Ghoul #2 (2009) $4.50 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Steve Niles (w) o Bernie Wrightson (a & c) The Ghoul arrives in Los Angeles and quickly learns that there's more to Hollywood than glitz and glamour—there are also demons invading Griffith Park and a cop named Klimpt, who is convinced an aging starlet is a blood-sucking freak of her own creation. It's the Ghoul versus Demons in this knockdown, drag-out melee of monstrous behemoths! Date Available: 01/13/2010 BONUS REVIEW by SHANNA BERRY The Ghoul is not just what he appears. Yes, he is a monstrous, frightening beast. But behind the grotesque features dwells a regular dude; blunt, direct, relaxed, and casually hilarious with impeccable comedic timing. Working for the government as an investigator, he is an expert in his field – the supernatural. Step by step you find yourself laughing out loud at the unexpected frank sense of humor inhibited by the Ghoul. There is a softness behind his stony eyes, a beautiful balance between ogre and chum superbly captured by Bernie Wrightson’s edgy art. Possibly my favorite part of the series, the back-up, brings even more insight into the character, detailing his work with the fed and coming to terms with being a walking nightmare. Do not skip the brilliant back-up narrative entitled "My Ghoul" from the legendary Steve Niles. **NOW AVAILABLE IN HARDCOVER I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
