The House Of Daemon
"The House of Daemon" is a British comic strip, appearing in titles published by IPC Magazines. The story was published in the anthology ''Eagle'' from 11 September 1982 to 12 February 1983, written by John Wagner and Alan Grant, with art by José Ortiz. The story followed couple Elliot and Cassandra Aldrich, who moved into a new home - only to find it is haunted by a demonic being. Creation Grant had never written a horror comic before, and was not a fan of the genre. He would reflect that "those kinds of magical concepts are often rather too easy to write. If you've got a problem you can just think of some magic to get yourself out of it." Publishing history Wagner and Grant were occasionally asked to adjust their scripts for the serial when they were considered too scary, leading to some rewrites. The story ran between 11 September and 12 February 1983. In 1998, the rights to the strips created for ''Eagle'' – including "House of Daemon" – were purchased from Egmont ...

Eagle (1982 Comic)
''Eagle'', sometimes referred to as ''The New Eagle'' and known at various points in its life as ''Eagle and Scream!'', ''Eagle and Tiger'', ''Eagle and Battle'', ''Eagle and M.A.S.K.'' and ''Eagle and Wildcat'', was a British boys' adventure comic published by IPC Magazines from 27 March 1982 to January 1994. A revival of the famous ''Eagle'', the title was initially a weekly publication until turning into a monthly in May 1991. The title was finally cancelled in January 1994, after 505 issues. Like the original Eagle, the comic's lead feature was Dan Dare; other long-running stories included "Doomlord" and " Computer Warrior". While the comic was successful on its own terms as the British comic market contracted heavily in the 1980s and 1990s, it never matched the commercial or critical success of its illustrious predecessor. Creation Originally launched in 1950 by Reverend Marcus Morris as a reaction to the controversial importation of American horror comics (a genre whic ...

Haunted House
A haunted house, spook house or ghost house in ghostlore is a house or other building often perceived as being inhabited by disembodied spirits of the deceased who may have been former residents or were otherwise connected with the property. Parapsychologists often attribute haunting to the spirits of the dead who have suffered from violent or tragic events in the building's past such as murder, accidental death, or suicide. In a majority of cases, upon scientific investigation, alternative causes to supernatural phenomenon are found to be at fault, such as hoaxes, environmental effects, hallucinations or confirmation biases. Common symptoms of hauntings, like cold spots and creaking or knocking sounds, can be found in most homes regardless of suspected paranormal presences. People are more likely to experience a haunting when they are about to fall asleep, when waking, if they are intoxicated or sleep-deprived. Carbon monoxide poisoning has been cited as a cause of su ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Textual devices such as speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia can indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information. There is no consensus amongst theorists and historians on a definition of comics; some emphasize the combination of images and text, some sequentiality or other image relations, and others historical aspects such as mass reproduction or the use of recurring characters.
