Ziggy Stardust which was inspired by the rise and fall of Vince Taylor   The real Ziggy Stardust David Bowie's classic album Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars introduced the world to glam rock and brought the struggling musician David Bowie to the world.  This album has many classic songs which still resonate with pop culture and the youth of today, even though it was released in the early seventies.  A potent brew of songs, ambiguous sexuality, performance, and space age moxie which rock is still using a goal post for popular culture. Few realize that the character of Ziggy was actually based on an obscure rock and roll singer Vince Taylor.  Modelling his singing and style after early Elvis Presley and Gene Vincent, Vince Taylor took the UK by storm.  By the mid sixties Vince grew erratic and his performances would have references to UFO's, aliens, and whatever passions consumed Vince.  He committed career suicide by declaring ...

Picture the weirdness of Twin Peaks mixed with your favorite horror movie in comic form...that's what we do. David M. Brown What brought you into comics?   I've been into comics since I was a kid. The first book I ever picked up was an issue of 'The Punisher'. I was an odd little kid and I think I was drawn to that big white skull. He's still my favorite comic character! Comics, to me, are simply the best way to present stories. Both visual and mental simultaneously. There is not...
