Back when I was growing up in Brazil, I used to read a lot of horror comics by the defunct Taika publisher.They were so scary that I had to hide them so I would not glance at their covers at night and have nightmares. Like the lovely over to the left. One real cool thing about them was that unlike American comics, they were not subjected to the Comics Code. They had a level of gore and scariness that was even beyond the stuff EC comics used to print and brought on the comics code.After moving to the US I was a big fan of Creepy & Eerie magazines. I also used to love watching old Hammer movies re-runs on TV.

Later I graduated to reading E.A. Poe, Lovecraft and then Stephen King, Clive Barker and Niel Gaiman, pretty much in that order. And then one day, while cruising YouTube at work for something to listen to while I coded, I ran into Russian Sleep Experiment, and that brought me here. Damn, I'm Brazilian and never heard of this comic book before. I guess I was born too late. I wish I could have interest in creepy stuff this early. I'm still a teenager, and I still can't stand reading most horror stories.
