‘Neon Joe’ is a Werewolf Comedy Now Airing on Adult Swim
Suck it, vampires. Take a seat, walkers. “Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter” is coming. HE-YUMP!
Completely under the radar is “Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter,” a new horror comedy that’s been airing as a special all week long on Adult Swim.
“Neon Joe” was created by and stars Jon Glaser, who was also behind the hilarious “Delocated.”
Set in the pretend sleepy enclave of Garrity, Vermont, “Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter” is the story of a neon-clad man with a mysterious past and a highly specialized skill set – hunting werewolves.
The first two episodes have already aired, but can be caught on various On Demand platforms.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
