Samhain (band) of Danzig. Both Samhain and its successor, Danzig, use the same horned skull image originally drawn by artist Michael Golden for the cover of the 1984 comic book "The Saga of Crystar" No. 8, published by Marvel Comics. The font often used in the name logo of Samhain, and later Danzig, is taken from the film "The Giant Gila Monster". Danzig took the name of the band from the ancient Celtic New Year: Samhain, the origin of the modern Halloween. The band's name is typically pronounced "sam-hane", though when the word occurs in song lyrics, Danzig himself pronounces it "sah-win",
Samhain (magazine) the dramatic activity in Ireland." In the first issue of "Samhain", Yeats explained the name change as referring to "the old name for the beginning of winter, because our plays this year are in October, and because our Theatre is coming to an end in its present shape." "Samhain" also published the texts of new plays for a time, but later these were printed in book form as "The Abbey Theatre Series". It supported the poetic drama. The magazine was published in Dublin by Sealy, Bryers & Walker, and in London by T. Fisher Unwin. In 1908 "Samhain" ceased publication.
