If you are familiar with the old blog you will know that i'm a huge fan of indie pulp creator Dave Flora.I'm very happy to be able to say that Doc Monster, his 1950s pulp sci-fi adventurer, is back in a new webseries.
Doc Monster started out as a Zuda webcomic contest entry. I was a big supporter and i was disappointed that the comic failed to win that month. In hindsight tho that might have been a good thing... a few months later and Zuda is now defunct, whilst Doc Monster is back with a new look and a new direction. Dave is starting over with the character and, while all the things i loved about Doc Monster the first time out are still there, this reboot looks and feels like a much more mature and refined affair. It's also a lot more creepy.
I'm fortunate enough to know a little about where this new Doc Monster is heading, and believe me it is going to be fantastic... an epic love letter to 1950s B-movies that throws together everything from the Mothman and UFOs to commies and popular conspiracy theories... all of which is just the tip of a magnificent iceberg of fun and weirdness.
And of course there is Dave's art... which is never less than gorgeous.
Check out the Doc Monster webcomic and much more on Dave's fascinating blog.
Thanks for the kind words, Simon! I very much appreciate them, and your creative support!
