GRANPA’S SCARY STORIES by D. Johnston

This first-time mini-comics creator is quite energetic, but the work is hampered by numerous typos and grammar issues, up to 8 typos in one sentence at its worst. The tale is concerned with the macabre EC-like stories of old, and even The Cthulhu is mentioned, though I didn’t detect any evidence of it in the story itself. If dialogue isn’t the creator’s forte, I will say that he is a talented artist that gets a lot of mileage out of pen and ink, with nice panel variety and camera placement. On the down side, there are some very rudimentary construction flaws with stapling, cropping, and basic page assembly. The narrative is a mélange of pedophilia, aliens, Dracula, and Shoggoth references that offer no real throughline to latch onto. Grade C-.
