First meet AHOY’s own alcohol-damaged version of Poe in “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar,” adapted by Tom Peyer (Batman ’66) and drawn by Fred Harper.

Vol 2: October 09, 2019
AHOY Comics’ snarky anthology/desecration of Edgar Allan Poe returns for a new season-beginning with the ultimate Poe mashup! In Dean Motter’s “The Tell-Tale Black Cask of Usher,” the drink-addled writer falls prey to his own horrific imagination. Hunt Emerson offers another slapstick “Poe and the Black Cat.” A selection of horrific prose and pictures rounds out the issue. Painted cover by Richard Williams (MAD).
