MONSTER COMICS

The Accursed MUMMY! A school trip to the museum results in a near apocalyptic summoning! Next time the childeren probably won't touch the artefacts...assuming there is a next time. This is the second in a series of online monster comics entitled "Scary Stories for Perceptive Children" The idea is to create exciting and educational artworks accessible to both the young and young at heart. Each tale features children and emphasizes the importance of the young mind. In these stories it is up to the kid's to determine a resolution as it would appear the adults remain perpetually clueless.

Independent comic "Robot" Here is page one of the short post apocalyptic poem about a world dependent on Robots. In the future the world is decimated by radiation and humans have been forced to live underground. The sub-level societies are able to function largely in part due to the advanced Robot Technology that allows them to scavange the surface for supplies.I also uploaded this to my online comics page of heyapathy-comics-art.com  but the scans are terrible. I hope they look better here (I'm working on the situation, all apologies) At any rate this is the first in a series of strange occurances catalogued in the new HEY APATHY online comics. Book Two of the printed flagship title "HEY APATHY!" is still held up due to technical difficulties but I'll have the new proofs next week. Simutanenous production of the online series and book three (tentatively entitled "the black wall mystery") continues...
