Tales of the TMNT v.2 #63 peek // LOVELAND FROGMAN peers.. pencils Lawson, Inks by Lavigne (( October 2009 ))

” The first sighting of the Loveland frogman was in May 1955 by a local businessman. While driving home for the evening he saw three, four foot tall frog-faced creatures squatting near a bridge. One of the creatures held what seemed to be a metal rod in it’s hand that threw sparks at it’s tip. He immediately drove away to report what he had seen.

Then again in 1972, a Loveland, Ohio police officer was patrolling at dawn and reported seeing something in the middle of the road. As he neared , a creature lept up and jumped over a guardrail, fleeing down an embankment it dove into the Miami River. The officer described the creature as being 3 or 4 feet tall, with wet, clammy skin and a face like a frog. He and another officer returned later that day but all they found were scrape marks going down the hill and into the river.

The second sighting occurred two weeks later when another police officer was driving into Loveland and saw a creature in the road. As he approached, it suddenly stood up on two legs. The officer, shocked at the creature’s appearance, pulled his gun and fired at it but the frog man escaped over a guardrail and vanished into a marshy area.

The policeman’s description matched that of the first officer.

Later that year a farmer reported sighting 4 strange creatures in his field by a river. He came upon them while inspecting his crops. He noted their wide mouths filled with sharp teeth, big round eyes and pale greenish grey skin. As he turned to run he said the 4 foot tall creatures jumped into the river and disappeared.”

“MAGGOT MAN” design by S.R. Bisstette & Ryan Brown (( 1989 )) [[ Courtesy of SRB ]]

” Hey, look what I found this weekend! This is a blast from my checkered past, a 20-year-old monster movie design for a movie that was never made.
Back in early August, TMNT fan, Myrant reader and artist in his own right tOkKa wrote my old Mirage Studios friend Ryan Brown, asking about one of the many snapping turtle monster designs I’ve posted on Myrant this year.
Ryan recalled, “My memory is sketchy about this but… The proposed film Steve mentions was by my friend Jon Killough (Skinned Alive, 1990; Robot Ninja, 1989; The Dead Next Door, 1989)…”

Ryan continued, “I was asked by Jon to create a mutant leech monster for the never-produced flick and I mentioned to Jon that I might be able to get Steve Bissette to design for the film.”
Ryan indeed got a design sketch or two from me — and it’s the best of ‘em I’ve put on sale here today.
Ryan adds, “Jon had worked on The Dead Next Door (1989) and was proceeding with new film projects with his friend J.R. Bookwalter. In mid-1985 Sam Raimi put up some money for Jon’s 19-year-old friend J.R. Bookwalter to film The Dead Next Door. Bookwalter shot the film in Akron, Ohio during the summer of 1986 with area residents playing zombies. Fangoria wrote about the film in the March, 1987 issue. Jon was involved heavily with this film.”

But Maggot Man was never made, to the best of Ryan’s and my knowledge.
Thanks to tOkKa’s email, though, I got to thinking about that project and just this past Sunday turned up this wormboy. Thanks, tOkKa and Ryan, for reminding me of that which was long forgotten!
Just to be clear, my Maggot Man sketch is what’s for sale here; I’ve included a scan from the photocopy I kept of Ryan’s sketch for historical purposes only (I am not selling Ryan’s artwork, folks).
This uber-rare Maggot Man sketch is huge — the original measures 14″ x 22″, drawn with black pen and marker, some pencil underdrawing is visible; it’s on 2-ply board that is slightly discolored with age around the edges with a very minor 1/4″ tear at the bottom, center. This is vintage work, and goes for $135 plus shipping — first to email me at msbissette@yahoo.com can forever gaze upon this maggot, man.
Per usual, first Myrant price is forever the best price — in a day or two, I’ll be taking this off its Myrant debut slot and moving it to the sketchstore archives and Comic Art Fans Gallery at a higher price.

**2009 sketches and much vintage art can be snapped up 24 hours a day in the Sketch Store section (click this link), which offers a monstrous menagerie of still-for-sale Bissette sketches — Swamp Thing, Godzilla, Tyrant, Constantine, Vermonsters and many published original art rarities — for your pleasure.

***All 2009 sketches, sold and unsold, are archived in the Sketch Gallery, free viewing at all times, enjoy the show. “– SRB
