Vampiress Carmilla #21 Cover Pays Tribute to Classic Creepy Magazine Cover By Frank Frazetta

Warrant Publications just shot me an email about their upcoming issue of Vampiress Carmilla, which should hit store shelves in April. This marks the 21st issue of the horror comic magazine and will feature the work of original Warren artists, writers and editors.

Egyptian Queen by Frank Frazetta Art Print Poster 24x36 inch - $13.49 @ Amazon.com - Order Here

If you think that the cover art looks familiar, it is a painting from 1975 by the famous fantasy and sci fi artist Frank Frazetta entitled Egyptian Queen. The image has graced the cover of pulp novels, rock albums and numerous books over the decades, but it is most famous for being used as the cover art for Creepy Magazine #92 in 1977.

Egyptian Queen has always been one of my favorite Frazetta paintings.

You can order both Vampiress Carmilla #21 and a poster print of the cover art at the Warrant publications website - HERE

My New Comic Book Obsession: Vampiress Carmilla

I made a wonderful discovery in the magazine section of my local Books-A-Million today. As my eyes danced over a fine selection of horror and sci-fi themed publications I suddenly felt like I had time traveled back to the 1970s. Right in front of me was a copy of Vampiress Carmilla Magazine that was an obvious homage to the classic Vampirella mags that I used to riffle through back when Smokey chased The Bandit.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead. The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately. Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
