Martha Splatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told (Monster Comics 1992)
Martha Splatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told (Monster Comics 1992)- Wow!!! Who would have guessed that the "splatter rock" band The Accused had a comic about their favorite character- Martha Splatterhead?!!!! This underground publication features artwork by: XNO, Mary Woodring, R.K. Sloane, Box X, Dennis Worden, some dude with a weird pyramid symbol for a name, Michael Dowers, Jeff Gaither, Stevo Winters, Jim Blanchard, Mary Fleener and Peter Bagge!! The comic also includes a flexi-disc record with a single of "Straight Razor (Going for the Throat)"!!!! R.K. Sloane and Jeff Gaither have the greatest quantity of art in the comic which is good since Uncle Jack considers them to be the best artists of the bunch!!! The two did the art for a two page spread of Accused logo concepts which is featured in the book, as well as a radical two page spread of "Martha's House of Horrors" (see below)- awesome and strange, psychedelic-gore artwork!!!!! Martha's House of Horrors is the only really cool piece of work in this comic!! Most of the stories (all of which are about Martha) are pretty dumb and fail to be funny like they are supposed to be!!! Decent underground art from underground artists, just dumb stories! Once again, why is it so hard for comic artists to write good stories?!!! If you are going to spend your time drawing a comic shouldn't it be non-dumb?!! A short interview with the band is in the comic! Apparently it took 3 years for this comic to materialize after the members of The Accused came up with the idea!!! Uncle Jack has not researched whether any more Martha Splatterhead comics were made, however, considering that it took 3 years for the first issue to come out and the band only released one more album after the comic's release, it is doubtful they they were together for long enough for another comic to be made!!!!! An interesting relic for fans of The Accused, too bad the stories just aren't good!!
An example of one of the crappier stories from Martha Splatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told!
R.K. Sloane and Jeff Gaither's "Martha's House of Horrors"!!!
