The comic book series I’ve created with Brian Hurtt has solicited in the most recent issue of Previews for an October release.

During the Prohibition Era, gangsters grew rich on our nation’s vice, and rivalries between criminal organizations resulted in open warfare and gangland murders. But unknown to the common man, a more sinister power controlled the crime cartels, using greed, gluttony, lust, and other sins to fuel a much more lucrative trade: mortal souls.

Three demon families control soul-trafficking within the city, capitalizing on “the rackets” to lead unfortunates into their grasp. When a deal between the two most powerful demon families starts to go sour, Eddie—a poor schmuck cursed to keep returning from the dead—is stuck in the middle.

Published by Oni Press, The Damned is a supernatural gangland tale. Organized crime is the province of demons obsessed with the very vices they use to tempt humans. Mortals and halfbreeds scratch and claw their way up the ladder of power. And one man, cursed and unable to rest, finds himself caught in a sinister web of kidnapping, murder, and damnation.

I hope you’ll consider picking it up. If you have a local comic shop, stop by or call them and ask them to order the book for you and carry the title on their shelves. If you need helping finding a shop near you, try the Comic Shop Locator.
