From the Eisner award-winning creator of The Goon comes an over-the-bigtop horror romp pitting outlaw legend Billy the Kid and a band of circus "freaks" against the evil
machinations of the nefarious Dr. Frankenstein! Penned with deranged glee by Powell and illustrated by fan-favorite horror artist Kyle Hotz (The Agency andThe Hood), Billy The Kid's Old Timey Oddities starts with Billy the Kid free to roam America, having
faked his own death. Free, that is, until Fineas Spoule, AKA. The Human Spider,
discovers his secret. Now, afraid of being exposed, Billy finds himself in the service of a
caravan of carnival sideshow performers who have unfinished business with a mad
scientist none other than Victor Frankenstein himself! This twisted love child of spaghetti
westerns and Hammer horror flicks combines Powell's humorous fast-paced storytelling
and Hotz's quirky macabre visuals for a story that the whole family will loveā¦if they're
the kind of family that love alligator men and miniature boys fighting monstrous mistakes
of science with the help of the fastest gunslinger in the West! |
