"Crawling Evil" delivers a deliciously twisted tale from Moe Marcus, whose bold artwork brings to life a seaside mansion haunted by ancient secrets and a bride who’s more monster than human. When gold-digging Mona abandons her injured fiancé Donald, he’s rescued by a hidden lineage of crab-like beings—descendants who’ve traded their humanity for survival beneath the waves. Cover by Bernard Baily, this 2017 IDW/Yoe Books standout blends gothic dread with body horror in a story where love turns to vengeance, and the sea holds more than just treasure.
