About the series
In the Prohibition-era underworld of 1920s America, The Damned (2006–2007) from Oni Press marries gangland noir with the supernatural, as warring crime families discover that their most potent soldiers are demons bound into mortal flesh. Written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Brian Hurtt across five issues, this series builds a gritty, atmospheric world where bootleggers and monsters are indistinguishable, and deals are sealed in blood and brimstone. A tense, stylish blend of period crime and dark fantasy, it stands as a distinctive cult favorite for its moody art and clever fusion of two classic genres.
