Description

Introducing -- for the very first time -- DOCTOR OCTOBALL, The GRAVE GOBLIN, RHICERATOPS, KRAKEN THE HUNTER, LIZZARO and The GOREPION!

I've been posting pages with these "creepy kooky altogether ooky" characters for much of this year, but I was finally able to procure their VERY FIRST appearance!

Fantastic pencils and inks by the amazing team of Ed McGuinness and Cliff Rathburn. I mean, wow, look at those inks!

Yaaayyyyy!!! SO happy to add this one to my collection.

McGuinness brings back the fun side of his monster mash era of his Hulk run with these beastly designs!  A splash jammed with the powerful impact boldness to suit the artist's strengths!

Someone definitely fed them after midnight ... apparently more than once.

Nice! A great looking splash featuring some of the kookiest characters created in many a year! Doctor Octoball is the coolest and creepiest looking of the bunch, though he appears to be missing two testicles. Maybe Octoball is just a pseudonym and his real name is Doctor Sextoball?

C'mon, I know comics rot your brains(I am living proof) but hes got eight eyeballs, not the other type. I looked. I count eight eyes. Two on the head and six on the tentacles. As they might say in a bad U.S. sitcom, "Do the math, guys."

Really wacky artwork and design here.

Ruben may need to check his glasses or take note that there are different types of balls. Lol.

Absolutely love this splash and Ed's designs for this wild crew of monstorous rogues. Congrats on landing their splashy debut, Paul!

At least when the grave goblin gets impaled by his ride they won't have far to carry him to his coffin.

I swear dr. Octoball was either in Big Trouble in little China or in the DandD eye of the beholder campaign.  Beautiful splash
