...and in so doing makes my head damn near explode with her talent. Emily Carroll, as you may recall, was the cartoonist between the Halloween sensation "His Face All Red," a chillingly subtle horror comic that took the comics Internet by storm around All Hallows Eve. Her latest post is a gallery of fan art for a variety of nerd-beloved franchises: Zombies from Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare and Fallout: New Vegas, the "Fear is the mindkiller" speech from Dune, and more -- even a pin-up from Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski's berserk conquistador classic Aguirre: The Wrath of God (see below). It's always exciting to watch someone go from unknown to must-read (or must-gawk-at, in this case) overnight.

If you wanna see more Carroll, you can feast your eyes on her largely defunct but still art-rich Blogspot blog, her Twitter feed, her LiveJournal (from which the above gallery came), and her "coming soon" website.
