BRAIN FREEZE FLATLINE This death will chill you to the bone! Jordan Ratzlaff is as dark as a sack of black cats, and his glare is colder than a grave digger’s ass in January! Seriously, drink in all in folks, It’ll tickle your innards like like a HOT DOG MARTINI. Don’t be sucked in by this predator posing as a house pet, Jordan Ratzlaff is a free lance character designer who’s work is as
flashy as a rat with a gold tooth. Poor Joe Zombie never stood a chance. It’s tough to swallow but our pathetic protagonist might have finally met his match, at the hands of 32 ounces of hypothermic BRAIN FREEZE! Jordan Ratzlaff
FEED’EM TO THE FISHES I ‘ranha tell you the tale of the cold-blooded man-eater, ready to devour our friendly neighbourhood “jerkbait” Joe Zombie in 10 seconds flat. With razor-sharp teeth and a relentless bite these cannibalistic critters will feed on any fool living or dead. Can you smell the blood in the water? Ken Davis dipped his big toe into this swimmin’ hole, stirring up
this feeding freenzy. This mad cap Storyboard artist /animator has worked on a few of your Saturday Morning favorites. From TMNT, to Freakazoid, to Action Man, Ren & Stimpy, the Raccoons and Baby Huey. Ken Davis KenDavisCartoons.deviantart.com
‘TAINT THE MEAT... ‘Taint the meat...its the biting, gnawing hunger that claws at your brain with these bargin bin, basement cuts of mystery meats, for all of your Cannibalistic cravings, now in our frozen food section. Sink your teeth into this prime cut of “Grade A” USDA art. Elaine “Look Straight Ahead” Will butcherd our melancholy meat puppet Joe Zombie, cut and quartered, and
pre-packaged our putrid protagonist all for the low low price of 1.99 a lb! When she is not sharpening her knives, Elaine can be found working on her books Look Straight Ahead, Dustship Glory, and Arkade! Elaine M. Will lookstraightahead.tumblr.com
it’s all in the letter, but the gist is: I don’t love you anymore, and I’m leaving you. Tah!
DEAD OF A BROKEN HEART dead OF A BROKEN HEART
Joe Zombie“ Template. Card Title: and EcstaCan Joe“Kill Zombie Survive a heartbreak? The Agony sy of a lifeless liason, a Flat-line Fling, One heart beats, the other needs a defibrillator. Our undead heartthrob has survived being buried alive, shot, stabbed, dismembered, and a rather nasty pink belly. But now he suffers from a Dear John
letter! Don brings us this tale of love, about the Passion and the Putrid, about Temptations and Decapitations When Donny is not breaking hearts he can be found working on his Retro Romance WebComic Don’t Know (Maybe So). Don Sparrow Donsparrow.com
PIRATE PRINCESS PLUNDER Avast ye Scallywags, Ryan “Daisy Blackwood” Howe will be having none of your Tom Foolery, High Jinx or Shenanigans. There is no “Jolly” in Joe Zombie’s “Roger” today. That boy is losing his head over this swashbuckling sweetheart, this Cutlass Cutie, this PIRATE PRINCESS. One too many “Booty”
puns have left our friendly neighbourhood zombie falling to pieces and shark bait. When Ryan Howe isn’t unnecessarily decapitating zombies he is spilling ink like a InSQUIDious Buccaneer Hellbent to Hornswaggle you out of your Milk Money, creating his comic. www.daisyblackwood.com
PUTRID PRAIRIE MASHUP A Putrid Prairie Mashup has the Horror rock Trio “Forbidden Dimension” front man, Jackson Phibes, Kills Joe Zombie with one hell of a killer Guitar solo! When he is not Choking his frets, he can be heard yowling “If you’re bleedin’, just keep repeatin’, It’s only a song, only a song, It’s only your heart beat beatin’. The sheer delight in Virginia Demntata’s face at
this gruesome scene is a constant reminder that there oughta be a law against kittens with claws. Seriously that cat is as mad as a meat axe. P.T. Bonham is a tall, dark, gruesome man. He will win anybody over, even if he has to carve the smile on your face! facebook.com/forbiddendimension
