Halloween Man #3
vs. The Invisible Man, Part 3 of 4
Written by Drew Edwards

Halloween Man is a straight up indie comic book. You probably won’t find it in your local comic shops, and you won’t see it on the racks at any chain bookstores, but you can find it online. Before today, I had heard about the character, but I’ve never read a single issue. And I’m glad that has been rectified. The comic is about a reanimated corpse that fights monsters alongside his caretaker/girlfriend. It deal with horror elements, and Halloween Man wears a jack-o-lantern t-shirt, which I have to say is a style that I envy.

In the current Halloween Man storyline, writer Drew Edwards is taking the title character through a very not-for-all-ages story, as the hero is trying to stop and kill an unknown monster who is murdering workers at a nearby fetish house. In the previous issue, we find out, however, that the killer is The Invisible Man, who has the opportunity to do and torture whoever he chooses because no one can see him commit his felonious acts of malice. This is the penultimate chapter in this storyline and it leaves me wanting more.

Geeks of Doom had the chance to ask Drew Edwards, creator and writer of the indie comic Halloween Man, some questions about his work, how he got there, and where things may be going!

For those unfamiliar with the title, Halloween Man began as a webcomic about a regular dude named Solomon who becomes a V8 for a hungry vampire. Instead of death, a wizard named Morlack decides to channel the monster movies on TV into him, making him completely immortal, but very zombie-like, needing too feed on some flesh as often as he can. Thankfully his girlfriend is into the wild and crazy, so being undead, having half a deformed face and a purely skeletal arm happens to be alright with her. He also has an enchanted shovel to do battle with and his buddies Nickodemis and Man-Goat to keep him company!

And now, the universe of Halloween Man will crossover into the world of Devil’s Due’s Hack/Slash with Hack/Slash vs Halloween Man, Part 1 of which available now in jpg or pdf formats, and eventually as part of a printed trade paperback collection.
