This video introduces the unique comic book series Horace H. Hoover, focusing on its protagonist who sports a vacuum on his head. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/horace-h-hoover/horace-h-hoover-4 The series, written and illustrated by Fabrizio Aiello, and currently funding on Kickstarter, blends pulp, occult, and adventure themes, making it a distinctive addition to any **book collection** and a must-see for every **comic collector**. Spooky Occult Adventures of a Paranormal Detective! Horace H. Hoover #4 The next issue in the exciting occult supernatural pulp adventure mini-series! Welcome to the world(s) of Horace H. Hoover — paranormal detective! Jump into the pulp-occult adventure filled with ghosts, demons, cults, and even deadly butlers! This five-issue limited series is the jumping-off point for a brand-new and unique world of esoteric knowledge, quirky characters, twisting mysteries, and more. The sole vision of Fabrizio Aiello brings all things weird fiction, occult, and pulp together into a never-before-seen experience. Issue #4 in this series is 100% complete! The writing, pencils, inks, colors, and lettering are finished, and proofs are already being printed. Issues #1–3 have already been published and will go through another round of printing and available as AdOns. While wearing something that looks suspiciously like a vacuum cleaner on his head, H.H. Hoover is pulled into a dangerous and epic adventure to save a man he once knew from an eternal fate worse than death. What begins with a young girl’s haunting will take Hoover across different universes, underground evil lairs, janitor’s closets, and the maze of a mysterious giant! In this limited mini-series, multiple stories are woven throughout all five issues. In Issue #4, we find the thrilling conclusion to the Smoke Man mystery! This full-color, standard-sized comic is 38 pages in total. Each issue is printed on thicker paper stock with a matte-finish cover. The colors are vibrant, a throwback to the ’70s and ’80s style of art, color, and storytelling (with a modern spin). The Man Behind the Vacuum That would be me, Fabrizio Aiello — the writer, artist, and publisher of H.H. Hoover. The story of H.H. Hoover goes back to 2017, beginning with a 3D sculpture that evolved into sketches and finally a published book in 2021. After the first two issues, I decided to self-publish. With such a unique concept, having total creative control — as well as managing distribution — felt like the best approach for readers. Issue #3 was published in 2024, and Issue #5 is already in the works. I’ve been creating art for decades as a freelance 3D artist and illustrator. I also have a YouTube channel where I stream live art sessions and chat about comics and creativity in general.
