Mike Mignola’s Abu Gung - both versions!

I've had Mike's The Amazing Screw-on Head short story collection for a long time and keep it close at hand. I was overjoyed to find an original version of Abu Gung and the Beanstalk in Dark Horse's Scatterbrain anthology series and the comparison of Mike's work on the same story with 12 years between the two versions was invaluable. Here's a companion blog article to dive deeper: www.benjaminsch...

I've already seen an análisis on this one but it's kind of a joy to have the spoken commentary, and the company too! 👍

I didn't know Abu in teu Screw-on Head was a second version of the story!
So interesting to see the evolution and the changes!

[@benjamin_schipper]

Right! Total surprise to me as well, glad you liked it too!

What a great comparison! Thanks for sharing, you guys. I noticed, in addition to the narrator, the ending also has a "floating skull" character behind him.
