COMIC: Joe Bivins: Man Genius in "Vampires at Ford's Theatre"

In the Spring of 2008, I set about planning a new long form adventure comic version of Hilarious Autobiographickal Internet Comic, having already experimented with a heavier format for the last two HAIC's, Mirror'd and I'm Dreaming of a Red Christmas. The first story I wrote for this version, and the first comic script I ever wrote not in a comic strip format, was Vampires at Ford's Theatre.

Well, shit happens and I didn't get around to really properly starting the new version of HAIC, now called Joe Bivins: Man Genius, until December 2009 (after a false start in December 2008). So the first two stories ended up being the 2008 and 2009 Christmas specials. But finally, after two and a half months of getting those out, in Spring of 2010 I got around to VAFT.

So in Spring of 2008 I wrote a vampire story, then later that year the first Twilight movie came out and vampires now reside in a much more annoying place in popular culture. I took this into account and had to adjust my old script to involve more Twilight-esque vampires. For the record, I haven't seen either of those movies and only did a tiny bit of research, just enough to figure out that my sparkly vampires didn't make any sense in Twilight continuity, but screw it, it's still funny.

So this effects-heavy issue has an absolute SHIT TON of bonus pictures. We'll see if Photobucket will even HOLD them all: (Click to enlarge. Spoileros estan aqui.)
