/0 Comments/in , /by

Horror News Network is proud to announce that Cullen Bunn is the 2018 Horror Comic Award’s writer of the year.

Bunn is a two-time award winner in this category (he last won in 2016) and almost every article about the writer on the Horror News Network website mentions one word in association with him: prolific.  Bunn kept to his incredibly busy schedule this year, turning out the most horror comics of any other current writer in the medium.  Bunn’s body of work for 2018 included finishing his beloved Harrow County (which won HNN’s Best Series Award in 2015) for Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics ghostly mini-series Cold Spots and the terrifying past-lives on-going series Regression, Dynamite’s Pumpkinhead and Vampirella vs. Reanimator, Boom Studio’s Empty Man and Bone Parish, AfterShock’s  Dark Ark and Brothers Dracul, Oni’s Shadow Roads and Damned, and in his spare time, Asgardians of the Galaxy, Venomized, X-Men Blue, Deadpool Assassin, and Vault of Spiders for Marvel. read more

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hitting the stores next week from Dynamite Entertainment is the first issue of the new Pumpkinhead mini-series written by Cullen Bunn. Bunn, the recipient of the 2016 Horror Comic Award for Writer of the Year, crafts a story that fits perfectly into the Pumpkinhead universe. Bunn weaves a clever story that could make for an interesting sequel for the film franchise.

For thirty years the demon has remained quiet, but after a reckless driver kills a pair of children, the monster returns for vengeance.  In this adaptation, Bunn provides adequate enemies for Pumpkinhead, as he squares off against a backwoods crime syndicate protecting the driver. A short backup story featuring the witch, Haggis, also appears at the end of the book. read more

Today Dynamite Comics announced it will be bringing horror classic Pumpkinhead to the comic world. The series will be penned by one of the hardest working man in comics at the moment, Cullen Bunn, known for his work on fan favorites Harrow County, Regression, Hellheim, and Deadpool.  On his website earlier today, Bunn wrote: “I’ll admit, when I heard that Dynamite had acquired the rights to do this book, I immediately contacted them asking to pitch for the series. Good ol’ Pumpkinhead may be my favorite movie monster, and I’ve always had the urge to add my own spin to his story.” read more

Cullen Bunn is one of the busiest comic writers in the world today. His work has been seen literally everywhere including huge titles like X-Men, Captain America and Star Wars. Working on those high profile comics haven’t stopped him from doing what he truly loves though, horror.

We caught up with writer, Cullen Bunn to talk about his new series from BOOM! Studios, The Unsound.

Horror News Network: Can you talk a bit about how you came up with the concept for The Unsound?

Cullen Bunn: I think it is fairly obvious if you read a lot of my work that sanity (or the loss of sanity) is something that I’ve always been fascinated and terrified by. I live in mortal terror of losing my own mental faculties. When I first started brainstorming this book, I wanted to explore the idea of a deepening madness under the auspices of a haunted house story. Over time, the “house” became a mental hospital. read more

Before Stan Lee and Jack Kirby released Fantastic Four #1 in November of 1961, which ushered in the “Marvel Age of Comics”, Marvel was most famous for their plethora of giant monster titles which began in the mid-1950’s and continued into the early 1970’s.  Most of these city crushing creatures graced titles such as Strange Worlds, Strange Tales, Amazing Adventures, Tales of Suspense and Tales to Astonish.  Although these titles would soon feature house-hold names such as Captain America, Iron Man, and the Hulk,  they were once the domain of the sci-fi monsters of the 50’s. read more
