A Moment of Comics

It's October! Let's post some Halloween and/or horror comics this month! here's a shot of Lord Pumpkin from issue #3 of Sludge, a comic that was part of the late Ultraverse line at the also defunct Malibu Comics. Written by Steve Gerber and drawn with a nice Kelley Jones vibe by Aaron Lopresti and Gary Martin. 

Lord Pumpkin is a villain we never got to see shine. Especially after Marvel bought Malibu Comics for their coloring technology and drove the Ultraverse into oblivion. The villain's visage alone demanded an epic story we never got since Sludge got cancelled after only twelve issues. Never got to witness dive deep with either him or his young sidekick, Pistol. Sludge is another book I may write more about someday, along with other Gerber titles.
