Hack/Slash: Girls Gone Dead #[nn]

In "Girls Gone Dead," Cassie and Vlad hit the beach for Spring Break with a deadly mission: stop a masked slasher targeting partygoers for their sins, all under the twisted direction of a religious fanatic. Written by Tim Seeley and illustrated with sharp, visceral flair by Federica Manfredi, this 2004 Devil's Due hit delivers a gory, high-stakes thriller with a killer mix of horror and dark humor. The cover, also by Seeley, captures the grim tone with a chilling, hand-drawn intensity.
