11:57 pm [pyrotwilight] [Link]	Simon Dark #1 Since Halloween is just about here for me it's time to post a Halloween esque story, meet Simon Dark! Meets Gotham City's greatest new hero! If anyone really wants me to I'll continue posting after this, let me know. I absolutely loved the Simon Dark series and while I can only show you so much hopefully you will too.

07:37 pm [volksjager] [Link]	The dead are rising and they want vengeance : Zombie Suicide Squad Halloween Week (superheroes) This is from the excellent double sized 50th issue of the SS.

08:08 pm [daniellau] [Link]	Halloween week - THE DARK DRINKS BLOOD, by Junji Ito This is the first story from the VOICES IN THE DARK anthology, which I've begun translating. I've had a gloomy, depressing week, so it probably wasn't a good idea to bring you another story by Junji Ito. He's the guy behind UZUMAKI and GYO, so things are almost guaranteed to go disastrously wrong. To remedy this, I've tried to post only the pages that contain an uplifting story of teenage love. Unfortunately this has meant excising almost every page of the story.

09:53 pm [lissa_quon] [Link]	Halloween Week - Tommy Rawhead and Bloodybones Since its Halloween and all, I thought I'd post one of my favorite sequences from one of my favorite comics ever, Courtney Crumrin. This series is printed through Oni Press and is typically marketed to the young adult Harry Potter crowd but it's really a decent read for older crowds as well. These scans are from the first issue of the second story arc Courtney Crumrin and the Coven of Mystics. Courtney is a rather cynical mean spirited girl who dabbles in magic and lives with her rather shallow parents and her warlock uncle on the edge of a creepy wood filled with goblins and fairies and other "Night Things" on a regular basis. One day she feels something in the woods that is more horrible than usual and proceeds to investigate. ( The worst hobgoblin that ever was ) Tags: publisher: oni press, theme: halloween (18 comments \| Leave a comment)
09:42 pm [seawolf10] [Link]	An old favorite of mine for Halloween Week (1 of 3) The Doom That Came To Gotham. Mike Mignola writes an Elseworlds crossover between Batman... ...and the Cthulhu mythos. ( In fact, the name's a nod to H.P. Lovecraft's short story, 'The Doom That Came To Sarnath.' ) Page count: 16 out of 48. And man, I had to cut a lot of good stuff (snarky commentary, homages, references) to pare it down that far. Since this is out of print and pretty hard to find, is there any chance of being allowed to post more than the usual 1/3 limit?

06:53 pm [fungo_squiggly] [Link]	You can't spell "Halloween" without "Fuan no Tane!" Well, obviously you can. But you shouldn't! In this final (hah!) three post series, I finish off the very last of the allowable page limit for each of the three volumes of Fuan no Tane. In so doing, I will fulfill a few requests I got way back when, and also post several stories never-before-seen on scans_daily. Excited? ( I hoped you would be. ) Tags: theme: halloween, title: fuan no tane (12 comments \| Leave a comment)
