This October: El Santo vs. The Vampire Women

My namesake, the legendary luchador El Santo — a.k.a. Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, a.k.a. el Enmascarado de Plata, a.k.a. Samson — made himself world famous by taking on not only world class wrestlers like Blue Demon and Gory Guerrero, but also a wide assortment of colorful yet malevolent foes whose talents lay beyond those required in the squared circle and into the realms of the criminal underworld, the supernatural, the otherworldly, and karate expertise.

The Webcomic Overlook #98: Gunshow

News from SPX (Small Press Expo)

SPX took place this weekend in beautiful Bethesda, MD, and webcomics were there … apparently in full force. Here are a couple of snippets I discovered courtesy of The Beat.

First off, some observations from Johanna Draper Carlson:

Seattle Types: Meet Tony Millionaire and Chris Onstad

PW Beat reports that Tony Millionaire (Sock Monkey) and Chris Onstad (Achewood) are visiting your favorite comic shop in the Northwest! Apparently the dudes already hit Portland two days ago.

TV respects me. It laughs with me… not at me!

Despite Liam Lynch’s claims to the contrary, internet has not killed the video star. Not yet, anyway. Like most of America, I’ve spent the whole week watching the premieres of the new TV season. Frankly, I was getting fatigued after Criminal Minds last night, but I will persevere! Especially since Community and Parks & Recreation are on tonight. Oh, yeah, also new Smallville, where I’ll be kneeling before Zod.

From time to time, one of you lovely and well-intentioned readers inadvertently asks, “El Santo, why don’t do make your own webcomic, you vitriolic nincompoop?”

And I respond, quite politely, “Because. That’s why.”

Allison’s got a case of Bad Machinery

As Scary Go Round ends, a new era begins. An era … of Bad Machinery.

It looks so far to be a continuation of John Allison’s prep school stuff from his SGR days. Of course, given the leaps and bounds that SGR itself went through since its inception, who knows where Bad Machinery is going to end up.

Soooo… what do you think the odds are that Shelley Winters is going to show up before a year is over?
