Drawing on Your Nightmares

The Dark Horse horror line offers up a special bag of tricks for autumn. Following up their smash-hit series Criminal Macabre, Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith present Cal McDonald's latest case, in which the foul-mouthed private dick rubs elbows with undead gangsters in Las Vegas. The Goon creator Eric Powell introduces us to the even seedier side of life in his zombie-infested burg, featuring the Goon's eight-armed, hard-luck poker buddy Spider. Brett Matthews, who wrote the Angel comic with Joss Whedon and has written Spiderman/Daredevil and Spiderman/Wolverine for Marvel, and artist Sean Phillips (Sleeper), give us a twisted taste of the upcoming Tales of the Vampires, the new series of comics written by Joss Whedon and the writers from his TV show. No tricks -- this comic's ALL treats!
