Splitting Sides 3: Tales of Humorous Horror

Splitting Sides is back for round three! Based on the stories from horror writer, David Schembri, this third issue does not hold back. Once again, every page features distinct and dazzling illustrations by the author along with his darkly humorous tribute to horror comics of the 50s. Splitting Sides 3 presents two new tales: Death's Auction and Back to Byte You.

Dive the depths of the underworld and into deep and dark caverns, there you will encounter Death himself, along with his servant. You will have to read it to believe it.

After that, you will be transported into space. At the defence line of planet Earth, you will follow the history of the Human military's development of the Doom Canon. During the dreaded attack by an Alien species, the crew of the defending battleship discover they have more problems than the impending invasion.

Yes, there is a lot of action to be had here, and oh the horror!

Along with a delightfully entertaining advertisement and the addition of Daily Funnies that feature the comic strips, Stranded and Smart Dad, this third issue will leave you horrified and giggling at the same time. Sit back and enjoy the crazy corners of David's mind.
