Courtesy of Vault Comics, AIPT can share all of the variant covers for the horror comedy Goobers. On September 18th, the series I was written by Cody Ziglar with art by Ryan Lee. Covers are by Riley Rossmo, Paris Alleyne, and Angela Wu, and interconnected Garbage Pail Kids-style covers from Adam Cahoon!
“I grew up watching 80s and 90s b-horror films,” Ziglar said. “I also grew up in a small country town. Goobers is a love letter to both! I love being able to smash some of my favorite genres, movies, and comics together with my love of North Carolina. I also loved being able to voice the frustration of growing up in a small town and being self-conscious about what they thought of me and how I lived my life.”
Ziglar added, “Back in 2021 during peak covid, I moved back home for 6 months to spend time with my parents and that’s where Goobers was truly born. I kept wondering what made certain towns feel the same, even if there are small changes, and landed on the obvious answer: alien worms must invade and body-snatch folks. Goobers, in many ways, in just my comedic look on processing those emotions while also paying homage to some of my favorite films like Shaun of the Dead, Night of the Creeps, Get Out, and Revenge of the living Dead.”
Check out all the covers below.
Clayton Lowe is headed back to his small Southern hometown. His new friends from grad school are about to meet his old friends from high school and discover that something may have finally changed in the town where nothing ever changes: Pine Cove is ground zero for an infestation of body-snatching alien-bugs. Time to bury the past.
From Cody Ziglar (Miles Morales: Spider-Man, Spider-Punk, Futurama) and Ryan Lee (Rick & Morty) comes a body-snatching splatter-fest of horror and humor!
