I bid you… welcome... to Creator Talks 2020 Halloween Special! 

My special guest is Kerry Gammill, perhaps best known for his illustration of Power Man and Iron Fist and Superman comics in the 1980s and 1990s.

We start our conversion discussing the comic legends’ work he admired as a youth and the conversations he later had as an adult with Jack Kirby and John Buscema.

Kerry reveals why he decided it was time to move on from comics and work as a special effects concept designer and storyboard artist for television and film.

Learn which television project was Kerry’s favorite and why.

Kerry is also a big fan of classic Universal Horror movies.  

Growing up in Texas in the 1950s he would catch them on television and Saturday evenings watch his favorite local horror show Nightmare Theater hosted by Bill Camfield as Gorgon. 

We discuss why Kerry thought Gorgon was the one of best horror show hosts ever.

Did you know Kerry has written and illustrated several horror works since leaving the world of monthly comics?

Learn about his book with J. David Spurlock The Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos and why Basil did not want one of his illustrations included in the book.

Kerry also took a stab his own comic series in the spirit of the now classic Creepy and Eerie black and white horror magazines titled Bela Lugosi’s Tales from the Grave, which ran four issues and is available on Comixology.

His latest work is Bram Stoker’s Dracula Starring Bela Lugosi, which he served as art director and is illustrated by El Garing. 

Find out Kerry’s role as art director on Dracula then Kick Back With the Creator as I ask Kerry’s the fun questions I ask all my guests plus a few other surprises.
