Best Horror Comics with RPG Worthy Ideas?

[macphersonrants]

I'd like to hear peoples recommendations of horror themed comic book series with ideas that would work well for adaptation to RPGs. I'm particularly interested in cool monsters, organizations, cosmology, and NPCs.

Hellboy and its spin-off BPRD are great. BPRD works very well as an example of an organization fighting supernatural evil. The shared world of these comics is a kitchen sink of horror and fantasy elements, it has hints of Lovecraft, a Judeo-Christian apocalypse, faeries, etc.... Much of the monsters and plots are very well done adaptations of world folklore.

The Invisibles isn't horror per se, although there are a lot of horrific elements to it. It's also chock full of extradimensional entities, conspiracies, secret organizations and similar goodies.

Walking Dead is really good for zombie-pocalypse horror games

I'm a huge fan of Hellboy and the Invisibles. Of course Hellboy already has an official GURPS supplement.

I'll put Walking Dead on top of my list of new titles to check out.

Hellblazer. A good world in which to test fire some of the chunkier concepts from Thaumatology.

Nemesis the Warlock

2 factions fighting and some weird 'chaos' religion involved.

Remember 'Be pure! Be vigilant! Behave!'

I've thought about trying to do a GURPS write up of the occult powers in Hellblazer. I seem to remember wikipedia having a summary of all of the arcane powers John Constantine exhibits. One thing the series definitely has, going back to my original post, is some great NPCs.

Most of what he does seems to come within the limits of Thaumatology's shamanistic, spirit assisted and/or general ritual magic. He's definitely a medium, but then we knew that already.

If and when you do that, please please please send me a link.

I love Hellblazer, but I've found it very hard to quantify his supernatural abilities. He mostly get's buy with an epic level of Fast Talk.
