Scream!

The Photographer in Blowup

08:53 / 08.11.03

Not sure anyone has posted this already, but someone has made a website dedicated to the weekly British horror comic Scream! that was published between 1984-85, and the first issue is now online:

Scream!

The art, mostly black & white, is amazing and better than most stuff being drawn today in comics. The 2nd story in the comic, 'Monster,' by this guy called Alan Moore is particularly creepy.

Hoping the owner puts the whole run online eventually.

Scream rocks!! I'm amazed this thread didn't get responses two years back when it was started. Are we the only two 'Loids for whom Scream! was basically the only graphic horror of in our early childhoods? I mean, before we could watch films on video (and those newfangled video recorders were rare things then, believe it or not, not to mention the fact that it was hard for us to see horror films 'cos of the ratings), this was all there was for us. And what more did one need? It was, to us back then, truly mindblowing stuff.

There's an article on this comic in the current edition of a UK magazine dedicated to the weird and wonderful called Naked (the probably NSFW website of which is here), btw.

The Thirteenth Floor. The Thirteenth Fucking Floor. God, I loved that strip.

The Thirteeth Floor? Now don't be so silly Flyboy! Why, everyone knows this building doesn't have a thirteenth floor.

* looks up in alarm, wondering why the lift has just shuddered to a halt between floor 12 and 14... *

And so on.

Ahhh, happy days...

Ah, one of my favourite's as a child. I recently refound them, but gave them to my nephew. Thirteenth Floor was great, Monster was a favourite, the only one that never really did it for me was the Dracula one - even the cat thing was better than that. Does anyone still have their vampire teeth from issue one?

Damn that was a great comic - in fact that and Oink were both better than most US comics coming out around that time.

Mein Gott, Doomlord! I always remember the photo-story instalments. They were utterly hilarious.

(Incidentally does anyone remember the photo-story Nemesis the Warlock series? Loads of very crap rubber masks and people pulling over expressive faces of PURE TERROR! Fucking priceless).

Great to see Scream again. I do have to wonder what the hell my mum was doing when she let me buy it though.

I'd never seen this before, but reading the entirety of "Monster" while I was home sick from work and high on cold meds was awesome beyond compare.

"Ohhhkayyy...Terreee no hurd people no morrrre..."

"Oh, Uncle Terry, that's what you ALWAYS say!"

Fantastic. The guy who posted these is my new hero.
