086: Dave Dwonch
Funny Book Splatter
10/05/18 • 58 min
This week I had an awesome chat with writer Dave Dwonch. His work includes Prom of the Dead and the new webcomic, Mind Palace, which creates a singular universe of all of Bryan Fuller’s TV creations, including Hannibal. Dave has an abundance of stories and we just scratch the surface in this conversation. I definitely want to get him back on the show to talk some more.
Dave can be found online at OutOfMind.co. You can find Mind Palace at MindPalaceComic.com and you can purchase Prom of the Dead at BehomethComics.us.
In other news, past guest Mike Garley has returned to Kickstarter for a one-shot digital comic called Our Final Halloween. At the time of this recording, he’s only a few days in with over 100 backers and about halfway to the funding goal.

032: Garth Matthams
Funny Book Splatter
09/15/17 • 51 min
This week’s guest is Garth Matthams, the writer of Witch Creek Road. This comic is yet another reason to stay out of the woods. It follows a group of kids who head out into the wilderness for a night of debauchery only to find demons and death.
Garth is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of the second issue. I’ve backed the campaign and I strongly encourage you to do the same. I got a glimpse at this new issue and it just might be scarier than the first, which is saying something. Entry level for this Kickstarter is one dollar...Canadian. I don’t even know what they use for money in Canada...Hockey pucks? That gets you the full 32 page issue as a PDF. That’s a total no-brainer for a great horror comic.
If you’re somehow still on the fence, you can check out a black-and-white version of the first issue for free on Tapas or Webtoons. Trust me though, it’s worth the dollar.
Garth can be found online at his official website, ReleasingTheSerpents.com.
I want to give a few quick updates on some stuff coming from past guests. At the time of this episode’s release, you have a few hours left to back Transdimensional #2 on Kickstarter, written by Michael Gordon who was a very early guest on the show. If you missed the Kickstarter campaign for Sink, the first issue just hit comic shops this week. That’s written by John Lees, another early guest. You may have to look hard for it because the book has been selling out all over the place. Lastly, as a reminder, Glitterbomb: The Fame Game debuts next week on September 20th, written by past guest, Jim Zub.

This week’s guest is Mark Bouchard, the writer of It Took Luke, a horror graphic novella, currently on Kickstarter. I’ve seen a few pages of this book so far and I cannot wait to check out the rest. The monsters in this thing are out of this world.
I backed this project pretty quickly and I encourage you to do the same. The campaign runs through October 28th so you still have time to back it.

101: Scott Snyder
Funny Book Splatter
08/31/20 • 33 min
What is this? A podcast? That's right, folks! Funny Book Splatter is BACK! I am your host James Ferguson. Did you miss me? I sure missed you. After a hiatus that lasted more than a year, the horror comics podcast brought to you by Horror DNA is back for more and I've got a big one for you. After being gone for that long, it would have to be something major for my return episode, right? I got a chance to speak to none other than Scott Snyder.
Sure, you know his work on Batman for stuff like Death of the Family and Court of Owls, not to mention the most recent Last Knight on Earth and Death Metal, but he's got a pretty great horror pedigree with books like Wytches, Severed (a personal favorite), and Nocterra, his new comic with artist Tony S. Daniel, coming early next year from Image Comics. Fans don't have to wait that long for this new comic though as Scott has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a special version of the first issue including side-by-side comparisons of his script and tons of behind-the-scenes content.
The Kickstarter campaign has already blown through its funding goal and is moving through stretch goals. It runs through September 17th, 2020 so there's still a good amount of time to back this project and get your hands on this special edition of Nocterra #1.

107: Phillip Sevy & Drew Zucker #2
Funny Book Splatter
11/04/21 • 44 min
Yes, it’s been awhile. I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus from comics press since June to make some comics of my own. As a quick plug, be sure to check out Nightmare Theater 2 on Kickstarter. That’s where you’ll find “Going Viral,” an 8 page short written by me, illustrated by Sonya Kinsey, and lettered by Scott Ewen. I’m excited!
This episode features the return of Phillip Sevy and Drew Zucker, the creators of The House. This incredibly creepy series began as a digital-first comic, then made the jump to print for a collected edition on Kickstarter. Now, it’s available in a new revised edition at your local comic shop through Dark Horse Comics. It’s coming to bookshops and Amazon in the next week or so.
I was an early advocate for The House so I’m really excited for Phillip and Drew as the series makes the jump to Dark Horse. If you missed out on the previous versions, you are in for a treat as this psychological horror is sure to get under your skin.
Phillip can be found online on Twitter as @PhillipSevy, on Instagram as @PhillipSevyComicArt, and at his official website, PhillipSevy.com. Drew can be found online on Twitter as @Drew_Zucker, on Instagram as @ArtOfDrewZucker, and at his official website, ArtOfDrewZucker.com.
I’m still figuring some stuff out regarding press, comics, and life, so I can’t confirm when the next episode of Funny Book Splatter will be, but thank you for keeping the show on your podcast apps and giving it a listen. It is very much appreciated.

