Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash #5 cover art

Robert Englund, best known for his portrayal of Freddy Kruger from the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, recently commented on WildStorm’s Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash comic; however, he seems to merely enjoy looking rather than reading it.

“Well, I love the artwork. I absolutely love the artwork. I like the storyline but I love the artwork. I think the cover art is just phenomenal,” the Los Angeles native explained.

Makes me wonder if he actually read the books…

He also expressed his belief as to why Evil Dead actor Bruce Campbell was not involved in the comic book project:

“I understand Bruce Campbell is a little disappointed. That maybe due somewhat to licensing, I don’t know? This was a feverish high-concept idea that had been tossed around at New Line for a while. I had some connections over there and I knew it was legitimate. I think perhaps one of the reasons [it wasn’t made] was because there was a decision for Sam Raimi to remake Evil Dead. I think he didn’t want to muddy the waters with Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash if in fact he was going to do his remake… That’s probably why they put the kibosh on it as a movie but I certainly don’t think there’s any problem in having it out as a comic book. I think it’s kind of interesting and fun. But I understand though that Bruce Campbell’s nose is a bit bent out of joint about it because nobody consulted him or perhaps there were some licensing issues there, I don’t know? But I just think it’s a lot of fun and I’m really a fan.”

Oh, you mean that Evil Dead sequel that hasn’t come out for years now?
