Tales from the One-Eyed Crow: The Vulgmaster

For over three decades, this singular Penguin comic has stood as a hauntingly unique fantasy one-shot, scripted by David Keller and Dennis L. McKiernan with ethereal, intricate artwork by Alex Niño. It plunges readers into the grim tavern of the One-Eyed Crow, where the infamous Vulgmaster—a monstrous, shape-shifting entity—is summoned for a final, fatal contest of wits. A cult artifact of the 1990s small-press scene, it remains a stark, self-contained legend of folklore-infused horror.
