The Melvins Comic Book

[Greasy Statement]

apparently the fun idea they're doing with this is putting out a comic book based on the album. there's a link to the cartoonist's blog. that would explain why this is taking a while....

I just read this at http://hydraheadlines.blogspot.com/2008/01/melvins-comic-book.html

My pals over at Hydra Head Records are putting out a fancy, limited edition vinyl version of "(a) senile animal" by The Melvins. They had the bright idea of asking me to do a comic book inspired by the album. Having been a HUGE and LONGTIME fan of The Melvins, I of course said "Hell Yeah!"

Above is the first page that I inked today. The whole comic will be 22 pages long. In keeping with the surreal nature of the band, the story is quite strange. Instead of trying to interpret the album, I used the song titles as inspiration for the characters (such as: A Talking Horse, The Civilized Worm, and Blood Witch) and then wrote a story around them.

I'll post some more updates as I go along with this project.

holy shit thanks for posting that blog, I never knew it existed and because of that I was able to grab a Khanate shirt and hoodie off their ebay store for semi-legit prices considering how old that merch has to be. I'm like speechless, I've only been a fan of the Khanate/Sunn/etc. since 2007 and have wished I could have grabbed a shirt or two after looking at old designs on ideologic and I finally have some!

edit: also I wonder if these pics on the hh main page might be some of the characters, looks sort of similar: http://www.hydrahead.com/

design aside, wait til you see the "quality" of the shirt itself. you'll know why they had extras.
