Mini-comic: The Infernal Organ

When I created this comic book in November, 1990, I wanted to make something that felt like the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen. I was also inspired by the stream-of-consciousness stories that comic book master  John Stanley  created in his  Little Lulu  stories when Lulu makes up stories to keep Alvin out of trouble. My own story took a darker turn than my inspirations. It was all intuitively created.  The story was totally spontaneous, and found its own form. I am a little uncomfortable with the horrific imagery, but it was the song in my heart that day, and I am glad that I honored it. This was my first comic book work after taking a 3,000 honeymoon bicycle ride with Susan. I remember feeling very focused and powerful. Staying at a temporary home in the isolated hills of Pennsylvania and having no money, I only had a blue-ink ball point pen and a black felt-tip marker available to draw with. I figured it would make little difference
