The fourth issue of DARK WORLDS QUARTERLY is here!
It has been a very long and hard winter and we’ve been doing some much needed hibernating. We’re very much awake now for Spring of 2018, and we managed to give the old Quarterly a bit of a new look! Plus we have some awesome stuff for you! We have chills, thrills, surprises monsters and giant lizards!
To begin with we have an interview with writer Michael May, comic book author and proprietor of his very own Michael May’s Adventure Blog. Michael talks about his Dark Horse comic title KILL ALL MONSTERS and reveals how he is influenced by Kaiju movies, the stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Ian Fleming’s James Bond!
We also have a profile of the unique Canadian blogger, Calvin Heighton whose blog The Cave of Cool keeps tabs on pop culture, cosplay, cat captions, toys and almost everything else under the sun. Heighton talks about how he got started and what drives him to keep going.
G. W. Thomas takes a look at Reptilicus, a 1961 Danish Kaiju film that was adapted for US audiences by American International Pictures. He also has an article about Jack Kirby’s comic classic Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth, and a surprising story about how science fiction greats Edmond Hamilton and Leigh Brackett wrote an issue of the Batman comic back in 1953. It’s a fascinating and illuminating read!
Continuing with the comic book theme M. D. Jackson has an in-depth essay about the history of comic book art and Calvin Heighton has a review of the animated adaptation of DC’s Gotham by Gaslight.
All this and much more is in our Spring 2018 issue!
