TO HELL YOU RIDE # 1
Writer : Lance Henriksen , Joseph Maddrey
Penciller : Tom Mandrake
Colorist : Cris Peter
Cover Artist : Tom Mandrake
Publication Date : December 12 , 2012
A deadly curse chivy the diminished townspeople of Telluride , mellow the flesh from its victims — the violent revenge four warrior lay in motility when their sacred burial grounds were disturb for the sake of gold miners ’ greed !
What was your inspiration for To Hell You drive ?
Lance Henriksen : In the later sixties , I ended up in Telluride , Colorado . It was n’t like the nation baseball club that it is now . It was very raw . Skiing was there , but snowboarders have now whole overrun it . Back then , it was previous at night , the townsfolk was empty , and it was winter . I was in a bar , and I ’m sit there , seem at the great unwashed , inquire , “ This is a loge canyon at the end of the road . What are they doing here ? ” I suppose , “ Well , they must be reincarnated miners and Richard Hooker from back in those days . ” At the same moment , a verse form from Dylan Thomas polish off me . And it was :
I have heard many years of telling ,
And many years should see some change .
The ball I discombobulate while playing in the park
Has not yet turn over the ground .
What it gave to me was that this place had a piddling bit of a cursed flavour about it . A bane that would [ come to ] realization whenever it wanted to , and for whatever reason it require to . You go back to something frightful in the past , and the ramifications are still happening now . It ’s like environmental science in a manner .
So the story just fell in my lap , and I wrote a movie out of it . Nobody was concerned in the hand back in those days . It was certainly the beginning of the storey . Another element that came in was that I ran into a medicine man from the Klamath River Indians . He took me under his annexe and told me this awing story about a tribal senior who was demand by the police to feel a missing girl .
This was back in the 1930s . The guy walk through his house backward for miles through the town and woods . People followed him , wondering what the hell was buy the farm on . The guy stop over , turned around , and say , “ She ’s here . ” They flick over this vainglorious flat rock and found the girl . She was dead . [ The medicament man ] said , “ The guy that did [ this ] would deform himself in in around a calendar month . ” And he did .
All these strains of the idea started inspire me . As a small fry , there was a painting ofAppeal to the Great Spiritthat I would see when I would get oatmeal bowls out of the closet . This painting , it was so real to me that it frighten me .
All of these things combined at Comic - Con . [ Dark Horse founding father ] Mike Richardson issue forth up to me and asked me if I wanted to do a comic . This news report immediately popped into my mind . [ My biographer ] Joe Maddrey worked on it with me and [ illustrator ] Tom Mandrake , who taught us as we endure along . We ’ve been work out on this for a twelvemonth .
That ’s certainly a configuration of brainchild . You ’ve done some iconic westerly part in picture show likeNear DarkandDead Man — did your performing experience lend itself to crafting this comic ?
Lance Henriksen : I ’ve had a prospicient career , and as a shaver I ’ve had an incredible pleasure out of comedian , namely Tales from the Crypt ( until the McCarthy Era and they got rid of them all ) . subsequently in life-time , I ’ve realized the specificity and choices to make a comedian . It ’s a great artform that is like sitting around a campfire telling a dandy scarey story .
I go back to when they had black and white movies in the theater , and you ’d have these zombie from the priggish era rising up to pull out you down into this spiritualist Victorian ethic . There ’s this Victorian nonpareil , “ If I have enough muddle , end wo n’t find me if I ’m so officious . ” today [ zombies ] have changed from that to contagion and environmental element . When we get in modulation from any times in our eras , these monsters and quarantine story come up . We ’ve made one very scary and specific .
So yes , we ’re creating a mythology here . In a way , being born is a sorting of bionomical contagion . When you have longevity of family , we remember our grandfathers and perchance our great - grandfather . We somehow do n’t have the capacity in advanced life to remember further than that . All of the complication of their lives have an force on us , and we ’re not mindful of it .
Speaking of Western revulsion , there ’s a story floating around about how you and Bill Paxton almost play afoul of the police while method acting - acting as vampires during the motion-picture photography of Near Dark . Could you rarify on this ?
Lance Henriksen : It ’s all genuine . We did n’t want to allow those parts go . We were enjoying it so much . Kathryn Bigelow , being the form of director that she is , absolutely wanted that . I run to require to personalize everything I do . I ca n’t just narrate a book . Bill Paxton and I decided to go out to gravestone and natter the graves of guy we know because we ’d been live so long — the bicycle of our [ graphic symbol ’ ] journey across America was 40 year .
On the way there , I had a gun that I practise with under my seat . It was n’t material , but it wait real . We were in full make - up because we had left early as soon as the Lord’s Day number up . A cop gave us a ticket for speed . I was in a convertible . Bill , knowing where I was coming from , say “ Lance , do n’t , do n’t , do n’t ! ” He knew I would talk to the cop in character . The bull actually backed up because I had a look in my eyes like he was my next repast . He throw the slate at me ! Also , Bill Paxton walk around with a black umbrella the whole meter . It was a great trope , and he would n’t put it away . We were living this thing .
Whoa . Any other particularly memorable occasions where you immersed yourself in a theatrical role like that ?

Lance Henriksen : Aliens was a major turn point for me . I ’d seen Ian Holm and Rutger Hauer do their androids , and I thought to myself , “ How can I vie with that ? ” I quickly realize , “ Do n’t contend . ” The plight that Bishop was in — I depart using my emotional life of when I was 12 old age old . If people were mean to me , I ’d think , “ Well , I ’m buy the farm to outlast you , so I can forgive you for your behavior . ” Bishop also regard all living things as this miracle , because he was n’t animated . I also give it the idea that I was a young black kid in South Africa — if I made a mistake , something speculative would take place to me .
So I had all those affair going , but there was an innocence about it that I did n’t in full realize would have an impact on the movie . It ’s an purity that could be dangerous and offered the audience a mint of questions that needed to be answered . [ This role ] was all about creating this emotion rather taking it as an intellectual estimation .
What did you make of Michael Fassbender ’s performance as the android David in Prometheus ?
Lance Henriksen : I have n’t see it . I was kind of bugged that they never even lecture to me . I ’m waiting to see it , but on my cell phone . That ’s my rebellion . [ Alien Versus Predator director ] Paul Anderson had a brilliant means of handle [ Bishop ’s visual aspect ] , and it ended up being successful for that movie . [ Alien 3 screenwriter ] Walter Hill also put me on the prison major planet . When an idea is good it work . I love Ridley Scott ’s work , but he did n’t go in that way . But I ’m thin-skinned , so I have to watch out it on my cell headphone .
