☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together early installments of the supernatural legal comedy series Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre, following attorneys Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd as they handle bizarre cases involving ghosts, monsters, and other uncanny clients. The volume includes appearances by figures like King Arthur and Merlin, blending courtroom drama with dark humor and occult themes.
In "Nine Points of the Law," Wolff & Byrd take on a case that blurs the line between guilt and myth, as client Prima Donner confronts the very entity she's spent years blaming—Dave, the Boogeyman. With Batton Lash writing, drawing, inking, and lettering the entire issue, and his own distinctive art defining the cover, this 1992 Sidebar Books tale explores the uneasy balance between supernatural aid and personal responsibility.
When a freak lightning storm swaps the personalities of heavy metal rocker Dook Doogun and revivalist preacher Reverend Tommy, chaos ensues—first in the courtroom, then on the stage. What starts as a legal battle over stolen acts quickly spirals into an unlikely partnership, as the two embrace their new, shared identity.
When a mysterious law firm begins snatching entire practices whole, Wolff & Byrd find themselves tangled in a case that’s less about legal strategy and more about something far stranger—because the real scandal isn’t the takeover, it’s the fact that the firm has been losing money for decades. Mr. Crumbel’s quiet demeanor hides a deeper absurdity: the entire operation runs on nothing but bureaucracy and bad decisions.
In "Infernal Intern," Wolff & Byrd face off against a surprisingly sharp new legal intern, Lawson, who quickly proves he’s no ordinary rookie. As the case unfolds, Lawson’s focus shifts from winning to surviving—especially when he realizes the client’s precognitive powers aren’t just a legal loophole, but a very real, very unsettling threat.
Arlen Schwarz, a ghost with a surprisingly active social life, is determined to track down his long-lost heir—only to find his haunted house unexpectedly becoming the city’s most fashionable party spot. As spirits and socialites mingle, Schwarz discovers that being dead might not be so bad after all.
Prima Donner has always blamed the Boogeyman for her misfortunes—until he shows up in person, played by Dave, to finally set things straight. After one last rescue, Dave makes it clear she’ll have to face her own consequences, prompting Prima to strike a new deal with her Personal Demon.
When Wolff & Byrd are forced to relocate their macabre legal practice into the sterile offices of Witbood, Cushman & Boyle, their chaotic energy clashes with the firm’s rigid decorum—especially with Mitchell Stevens, whose unorthodox methods are about to put the staid legal world on notice.
Tony "Don Juan" Dante thought Hell would be his ultimate playground—until he realized even demons fear one thing: lawyers. Now trapped in the afterlife, he finds himself face to face with the most terrifying legal minds in the underworld: Wolff & Byrd.
Judge Wolff and Corey Wolff return to their hometown of Cobbwebb for a rare family visit, only to find that Alanna—now a grown woman—has returned too, drawn back by memories and a surprising new romance with Frank Boyle. As the town’s secrets begin to surface, the two Wolffs find themselves caught in a bizarre legal quirk involving the neighboring town of Lake Awgowan, where time has frozen in place, and the only thing moving is the law.
In "Beauty and the Breach," Wolff & Byrd find themselves tangled in a bizarre legal battle when Katherine Hammett, their usually stoic opponent, reveals a secret passion for Clarence—a reclusive, poetry-loving lion-man with a crooked eye who lives in the city’s forgotten sewers. As the case unfolds, the line between courtroom drama and surreal absurdity blurs, leaving Frank Boyle and Wallace Printz to navigate a world where justice is as strange as the clients who demand it.
