Go, Look: Del Close Skull Comics

imageWhen ComicMix re-launched with a bunch of web comics to present in addition to their commentary and newsblogging features, I have to say the last thing I expected to see right away was a Skip Williamson-drawn science fiction comic book written by John Ostrander featuring as its lead the skull of the late Chicago improv legend Del Close. In a move that some of you might remember was borrowed and then folded into the Canadian television series Slings and Arrows as a humorous sub-plot, when Close died in 1999 he left his skull to Chicago's Goodman Theatre. As the joke repeated in that mini-profile goes, this is the only way one gets to play the part of Yorick in Hamlet. Re-launching Munden's Bar seems to be a bonus.
