    Pigeons From Hell

    DateSunday, April 27, 2008 at 12:02PM

    I just picked up the first issue of Pigeons from Hell from Darkhorse.  I completely love it.  The art has this weird cartoony look to the characters, but the rest of the world is super-gothic and dark.  Dead pigeons everywhere! Yuck.  A really strange story.  I was really creeped out by the first issue.  I think this is going to be good.  Also contains a great piece by the writer Joe Lansdale, who explains the history of the story, which is a short story from Robert E. Howard.  I only recently found out that he did more than Conan.  It sounds like he was a really excellent horror writer.

    Howard's horror output is incredible, if you ever get a chance to read anything I highly reccomend you look for some of the recent Baen collections like Beyond the Borders and Trails in Darkness, these should still be available. REH's excursions into the Lovecraft Mythos is equally frightening, and dare I say sometimes better than HPL's own tales!

    Also, Pigeons From Hell was adapted into a somewhat faithful TV episode of Thriller in 1961. Definitely worth watching AFTER you've finished the comic book series or read the original story: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0723089/
