Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse: One-Shot

Ben Templesmith’s Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse began its run with this 2007 one-shot from IDW, introducing a dapper, undead detective with a taste for the macabre. Co-written by Templesmith and Lorelei Bunjes, with Templesmith handling the signature, moody painted art, the issue launched a series that would blend black comedy, supernatural horror, and stylish, grotesque visuals. It remains a cult touchstone for fans of creator-owned, offbeat horror comics.
