4/150 I'm not sure how to describe this. It's dark, gothic, kind of steampunkish, but also has the flavor of old pulpy adventure stories. Screw-On head works for President Lincoln, as an agent investigating strange and occult events. It's actually pretty funny, in a dark quirky way.
3 ⭐⭐⭐💫

Baltimore, Volume 2: The Curse Bells | Various, Christopher Golden, Mike Mignola

A bit early for Halloween, but this GN caught my eye in the library. It's the 2nd in the series, but the setup is straightforward: WWI ended after 2 years due to a pandemic plague, followed by a resurgence of vampires! Lord Henry Baltimore apparently lost a leg to über-vamp Haigus in the last volume, not to mention having to send his undead family to their stake-death, so Baltimore's blood is hot for vampire slaying! Fangtastic! 🦇🧛🏻‍♂️🦇

Bookwomble Finished! It was pretty good, and I'd be happy to read the others in the series, though for some reason the big library I go to only ever has the books from the middle of a series, never those from the beginning or end - I'm barely organised enough to order them, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️ This worked ok as a stand-alone 'episode' in an ongoing arc, though, so 4🦇 7mo
dabbe From what I've heard from some Litsy folk, it's never too early for Halloween. 🎃 7mo
Bookwomble @dabbe It does appear that way! 👻🏚️😄 7mo

83/150 If it wasn't for some nice artwork, this would have gotten a pan. None of the stories are scary, funny, mysterious, they seemed pointless mostly. The last story, A Dog and His Boy by Evan Dorkin & Jill Thompson, was the best of the lot. A sad tale of a dog's loyalty to a strange, dangerous boy. 2 ⭐⭐

80/150 Spinning out of Mignola's excellent Hellboy series, Witchfinder is a dark gothic tale of demons, ghosts, occult powers and secret societies This would make a perfect read for Halloween. 4 😈😈😈😈

This was an interesting read. I haven‘t really ever read any graphic novels before, but I found this to be a compelling story. I‘ve always been a fan of Batman and very much enjoyed reading this story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

RamsFan1963 I loved Gotham, except for the last episode. No spoilers but you might want to stop at the penultimate episode. 1y
