Cain, Abel, Swampy House-o-Secrets2

Description

This is my second entry/attempt at the Scribblenauts contest. One guilty pleasure of my comic book reading was what I call the "Horror Comics". Not really horror or scary, but kinda fun. And plenty of interesting artists worked this genre for DC. The House is actually one of the characters! (I couldn't find a reference for the house, so I just used a generic haunted house.) And the Swamp Thing is an alumnus of the H of S.
I added the names because I really like working with type. "Swamp Thing" and "House of Secrets" are re-creations of favorite logos, and "Cain and Abel" are there just because I labeled the House and Swampy. I don't think they had logos.
Done mostly in Freehand MX, exported to Adobe Photoshop to add some shading to the stones, more haze and graininess to the ground.

   Thanks! I really enjoyed the DC horror comics. They were kinda campy and never frightening, but Many creators got their start... or probably just had fun doing something other than the standard super hero fare.
  I noticed that Swamp Thing was in the trailer, so maybe they will have a level where Maxwell enters a "spooky" area.
   I also did a "war comics" version, but haven't entered it (yet). Just used Sgt. Rock, the Haunted Tank and... Enemy Ace!
