The Gang gets free from the clutches of the Thing! Now it’s up to Lope to put the amulet to good use! Like anyone Marcie and Lope are pretty terrified by this monster but they still want to do what they can to stop it from eating more than cows and birds! These little heroes are just beginning to be put to the test, as they will all have face their fears as they encounter more and more supernatural menaces. There is a bigger story being told here as I slowly introduce you to my cast of characters and the strange town of Ghostport.
I had fun creating this page especially panel 1 with the bouncing Lope! And during all the action the kids have kept up chanting those words in hopes of getting rid of the Thing!
I hope you’re enjoying my nod to to H. P. Lovecraft, an author whose influence will be seen again for sure! My next ‘tribute’ story will be coming up next and I won’t even give you a hint other than it’s a Christmas story! I have another one coming up in Issue #7 that’s a nod to the work of Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy and a whole bunch of creepy characters!
And now the NEWS! Two bits of info I thought I should share that’s happening this coming weekend!
First, I’ll be appearing Saturday and Sunday at MICE 2014 in Cambridge, MA! It’s an indie Comic Con and I’m very thrilled to be a part of it! Check out all the details HERE!

Chunk it, Lupe! Let it burn like a hot knife through jello!
Yeah that Amulet is up to something! thanks for reading Pal!
Oops! I mean Lope!
😉
Wow! There’s a lot to sink in here! Great work, Rich!
Thanks Tim, I really appreciate you taking the time to write such wonderful compliments!
This comic is so awesome…but it would be even MORE awesome if we could finally get that Graveyard Gang/Deep Dive Daredevils crossover going! 😀
Thank you thank you for the awesome compliment! Yeah the GG/DDD crossover would be fun, I picture that Captain Squallus once served Captain Custer and they didn’t part on the best of terms!
Can’t wait to see what that amulet does! Hopefully it’s not like Rita’s staff from Power Rangers that makes monsters grow :p
Voted!
Let’s hope not Mat! Well be sure to come back and see what happens! Thanks so much for all your support, your kind words, and voting, it really means a lot to me!
Again, I like the layout and the look. Very nice.
Thanks Mike! As you well know, as an artist, you wonder if your layouts will be understood by readers, glad it seems to be working for you!
This ain’t the kind of Happenin’ I ever want to be a part of! Love the movement in the first panel, Rich, and of course your amazing design and color scheme!
Thanks Mark, I always appreciate your kind words! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my story!
That monster finally gets what’s coming to it. As others have said Rich great colours.
Yes, who knows who The Thing would snack on next! Thanks for the kind words about my colors Tony, I labor long and hard coming up with the right ‘recipe’!
