Recently I got an email from Sam who is the driving force behind a interesting digital horror comic called Split Lip. I checked out the comic and I really liked what I saw there.
Sam sums up the comic the best in his own words…
Split Lip is a monthly horror webcomic, written by me and drawn by a different artist from all over the world each month (the artist reside in countries as far-flung as the U.S. and Hungary, the U.K. and Uruguay) . Each story is self-contained. The series explores a horror of both ideas and images and has influences ranging from The Ring to Joyce Carol Oates, David Cronenberg to David Lynch, House of Leaves to Junji Ito.
Split Lip has been online since Oct. 2006. In that time, we’ve published 15 stories for a total of nearly 200 pages of comics. It has been called “the predominant original horror comic work on the Internet” by The Horror Blog and has been mentioned on many horror and comics websites, as well as in Rue Morgue magazine.
As I read some of the sotries there I found myself thinking a lot about the old horror comics published by EC comics in the 1950s. If you enjoy horror comics this is something that you really don’t want to let pass you by.
