2016 Comic Challenge 102 Proof #01

TITLE-Proof #01
PUBLISHER-Image

Back a few years ago a guy I know from a comic forum came up with a neat way to not only get rid of comics he didn't want ,but also a way to make a bit of money. He started up Cheap-o-comics. Where for $5 plus $3 for shipping he sent you 5 random comics. It was in one of these random lots that I got Proof.

Created by Alexander Grecian and Riley Rossmo,Proof is a series about an X-files like group. They work for the government. And John "Proof"Prufrock is a Sasquatch. Who works for this team. They mostly track down cryptids.

The story in this issue is a nice balance of drama and comedy. The artwork looks great and fits the mood of the story very well. And after reading this issue I now want to track down the rest of the series.

Proof #01 gets a buy.

3 Toys from the Junkbox Halloween edition

Thanks to store remodeling I have been getting the blind bag Imaginext figures cheap. With movie reviews and trying to at least finish 5 books this month I doubt I will do another of these this month. I got enough Halloween/Horror style toys to do a few. But on to the 4,yeah it's almost Halloween fuck the rules getting 1 extra toy this time.

From series three this is some kind of either alien or undersea creature. Good sculpting on the legs and arms and face. The spear looks really good also.

But if you take the helmet off and the spear away it looks a bit more like the Creature from the Black Lagoon. I wouldn't mind getting another of these since it has two very different looks depending on if you put the accessories on or not.

 BIGFOOT!!! There is a huge Imaginext remote control Bigfoot I have been trying to get for over a year. This smaller one,that comes with a giant fish!!!!,will make a good substitute.

Yeah you take the Mask off and and he looks doofy. But you can now add a Bigfoot mask to your other Imaginext figures.

This one is like the first one in that it has two totally different looks.With the "tater sack" mask on and weedwacker he looks like either Jason Voorhies in Friday the 13th part 2 or the killer from The Town that dreaded sundown.

You take the "Tater Sack" off and you got a great zombie figure.This line is for 3 to 8 year olds ,so a toy this creepy and scary in a line aimed at that age group is strange but a neat find.

Finally this very very well done vampire. The sculpting ,paint job and accessories are the best I have seen from this line of toys.The bat seems to hold best on the right arm. And the cape is a nice touch,

He does lose a bit without the cape. And the bat. But still a great looking figure. One I am kind of glad I got 2 of now.

31 Days of Horror Movie 23

Night of the Demon
1980
Image Entertainment Horror Collection Extravaganza DVD

This is another film I heard about for decades. I never saw the VHS for rent. And never saw it airing on TV. Code Red released it to DVD. But I didn't manage to get a copy before it went out of print. So when I heard about this 6 film collection from Image Entertainment I had to get it. Got it last year as a X-mas gift.

A college professor and some of his students head out into the woods searching for Bigfoot. And really there isn't much plot to this film. It is just a bunch of gory kills. Most of which are great. Bigfoot uses a hand ax to kill some people. But the most infamous scene is when a biker pulls over to take a piss. He is whizzing on a bush. And Bigfoot happens to be in that bush. So Bigfoot reaches up and rips the biker's cock off. The biker stumbles off and bleeds to death.

This film has an pretty interesting history. Over in the United States it was almost forgotten a few years after it hit VHS. But over in the UK it was added to the video nasty list. So it became a huge cult classic.

Night of the Demon gets a C+.
