michael myers (halloween)
the first "halloween" comic was published by brian pulido's chaos! comics. simply titled "halloween", it was intended to be a one-issue special, but eventually two sequels spawned: "halloween ii: the blackest eyes" and "halloween iii: the devil's eyes". all of the stories were written by phil nutman, with daniel farrands—writer for "halloween: the curse of michael myers"—assisting on the first issue; david brewer and justiniano worked on the illustrations. tommy doyle is the main protagonist in each of the issues, focusing on his attempts to kill michael myers. the first issue includes back story on michael's childhood, while the third picks up after the events of the film "halloween h20". these comics were based on daniel farrand's concept for "halloween: resurrection"; he had been approached by the producers to pitch a follow-up to "halloween h20". his idea was to have tommy doyle incarcerated at smith's grove for michael myers' crimes, only to escape and reunite with lindsay wallace. together, they study the journals of dr. loomis and find out more about michael's childhood. the movie would have explored michael's time at smith's grove and his relationship with dr. loomis, before returning to tommy and lindsay, who are attacked by the adult michael myers. upon defeating him and removing his mask, they discover laurie strode, who has taken over her brother's mantle. farrand's logic was that, since jamie lee curtis was contracted to cameo in "halloween: resurrection", they should make that cameo as significant and surprising as possible. although the studio did not follow up on his pitch, farrands was able to tell his story in comic book form.
