"Girls and Corpses" is a comedy/horror magazine founded in 2002 by award winning fiction writer and author Robert Steven Rhine who also goes by the pseudonyms "Corpsy" and "The Grin Creeper".

Origins

The print magazine is published quarterly and features photographs of beautiful women posing with rotting corpses. The magazine also contains celebrity and band interviews, comedic articles, advertising spoofs and comic artwork. Rhine describes the magazine as "Maxim" meets "Dawn of The Dead" and "the first comedy magazine about death." He created "Girls and Corpses" to fill the void left by childhood favorites "MAD Magazine" and "National Lampoon".

Girls and Corpses Magazine is sold on newsstands in the U.S. and Canada via Ingram Distributors and is available for purchase on the website and worldwide through Diamond Comics Distributors, also through Last Gasp Comics in San Francisco.

Rhine is the author of the books: "My Brain Escapes Me", the graphic novel "Satan’s 3-Ring Circus of Hell" and the comic books "Selected Readings From Satan’s Powder Room", "Chicken Soup For Satan" and "Satan Gone Wild".

Rhine explains, "We offer an alternative to fans of horror stalwarts Fangoria and Rue Morgue, by serving some guffaws with our gore."
