Imagine a city filled entirely and exclusively by classic monsters from film, fiction and folklore, going about their day just like the inhabitants of any other metropolis. It’s a fantastic place of wonder and weirdness made all the more special in that our story takes place in the early 1950s.
Our first arc’s main character is Perry Cutter, Werewolf P.I. who takes on a case locating a missing female vampiress. At first the case seems simple enough, until Perry discovers the vampiress used to date Mummy gangster and casino owner Ramses Ra, and she has valuable information of Ra’s that she stole before vanishing. Add in a Vampire gang, corrupt cops and a shocking betrayal by Perry’s best friend, man-monster Clyde and Perry is soon in it up to his neck.
Oh, and then there’s Rosie, a vampiress waitress at the diner Perry goes to. Perry wants to go on a date with her, but it seems like the case will get in their way. Will they ever get to enjoy a night on the town.
This is more of a mystery with monsters than a horror comic, being inspired as much by Film Noir crime movies and detective fiction as it in by Universal Horror films.
The series is thrilling fun with incredible art by Jesus Merino which really brings the series and the city to life.
Extra material in the back and all four alternate covers by Marcos Martin, Tony Harris, Ramon Perez, and Dan Panosian.
