 Doc Macabre #1 (2010) $3.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Steve Niles (w) Bernie Wrightson (a & c) Got ghosts in your garage?! Tired of those pesky zombies roaming around your front lawn? Have no fear! Doc Macabre, the one-man supernatural sweeper-upper, is here! There's no job too big for Doc, who, with the aide of his right hand man, er… robot, Lloyd, will have you back resting in your lounge chair monster-free! (For a fee, of course!) Niles and Wrightson's latest opus begins here! Date Available: 12/15/2010 BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS  While the concept, where you take a brainy lad and let him start a Ghostbusters business, is interesting (in comics, when do they actually talk, in detail, about how people get their money, let alone show the actual transaction? Ah, that’s refreshing already), but it’s hard, for me, to say this issue actually has a story. It’s mostly a set-up issue, to me, and though it has a “cliffhanger” ending, I never got the sense of terror, or horror, which is probably the worst thing I can say about the comic. Wrightson still has his drawing chops, and the age of the Zombies is upon us. Perhaps IDW can do something more with them in January, when all of their books are infested with them. I would give Doc another go, but for this comic, now,… 5 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
