Warlord of Io and Other Stories #[nn]
In "Chapter 1 - The Disaffected Menace," Hell’s most reluctant detective, Mumpy Mushmuck, finds himself in a bitter rivalry with the impressively busy Grueltongue, who claims to have secured tickets to the upcoming Hitler-Stalin wrestling match. When Pukdrool reveals that the month’s top detective will win free tickets, Mumpy brags he’s already rigged the judges’ vote—only to face quiet skepticism from Pukdrool, who questions the ethics of such a win. Written and illustrated by James Turner, this darkly comedic tale unfolds in a uniquely twisted underworld, with the cover by James Turner capturing its satirical edge.
