info_outlineMONSTER PARTY SAYS, "MAKE MINE MONSTERS!"
JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, go the source of iconic funnybook frights! Whether you're a "Dracula" or a "Frankenstein", you're bound to love this celebration of abominable antiheroes, that we're simply calling... MONSTERS IN COMICS!!!
As monster kids, we all grew up deeply loving the terrifying but often misunderstood creatures that graced our movie and television screens. But when we couldn't access these screens, due to finances, school schedule, or parental guidance, comic books provided another portal of access to our monstrous friends. Whether it's classic monster heroes like THE INCREDIBLE HULK or SWAMP THING, Marvel horror titles like WEREWOLF BY NIGHT, TOMB OF DRACULA, MAN-THING (giant-sized or normal), or MONSTER OF FRANKENSTEIN, or the hellish creations from Todd MacFralane's SPAWN, these characters always delivered the ghoulish goods.
And monster comics continue their beastly boom! Which leads us to our extraordinary guest!
He's a 2020 RONDO HATTEN AWARD-WINNING ARTIST OF THE YEAR, and his recording-breaking run of collector cards, and comic book covers has received critical acclaim. On top of all that, his current Kickstarter comic book monster mashup, MARK SPEAR'S MONSTERS, has led to pre-orders going through the roof. And if that were not enough, he also gave us a master class in overcoming the trials and tribulations of making it in the comic book industry. Making his MONSTER PARTY debut, please welcome (we assume you've already guessed it)... MARK SPEARS! (SPAWN, SUPERMAN, GREEN LANTERN: WAR JOURNAL, POWER RANGERS, SAM & TWITCH, MARK SPEARS' MONSTERS TRADING CARDS, SEVERIN FILMS).
