“Try Honesty” - Page 1 (of 8)

November 17th, 2008

Hey all!

There’s a bit of a funny story behind this installment of NIGHTMARE WORLD…

This is actually the *second* story in the series illustrated by Mark Matlock… the first being “Enjoy the Silence,” which you’ll see down the road a bit.

By the time Mark had completed “Enjoy the Silence” we had a very good working relationship together and he expressed interest in doing another story together.

Anxious to work with him again I immediately sat down and banged-out the script to “Try Honesty”… making it one of the only scripts in the history of the series that I completed in literally one sitting.

This one just fell out of me… it was crazy.

Well, when I came out of my shamanistic state of writing I e-mailed Mark to tell him that I had written another script for him — one tailored specifically and excleusively to him and his strengths — but that I wasn’t sure if he’d like it…

I really want to say more about why and how — but I’m afraid that it will give away too much of the story, so I’ll save the second half of this “Behind the Scenes” story for the Blog post that will accompany Page Eight, deal?

Until then, enjoy the story. The version before you — fully colored by Mark Matlock himself — has never been seen online before now! Huzzah!

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

“Try Honesty” - Cover

November 16th, 2008

Hey all!

So far NIGHTMARE WORLD has featured Cthulhu (twice), Irish Folklore, a vengeful zombie and even a slasher-film parody… so how about we now take a coffee break with a New Orleans police officer with a secret he feels the need to get off his chest, shall we?

Try Honesty
Written by Dirk Manning
Fully Illustrated by Mark Matlock
Lettered by Jim Reddington

Also, remember that you can click any of the “Sunday” updates on the calendar in the top right corner (dating as far back as October 2008) to get links to the covers (and beginning) of each previous story… just like this:

NIGHTMARE WORLD: “You Oughta Know”
NIGHTMARE WORLD: “The Same Deep Water As You”
NIGHTMARE WORLD: “Disasterpiece”
NIGHTMARE WORLD: “Momma’s Boy”
NIGHTMARE WORLD: “Knee Deep in the Dead”
NIGHTMARE WORLD: “Not For You”

Finally, please remember that we LOVE comments. After all, it’s the only way we can tell if you guys are diggin’ what you’re reading, right?

Considering this, be sure to comment often, ya’ hear?

Thanks all, and enjoy the coffee at Aaron’s Cafe… because it just might be your last!

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

“Not For You” - Page 5 (of 8)

November 10th, 2008

Hey all!

I’m sorry for the lack of “Blog” posting last week… but Halloween is always a pretty busy time of the year for ol’ Dirk Manning, and as a result I just needed a few days to recover.

But… I’m back.

I hope you’re all enjoying “Not For You” thus far. As is the case with just about all of the NIGHTMARE WORLD stories, this one does indeed have some strong implications on certain aspects of “the big picture” as we go along… so pay attention and take notes.

Heck, as of this page you should now be saying to yourselves “Hey… I’ve seen these two crazy kids earlier in the series, haven’t I?”

To which Dirk Manning would say “Yes! Yes you have!”

That being said… let’s see what fate — and a little fairy named Arkelina — has in store for these two lovers, shall we?

Go back to sleep!

“Not For You” - Cover

November 2nd, 2008

Hey all!

For Chapter Six of NIGHTMARE WORLD I decided to go with a modern day “fairy tale” of sorts…

NOT FOR YOU
Written by Dirk Manning
Illustrated by Kristen Perry
Colored by Jamie Jones
Lettered by Jim Reddington

Don’t forget that — thanks to our new Webcomics Editor Ben Paddon — we now have a handy-dandy calendar up at the top right of the page which you can use for easier navigation of past installments you may have missed!

Also, click any of the “Sunday” installments (as of October 2008) to get posts that link to the beginning of each previous story… just like this:

NIGHTMARE WORLD: “You Oughta Know”
NIGHTMARE WORLD: “The Same Deep Water As You”
NIGHTMARE WORLD: “Disasterpiece”
NIGHTMARE WORLD: “Momma’s Boy”
NIGHTMARE WORLD: “Knee Deep in the Dead”

Finally, in case you missed it, we posted a special one-page NIGHTMARE WORLD tale o’ terror on the 31st… so make sure to check that out of you missed it!

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

“I Miss You” (A little Halloween treat for my loyal fans…)

October 31st, 2008

Hey all!

Here’s a little one-page story for you by myself and Jeff Welborne (pencils) with Bradd Mielke (inks) and Jim Reddington (letters).

For the record, to this very day I still consider this one of the single scariest stories I’ve ever written.

Ever.

Enjoy… and Happy Halloween! Hopefully Josh (”Disasterpiece”) Ross and I will see some of you guys and gals at Vault of Midnight in Ann Arbor, Michigan tonight!

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning
