The Amazing Screw On Head

The Amazing Screw On Head was a comic book done by Mike Mignola who some dorks out there may know as the creator of Hellboy. There was only one issue published by Dark Horse Comics in 2002. The comic followed a robot head with interchangeable bodies who works for Abraham Lincoln fighting the evil Emperor Zombie. An animated version of the comic was made and screened online by the Sci-Fi Channel in 2006 (Bryan Fuller exec-produced). Among other things it includes Paul Giamatti as the Amazing Screw On Head, David Hyde Pierce as Emperor Zombie and Molly Shannon as Patience, his vampire lover (zombies AND vampires - nice). Zany zombie-related animated comedy. Good stuff. Bet you didn't know that that's how the Homestead Act came about did you. Ha!

p.s. This artist that was indirectly linked to Dr.McNinja did a drawing of Emperor Zombie and posted it on her blog here; she used to have a series of pictures on there that I really liked featuring a devil character but they aren't on the interweb anymore (although I think one of them is under the art tab here).
