severed ARM AND CARRIES IT IN HIS BACKPACK SERIOUSLY (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Someone taking it to the Police Station, rather than leave it to be picked apart by vultures/coyotes/rabid girl scout troops. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I were a cop, I'd be more suspicious of the guy carrying a severed arm in his backpack than someone who saw one in the road. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

True, but he's a conscientious guy trying to do the right thing. Going to the town specifically to go to the police station seems better then walking in and saying "Oh, by the way, I saw a severed arm on the road... I don't exactly know where, since I'm a hitch-hiker, but it's back 14 miles down that road, and no, I don't know if anything will have savaged it, possibly destroying evidence, by now."

And it's not IN his backpack, it's hanging off the back of it, which is at least easier to clean, I suppose.

	This wasn't very suspenseful or shocking at all. (Reply to this)

	Yich. That is one grisly-lookin' arm. No way I would have picked it up; I'd have flagged down the nearest car, told them it was an emergency, and asked to be driven to the nearest police station. I mean, picking it up is tampering with forensic evidence; if he HAD made it to the cops, they would have cussed a blue streak at him. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Leaving it in the desert would be as bad, as it would mean there would likely be no arm at all. And nothing says "Pick me up, I'm a harmless innocent hitchhiker" than waving around a severed arm at their car. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not necessarily - the thing is all rotted and nasty-lookin'. That gives the impression - the false one, as it turns out, but still - that the arm has been lying there for quite a long time. Therefore, it's not too likely that it'll vanish if he leaves it long enough to go to the cops, now is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I'd say it was very likely because carrion eaters will be on it like a fat guy on a free buffet! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psychop_rex 2009-03-27 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	No, but... what I was saying was that an arm doesn't get that rotted and nasty unless it's been rotting away for a long time. And as far as the guy knows, it's probably been rotting away THERE for a long time, at that exact spot. If it's managed to remain free from scavengers for all that time, how is him dashing to the cops going to make any difference? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm sorry, but this was very weak imo. If Italian horror comics have to be represented by something, I'd suggest Dylan Dog. (Reply to this)
