comic book cover



Comic book covers for an illustration elective-- the Tales from the Crypt is a typical revenge idea about lovers, maybe she killed her husband for his money or something and now he's back from the grave to get even, a common theme found in those old comics. The only part I made was the scene below the title, the icons on the left and title were taken directly from an actual issue (Jack Davis is the artist behind those three figures, I believe).

The Wacky Misadventures of Don Knotts was a gag idea where he's always found in the wrong place at the wrong time; with someone like Don Knotts, his shenanigans were tame and silly, so I thought making an extreme dynamic would be funny. Seeing the lighthearted 50s/60s comedian in extremely disturbing situations also re-emphasizes how much we adore the man.
