Fufu Frauenwahl

Berlin based illustrator Frauenwahl's style remids me of old school comic books. How he uses just black and white, but creates these creepy pieces is quite a talent. His work is almost a throwback to black and white horror movies of the fifties, like 'It Came From Beneath the Sea' or 'Them!'. For example when I look at the piece below I can't help but think of 'The Blob'. I can remember another example of this type of illustration from a few years back when I read a comic called 'The Man with the Screaming Brain'. The whole story read like B-Movie plot, but the pencil and ink work was fantastic.
