FROM THE MUTATED MIND OF EISNER AWARD–WINNING CARTOONIST DEREK CHARM (JUGHEAD, THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL) COMES A MONSTER-SIZED 48-PAGE NIGHTMARE BEACH PARTY THAT WILL KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT . . . IF YOU CAN LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO TELL THE TALE!

Best friends Ben and Leo had the perfect summer planned after high school graduation. As lifeguards in the idyllic beach town of Port Dorian, they were planning for three months of hot guys, late-night bonfires, and no regrets . . . until a toxic spill of unknown properties on the beach transformed their dream summer into a waking nightmare. Now Port Dorian is flooded with panicked tourists, and a horrifying pack of subhuman monstrosities is snatching beachgoers in the night.

Mix one part Riverdale with one part Creature from the Black Lagoon, and drink it down fast because this bi-monthly horror shocker comes packed with enough acidic sludge, perverted beach maniacs, and ill will to ruin anyone’s first summer away from home!

From acclaimed writer Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, The Enfield Gang Massacre) and rising star Artyom Topilin (I Hate This Place) comes the next neon-saturated tale of desperation, fanaticism, and murder based on the work of neo-noir icon Barry Gifford (Lost Highway, Wild at Heart) . . .

Easy Earl Blakey was having an uneventful evening at Alfonzo’s Mexicali Club until a heated argument

at a neighboring table erupted into a hail of bullets. Now Earl, who can barely remember what happened next, is wanted for shooting a New Orleans cop— and the only thing he can think to do is drive.
