2009 TREEHOUSE OF HORROR ISSUE

Last year's issue of the Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror issue featured Nina Matsumoto's parody of Death Note, along with comics by Glenn Fabry and Gilbert Hernandez.

This year's issue is coming out on 9/23/09, and was guest-edited by Sammy Harkham. It's insane and packed full of PictureBox/Buenaventura comics people (including folks in Electric Ant #2: Jon Vermilyea & Ted May). Check out this cover by Dan Zettwoch, and panel from Jon Vermilyea's comic:

What the hell is up with having no female cartoonists though? That seems kinda bullshit to me.

I went to the Bongo panel at Comic-Con last Thursday, and saw Sammy Harkham talk about this :] Saw lots of slides too. The comics I am most excited to read in full are those by Ben Jones and CF... they look as horrifying as you can imagine.

Didn't occur to me about the lack of female cartoonists though? The treehouse is no girls allowed? :/ Would've asked Sammy if I'd realized it at the panel, then again that might have made him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

@mickey: yr right, they should take that eisner back from nina matsumoto for her 2008 treehouse comic! unless she menstruated on it already (oh god, just kidding!)

@Sophia: I'm stoked to see it.. I guess this all came out of Sammy and Matt Groening hanging out at Kramer's 7 signings last fall? I'm most interested in Jon and Ted's but the whole lot seems rad.

Yeah, i mentioned in on his blog post about this, over his site. What's wrong with making him incredibly uncomfortable? It seems dumb to not think to ask a single lady artist!

Last July I launched the e-zine titled The Horror Zine. The mission of The Horror Zine is to publish and to promote struggling writers, poets, and artists. However, the zine has taken off so well that I am able to also attract well known writers such as Ramsey Campbell, Simon Clark, Joe R. Lansdale, and Trevor Denyer. The Horror Zine is accepting submissions of fiction, poetry, and art from morbidly creative people. I was wondering if you would help me spread the word to your readers about The Horror Zine.
Thanks,
Jeani Rector, Editor
