A few days back I got an email from Sam who is the driving force behind a very cool digital horror comic anthology called Split Lip. Reading the different stories there reminded me of the classic EC Comcis of the 1950s that were taken down by Dr. Fredric Wertham’s writing on how comic books were crupting the youth of America.
Here is a description of what Split Lip is in Sam’s own words (Taken from his email to me)
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.
