POPEYE Is STRANGE TO THE FINISH

Source: Monsterverse

Today is all about STRANGE, and I think this monsterous version of Popeye from artist Kamil Kochanski counts as .... well ....strange, but in a good way.

Check out the press release:

MONSTERVERSE LUGOSI COMIC - STRANGE TO THE FINISH - CONCEPT ART

A glimpse at the creators' work behind STRANGE TO THE FINISH, a new story in BELA LUGOSI'S TALES FROM THE GRAVE #2 horror comic from MONSTERVERSE. Inspired by horror make-up legend Rick Baker's cover!

Monsterverse publisher/editor/artist & story teller Kerry Gammill provides a character design for the "soul-stealing sailor" to be illustrated by Kamil Kochanski for the story, STRANGE TO THE FINISH.

Issue #2 of BELA LUGOSI'S TALES FROM THE GRAVE is currently being offered for order from Diamond distribution in its MAY PREVIEWS magazine and will be released in July for the San Diego Comic Con.
