Splatter (Northstar)

    (Northstar, 1991-1994)
©1994 Arpad Publishing
Adult, B&W

Northstar comics advertises Splatter as “The Full Metal Horror Anthology.” To put it mildly, this is not subtle stuff. Splatter is a collection of shock stories that mix alternative comix’ love of graphic oddness with a B-grade horror flick’s love of gore. Serial killers, backwoods zombies, and ultra-violent psychopaths are standard fare for the series.

It’s not highbrow stuff by a long shot, but still there is something strangely lovable about a title that is so unflinchingly true to itself.
