Hello and welcome to the beginning of Grandma Got Bitten By A Vampire, the fan comic sequel to Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer.
If your not familar let me educate you. GGROBAR started as a 70's Christmas song by Elmo and Patsy Trigg Shropshire, a nonsensical diddy where Grandma gets drunk, heads off for a walk and..well…gets run over by Santa. The family grieves save for grandma's husband who goes on as if nothing happened. Morbid but was all in good fun.
In 2000, someone thought that would make a good premise for a Christmas special. Course as it was aimed at kids, they had to remove all mention of drinking and death and inculde a story. The tale focuses on the Spankenheimer's in which Grandma runs a bakery, a small one in the rising economy of the big city. She's offered money for the place but turns it down much to the irritation of the gold digging Cousin Mel. Not shortly after, the titular walk and run down happens. But rather then die, Grandma goes missing. Her grandson Jake tries desperately to find her before Cousin Mel takes over the bakery and sells it. Long story short, Grandma is found, Mel hatches a new scheme to sue Santa. Jake unreavels Mel's plot and Christmas is saved. Yeah say the least it's silly but very well told and worthy of the song's title.
So why do a comic on such average story? Well plain and simple, just for kicks. I love vampires (to a certain extent *coughTwilightcough*) and just got the idea while watching the special and looking over a graphic novel of Dracula. A few new characters will be added to the mix but otherwise it just another supernatual encounter of the Spankenheimers.
So that said I hope you enjoy this little tale of an elderly woman becoming the walking undead. L8r.
