ELVIRA NEWS!
10/9
Well, thanks to our talented (and patient) webmaster, Thom Zahler, I–Richard–have once again rediscovered the process through which I can post chatter, ramblings, and information to my own Editor’s Corner. So, without further ado…here’s an
ELVIRA UPDATE!
For all of you out there who’re missing our regular monthly ELVIRA comic book series (that grouping definitely includes me, Frank Strom, Ronn Sutton, Tod Smith, etc.) there’s a new ELVIRA TV series debuting at the end of this very week. It’s called “The Search for the New Elvira,” and should be a lot of fun. It’s being carried by the Fox Reality Channel, first showing at midnight on Saturday 10/12 and is based on the concept that Elvira and some of her cohorts will be involved in choosing the next Mistress of the Dark.
(I remember suggesting a gambit along these lines to Elvira’s then-manager Mark Pierson; the gist being based on the matriarchal magic triad and that eventually Elvira would be “promoted” from Mistress of the Dark to Queen of the Night and there’d be a need for a new Mistress of the Dark, whom Elvira would train. I expect that the new TV series is much less academic and more fun, with the patented ELVIRA “spin.”)
Anyway, the patented ELVIRA “spin” will–as it always is–very much on view in any effort featuring Elvira herself. Every fan of hers–and of her much-missed Claypool comic–is encouraged to tune in.
