Mike Mignola (creator of Hellboy, for those of you who aren’t into comic books and don’t immediately recognize the name) has created a pilot for a new animated show, a comedic horror series, on the Sci-Fi Channel called The Amazing Screw-On Head. Fans of Mignola’s signature style will not be disappointed; the art is exactly what you’d expect from one of his comic books.
The pilot airs tonight at 10:30, but if you can’t wait that long (I certainly couldn’t), you can see the entire thing on the web right now. What’s it about? Well:
"President Abraham Lincoln’s top spy… a bodyless head known only as Screw-On Head… aided by his multitalented manservant, Mr. Groin, and by his talking canine cohort, Mr. Dog.
When arch-fiend Emperor Zombie steals an artifact that will enable him to threaten all life on Earth, the task of stopping him is assigned to Screw-on Head."
Yes, it’s weird. And silly. Go watch it anyway.

Amazing Screw On Head….Can you find my paycheck?
Yes. It is being held captive by agents of the British Empire.
