Not enough time for a new Halloween drawing this year, but here's this sweet pumpkin I made for a contest at work!
Jack o lantern with rolled up eyes and many layers of teeth made out of white clay. Fake blood is all over its mouth.

This one always bothered me a little since it could have used a bit more detail, but I still say ending this series with an actual Halloween themed cover is the only way to go. Anyway, Happy Halloween to you all and please be safe out there 👍

Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #31: when humanity fails to overcome their fears on Halloween, higher forces will take matters into their own hands... Night of the Living Halloween Decorations! featuring: Clara, Pepito's mom, Pepito's dad Pepito and his friends are battling possessed Halloween decorations that are wreaking havok across the neighborhood

The Craft has always been a 90's Halloween staple, so of course I had to spoof it 😄. This cover still looks pretty badass to this day in my opinion. Also, the character on the right is someone I wasn't supposed to reveal this early, but she's gonna be in the main comic.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #30: A story of friendship, witchcraft, and murderous revenge... The witches of Ruben Salazar High School! featuring: Pepito, Juan, and Pepito's dad Clara, Lupe, and a previously unannounced character, Ashley, are walking down a school hallway dressed in goth clothing

another lore fact: Lupe's a huge metal-head, so drawing that Iron Maiden shirt on her wasn't just for show 😎

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #29: She outgrew her dolls, but her dolls never outgrew her! featuring: Pepito, Juan, and Clara Lupe is standing in a doorway defensively with a baseball bat while an assortment of possessed dolls are getting ready to attack her in the darkness.

Knowing what we know in 2025, this is kinda weird for me to look at now😅. The concept of the cover still rules, tho.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #28: In this issue... The Devil went down to EVO! featuring: Juan, Lupe, and Clara Pepito and the devil are facing off in the EVO fighting game tournament

I still like how the vtuber design came out despite how quickly I managed to come up with it. The chat dialogue on the other hand sounds kinda corny looking back at it, so that's the only thing I would redo 😄

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #27: A rumor exists about a secret vtuber found on the dark web named Shikei Chan, but instead of streaming video games, she streams live executions! featuring: Juan, Lupe, and Clara An illegal vtuber stream is being broadcasted on the dark web where a vtuber dressed in execution themed clothing is preparing to execute Pepito who is trapped in a contraption designed to twist his limbs

This was born out of the dumbest joke that ever came out of my brain.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #26: Not for the faint of heart, not for those with weak stomachs, only a few have the guts to survive...The Literal Living Room! featuring: Juan, Lupe, and Clara Pepito and his family are being consumed by a living room made out of organs

Basically made this thinking "what if Splatterhouse, but Latino?". Yet another one of my personal faves, btw.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #25: next time someone offers you a cursed lucha libre mask that won't stop giving you muscle mass until you literally pop, hit the gym instead! featuring: Pepito, Lupe, and Clara Juan, donning a red wrestling mask, is undergoing a transformation that greatly increases his muscle mass to fatal levels while red tendrils are growing from the mask itself and inserting into Juan's body.

If I could do this one all over again, I would have made the creature alot more disturbing 😄

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #24: It has four mouths and it must scream! featuring: Pepito, Lupe, and Juan A horrific algamation of Pepito, Juan, Lupe, and Clara breaks out of a lab

Another fun one I enjoyed making. Pretty much the only cover in the collection where Pepito's dad gets the spotlight. And fun fact: the tree is basically a fusion between the Human Face Tree from Castlevania and a Living Forest tree from Mortal Kombat if it wasn't obvious.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Bariio #23: Many botanic horrors await you... In the Garden of Evil! featuring: Pepito, Pepito's mom, and Juan Pepito's dad fights his way through a garden filled with demonic looking sentient plants and trees with a simple axe

I still like the layout and composition on this one. One of the coolest looking ones I've done in my personal opinion.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #22: A shocking tale of demonic possession! Can enough courage and faith be summoned to evict this unholy squatter? featuring: Pepito, Lupe, and Juan Pepito is holding a crucifix while trying to ward off a demon possessing Clara as the room descends into chaos

Another fun one I enjoyed making. The idea is so simple and dumb that it always brings a smile to my face every time I look at it 😄

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #21: Stronger than any kaiju! More ultra than any man! Can South Central Los Angeles be saved from this nuclear-powered duo? featuring: Lupe, Clara, and Pepito's mom A giant Pepito and Juan are wreaking havoc across the city. Juan is roaring and Pepito shoots lasers out of his eyes.

