The fourth issue of Richard Sala's first published solo comic book, which ran 12 issues and introduced the girl detective, Judy Drood and Peculia, the mysterious waif whose fairy-tale inspired adventures include encounters with murderous children, necrophiles, cat-women and zombies. Sala writes and draws in the grand and ghoulish tradition of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams, delivering delightfully gruesome and fanciful, tongue-in-cheek maniacs, monsters, and mayhem. Stories and artwork by Sala. Staple-bound; 24 pages; b&w comics; 6.5 x 10 inches.
Richard Sala grew up with a fascination for musty old museums, dusty old libraries, cluttered antique shops, narrow alleyways, hidden truths, double meanings, sinister secrets and spooky old houses. He has written and drawn a number of unusual graphic novels which often combine elements of classic mystery and horror stories and which have been known to cause readers to emit chuckles as well as gasps. Although most of his books are written with teens and older readers in mind, his book, CAT BURGLAR BLACK, can be enjoyed by younger readers as well.