070: Matthew Summo
Funny Book Splatter
06/08/18 • 58 min
This week’s guest is Matthew Summo, the writer of Dedication from the now defunct Double Take Studios. Matthew’s story is fascinating as he was front and center for the rise and fall of Double Take so I pick his brain about how it all went down. His work has already been featured in a recent FUBAR anthology.
Matthew can be found online at his official website, MattSummo.com and on Twitter @mattmanbegins.

084: Michael Hague
Funny Book Splatter
09/21/18 • 31 min
This week’s guest is writer / artist Michael Hague. He recently created an incredible adaptation / continuation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula called Mammon, currently available from Dark Horse Comics. Hague’s artwork is something completely unique that you won’t find anywhere else on comic shelves today. It’s a very interesting story with a number of unexpected twists and turns. Plus, there are monkey ninjas in it.

047: Vita Ayala & Emily Pearson
Funny Book Splatter
12/29/17 • 49 min
I’ve got a twofer on deck this week! My guests are Vita Ayala and Emily Pearson, the creative team behind The Wilds, set to debuts on February 28th from Black Mask Studios. It’s a crazy post-apocalyptic story where a horrifying plague has decimated the human population. I’ve only seen the first five pages and I’m already hooked.
If you want to pick up The Wilds, your best bet is to pre-order the book at your local comic shop. The final order cutoff date is January 8th, so be sure to let your shop know that you want the book before then. I probably don’t have to tell you this, but pre-orders are super important for comics so tell your shop you want this.
Emily can be found onl on Twitter and Instagram at @emishlyart. Vita can be found on Twitter @DefinitelyVita.
In other news, did you know that HorrorTalk has been doing a bunch of unboxing videos? I open up Loot Crate every month with my two kids, who are getting increasingly rowdy and out of control. My editor, Steve has been recording himself opening every other box lately. They can all be found on our YouTube channel at YouTube.com/HorrorTalk or at HorrorTalk.com/HorrorTalk-TV

093: Joey Weiser
Funny Book Splatter
03/07/19 • 40 min
This week’s guest is Joey Weiser, the creator of Ghost Hog, coming in May from Oni Press. You’re not supposed to judge books by their cover, but how can you go wrong with a title like that? This is an all-ages original graphic novel about..well...a ghost hog.
If you want to try out Ghost Hog before buying it, you can check out a completely original story in the Oni Press Free Comic Book Day issue on May 4th. Try that out, then come back on May 8th to pick up the graphic novel with entirely different material.
Joey can be found online on Twitter as @JoeyWeiser, Instagram as @JoeyWeiserComics and his official website, tragic-planet.com.

025: Ben Kahn
Funny Book Splatter
07/21/17 • 52 min
This week’s guest is writer Ben Kahn. I was first exposed to his work through the stellar graphic novel Shaman, now available through ComiXology. Ben’s latest work is Heavenly Blues, debuting on July 26th from Scout Comics. It has one of the best premises in recent memory. It’s Ocean’s Eleven...in Hell. If that doesn’t catch your attention, nothing will. Heavenly Blues works with a very unique view of the underworld that I haven’t seen before. I’ve had the pleasure of reading the first two issues and it’s definitely worth your attention. Be sure you ask for it at your local comic shop.
Ben can found online on Twitter (@BenTheKhan) and his official site, BenKahnComics.com. Be sure to check out his work on Facebook too, at Facebook.com/ShamanComic.
In other news, since this is episode #25, I think it’s time for a little celebration. In comics, issue #25 would be considered a special event. You might get a double-sized issue. Maybe a lenticular cover. Definitely collector’s item material. So to celebrate this monumental occasion, I’m holding a contest. While writing for HorrorTalk over the years, I’ve picked up a bunch of stuff that I’m not quite sure what to do with. Now, I’m going to put them in a box and send it to one of you. You’ll help me clean out my office and get a bunch of cool horror comic stuff in the process. The box will be a grabbag of sorts with at least one graphic novel, some comics, prints, buttons, and other assorted items, all related to horror comics. If you want to enter to win the prize pack, head over to the page for this episode at HorrorTalk. It can be found at HorrorTalk.com/Podcast. You’ll see a Rafflecopter there with all the details.
