Horror and humor are tough to pair without the end product seeming forced and therefore neither scary nor funny. This combining is not a problem for cartoonist Batton Lash, who has been making the frightening funny since the 1979 debut of Wolff & Byrd. Using his two main characters--lawyers who only take cases involving the supernatural--Lash manages to pick apart popular culture and dig deep into touchy issues, all while reveling in the standard tropes of horror comics. In this, the third collection of his bimonthly comic book series, the stories span such subjects as alien abduction (in a dead-on X-Files parody) and a guardian angel being sued for neglect. This book also contains Lash's most controversial issue to date: in a setting reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby, a woman impregnated with Satan's baby weighs the pros and cons of abortion.
Book Description
Beware the Creatures of the Night--They have lawyers! This book collects issues 9-12 of the popular comic book series featuring Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd, whose clients are monsters and the supernaturally afflicted. In this volume you'll find great parodies of the X Files and Rosemary's Baby ("I'm Carrying Satan's Child!"), the story of a guardian angel sued for being incompetent (a must for Jack Benny fans!), plus a number of short stories, including "I Married a Quivering Blob of Jelly," and "The Man With His Own Personal Laugh Track."
