Description

First thing that comes to mind when I see this is the term, “hopped up on goofballs”. I don't even really know what a goofball is, but I definitely am one in the other sense of the word! This mini comic serves as a preview for Matt's upcoming release of Sweet Sepulcher. Wonderful hand lettering and inks to be had on this cover. Matt's take on this crazy character is on the money, right down to the distorted features and that two handed grasp on his bag of goodies. The Viagra Boys song above is the perfect soundtrack for this guy! There were so many choices at Heroes that I initially passed on this cover, so I was very glad to see this goofball still hanging around.

Sincere thanks as always goes out to Matt Allison and Sean at Athenaeum Comic Art!

Such a wild and great primer cover! The Whoppers have gone bad! Such great inks and lettering and I love how Matt did the colors for the final image as well.

Inked with fine lineweights to bring form and volume to the body horror and make even the oddly grotesque more attractive than a typical pin up!

Another crazily gruesomely good design form Matt paired with that sublime ink work. Congrats, T!
