Moongem Comics Changes

You might have seen a few changes at Moongem Comics earlier today. Yes, I have decided to give this blog a slight make over. The biggest change is the color so say goodbye to the white text on black background at least for now. I also did away with the counter and the header. Gone also is the dead blogs and sites. I have also cut back on the recent posts of my favorite blogs since a lot of them had not posted for three months or more. The biggest change will be future posts so stay tune for what I have in store.

Women Wednesday: Elvira Mistress of the Dark #10 Covers

Here are four of the most common covers for Elvira: Mistress of the Dark #10 from Dynamite Entertainment.

Cover A features the Mistress of the Dark sitting on the edge of a boiling caldron while using a salt shaker on herself. Two ugly witches in brown rags stand behind her and leer at her.

Cover B features Elvira sitting on her loveseat while holding a tv remote. Can you name all the monsters coming out of her tv set?

Cover C features the Mistress of the Dark waring a white nurse's uniform while holding a hypodermic needle.

Cover D is a photo cover featuring Elvira and her jazz hands.

Here is a two page cover gallery featuring all eleven covers of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark #10 from Dynamite Entertainment.

Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #1

Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #1 is now out just in time for All Saints Day (yes, it was out before Halloween too but I didn't get it posted in time for this year's Countdown to Halloween). The cover features zombified versions of Wolverine, Deadpool and Captain America. The body of Galactus is found floating in space and Reed Richards insist of going there with other super heroes so he can get a tissue sample. As you can imagine, his plan goes horribly wrong when they find out that someone has been living inside Galactus.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 31: DCeased #6 Cover

Wow, what a month and Halloween is now upon us. DCeased #6 is out now too and is the final issue of the mini series from DC Comics. The cover features Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn and a zombified Catwoman. This issue deals with a zombified Superman and I highly recommend you getting your hands on a copy.

This post wraps up this year's Countdown to Halloween. I hope you enjoyed the posts and don't forget to bookmark Moongem Comics for you never know what I might post next.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 30: Captain Kronos B Covers Featuring Caroline Munro

Technically, today is Women Wednesday so I'm just posting B covers of Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter from Titan Comics since they feature Caroline Munro. The four issue mini series from 2017 is a sequel to the 1974 Hammer movie with the same name in which she played the gypsy dancer, Carla. She has a much bigger part in this series as she assist Kronos along with Professor Grost. I highly recommend this mini series to all horror fans especially those that like vampires.

There may not be anything really horrible about these Hammer Glamour covers but even I need a break from the blood and guts every once in a while.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 29: Kermit and Vincent Price as Vampires

Kermit the frog proved that even Muppets can become vampires when Vincent Price guest starred on The Muppet Show in 1977:

Here's the video:

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 28: Omaha the Cat Dancer #8

The cover of Omaha the Cat Dancer #8 (October 1987) from Kitchen Sink Press finds Chuck and Omaha carving pumpkins on their front porch.

I can't believe that I haven't posted this before since this underground comix series is one of my favorites.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 27: Robyn Hood Cosplaying as Elvira

This artwork featuring Robyn Hood cosplaying as Elvira is cover C for Grimm Fairy Tales 2019 Halloween Pinup Special from Zenescope Entertainment. There are four different covers in all and you can view them here.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 26: The Addams Family and Monster Cereals

This year's monster cereals teams up with characters from The Addams Family animated movie that came out on October 5, 2019 (no, I haven't seen it yet since I can't bring my monster cereal boxes into the local theater). I found the family size boxes at the local Walmart Super Center on October 5th. Instead of a free toy included inside, they offer ten free pumpkin carving stencils to download at Monster Carving.

Here's the front of the Boo Berry box:

Here's the front of the Count Chocula's box:

Here's the front of the Franken Berry's box:

The back of each monster cereal box has the same Tricks & Treats puzzle. The text says "How frightfully fun! The Addams Family is trick-or-treating at the Monster's castle. But that's not the only trick you'll find in this scene. Can you find all 8 tricky mistakes? After you find them, look on the side of the box and treat yourself to free downloadable pumpkin carving stencils."

Another year of monster cereals that teases with my childhood memories. This time they offer free pumpkin carving stencils, which I will never use, instead of cheap toys. Glow in the dark figures of Boo Berry, Count Chocula, Boo Berry and the Addams Family would have been so much better and fun.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 25: Hiland Halloween Egg Nog

There used to be a time where you could only find Egg Nog of any kind between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve. Christmas was the holiday mostly associated with this thick concoction until several years ago when it started coming out before Halloween. I finally broke down this year and picked up a quart of Hiland Halloween Egg Nog.

I found nothing really special about the color and taste. I was hoping for at least a pumpkin orange color. The taste, while good, was still just plain old regular Egg Nog. I guess it was hard to duplicate the tastes of ghosts and bats like those on the container. Unfortunately, I didn't find any Peanut Butter Chocolate Reduced Fat Milk or Spooktacular Egg Nog from Prairie Farms at any of the local grocery stores.

The cover of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark Spring Special features her holding her dagger while sitting on a pile of sinister looking jack o' lanterns.
