Suplexes & Scares: Inside 'Mad Dog Morgan' with Adam Lawson
Manage episode 509449972 series 2797254
A fallen indie wrestler enters a haunted house to drink away his life and discovers his real main event—battling a sentient home that feeds on lost souls and reclaiming his own. Adam Lawson walks us through the art, the heart, and the Kickstarter built for collectors.
• Mad Dog Morgan’s premise of wrestling colliding with a haunted house
• Themes of failure, addiction, and redemption driving the narrative
• Why horror is Lawson’s favorite arena for human drama
• Real-world sparks from wrestling history and pop culture influences
• Visual language that blends bold wrestling color with horror shadow
• Maxi Dall'o's expressive eyes and manga-informed emotion on the page
• The bloodied mask as the tonal key to the series’ identity
• Wrestling and horror’s shared renaissance and fan overlap
• Campaign details: exclusive variant hardcover slipcase and foil print