I remember spending so much time on Werewolf Lupe that I basically dropped the ball really hard on the background simply because I ran out of time. The huge contrast between the high detail of the subject and the super crappy background has always been hilarious to me 😄

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #20: in this issue... The girl who cried werewolf! featuring: Pepito, Juan, and Clara Lupe has turned into a werewolf and is staring in the distance while the moon is full

If there was one cover that I personally liked the least, it would probably be this one. I still think the idea is pretty awesome, but it's one of those "the more I look at it, the more flaws I see" sort of deals.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #19: In this issue... Pepito the chupacabra hunter! featuring: Juan, Lupe, and Clara Pepito is donned in hunting gear as he slaughters chupacabras.

Going a step further to prove my point and these songs actually fit right in 😄

After all this time, I still think this is one of the funniest ones I've did.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #18: Everyone grieves the loss of a loved one in their own way. His way involves a robotic brain, a refusal to let go, and rejecting the laws of nature. featuring: Juan, Pepito's Dad, and Clara Pepito and a recently revived Lupe are eating ice cream together as Lupe incorrectly shoves a spoon into her eye. A piece of machinery is protruding from the back of Lupe's head.

Another personal favorite of mine that I would turn into an actual comic. Even though the "haunted game" concept has been done many times before, there's a severe lack of body horror in every single attempt in which I would fix myself if I actually had the time 😄

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #17: The Sabnock 43 was an unreleased game console from the 90's. The entire development team was mysteriously killed and its prototype went missing, never to be found again... until now. featuring: Juan, Lupe, and Clara Pepito is trapped inside the tv as he tries to wake his body up from the other side as organic tendrils pierce into him from the console itself. In the background a face smiles in the darkness.

This was another fun cover mainly because I got to draw Bizarro versions of tv icons that only a few people will ever recognize 😄

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #16: in this issue... Attack of the Latin-American tv personalities from another dimension!\ featuring: Lupe, Pepito's dad and Pepito's mom Pepito and Juan are face to face with extra-dimensional and twisted versions of Chapulin Colorado, Walter Mercado, and El Chacal de la Trompeta from Sabado Gigante

I think this cover was the quickest one I've done out of all of them. I would have definitely put alot more detail in the background if I wasn't in a serious time crunch back then.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #15: what would cause a wife and mother to poison her own family? Revenge? Insanity? Another man? Read on to find out! featuring: Pepito, Pepito's dad, and Juan Pepito's mom is shown mixing in all kinds of dangerous materials into a pot in an attempt to poison pepito and his dad.

When I was getting ready to make this one, I had a Ricardo Lopez type of situation already in mind but there were too many ways I could have gone about it so it took a while for me to whittle down my ideas until just one remained. Needless to say, the effort was worth it.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #14: peer into the sick and twisted mind of an obsessed stalker hellbent on murder! featuring: Pepito, Juan, and Lupe The lair of a criminally insane stalker is shown with bomb-making materials scattered everywhere along with many photos of Clara covering a wall as a computer monitor is showing live footage of Clara sleeping in front of a hidden camera.

I remember doing this one really quick, but it's basically a huge reference to "In The Mouth of Madness" mixed with my lame attempt at cosmic horror.

#Halloween #OCart
Super Scary Tales from the Barrio #13: the discovery of a new number held secrets to the universe itself. Secrets that were never meant for human eyes... featuring: Juan, Lupe, and Clara Pepito is locked in an insane asylum with an incomprehensible equation written repeatedly all over his padded walls and face.
