...see the screemies? I see the screemies. Get to know the screemies...

The Screemies

History: The Screemies were supossedly an ordinary flock of sea gulls that were mutated by the radiation of atomic bomb tests into slightly humanoid forms. The world-conquering mastermind known as The Yellow Claw planned to use the Screemies to attack America, where they would pillage the nation's food supply to feed themselves. The Yellow Claw's plans were foiled by an American scientist who learned that the Screemies were intelligent and had their own form of primative civilization. The Screemies were taught the principles of farming so they could feed themselves, and sent to the Yellow Claw's secret island to establish their own society.

Wingspan: 36 in.
Demonstrated Powers: The Screemies had a slightly humanoid appearance (having arms and legs along with their wings) and a primative intelligence.

Comment: Speculation - Rather than being a random accident, the Screemies mutation could have been the result of an early experiment by The High Evolutionary (introduced in Thor # 134), a scientist who had a history of transforming ordinary animals into human-like forms.

The Myriad - A CLEAN SHOT

Maybe We're the Monsters

Ron Mueck is an Australian hyper-realist sculptor working in the UK. His incredible sculptures of creepy, grotesque, mottled skin and uncannily gigantic proportional figures have adorned the Millennium Dome as well as Charles Saatchi’s living room for a number of years now. It would be fair to say, Mueck’s one of the leading contemporary artists of today...It’s the attention to detail, technical brilliance and the (odd) scale of his figures that takes your breath away. His work, while proportionally correct, is either over or under-sized. For example, an enormous 4.5m crouching Boy, a 3 ft tall naked man, a 20 ft long newborn, a replica of his own head (seen above) 6 times its actual size. Consequently his hyper-realistic sculptures, while extraordinarily lifelike, challenge us by their odd scale. The “psychological confrontation for the viewer is to recognize and assimilate two contradictory realities”.

Boris Karloff

White/Black Charcoal

The legendary actor who gave life and personality to many monsters and roles in the early cinima horror film days. Karloff brought on-screen monsters into new light in his most memorable role as the Monster in the 1931 version of Frankenstein. Lon Chaney Sr, Lon Chaney Jr, Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, Max Schreck, and Boris Karloff are considered to be the GodFathers of Horror films, it seemed only right to title this piece: 'The King of Horror'

Jonny Fu

A simple concept turned into a mammoth endeavor. Jonny Fu is a fascinating enigma created from a fusion of graphic design, illustration and animation, and street art. One of the creators masterminding Jonny Fu: Ron Jonzo.


Who is this mysterious Jonny Fu - character then?

He is a kind of retired super agent, who used to work for the government. He’s more like a fallen hero. His mind is a bit twisted also he has a pornographic past which catches up with him eventually. The whole thing is not ment to be for kids basically.
