Description

In a prohibition-era world where demonic entities pull the strings that make the crime families dance, Eddie is a mortal with two things working for him. First of all, he can't die. Well, he can and does, quite often, but he doesn't stay that way long. Second, Eddie runs the Gehenna Room, a nightclub with a strict "no demons allowed" policy.

Advance Praise

“Sometimes silly, sometimes dark, The Damned is the best pulp adventure you’ve never read. There are times when this story of life and death will remind you of Hellboy or BPRD, but Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt have really managed to craft something truly unique with this tale. These guys have been making amazing comics together for a long time (go read The Sixth Gun right freaking now) so it’s no surprise that The Damned is consistently great.”
- Nerdist

“You absolutely cannot miss it. It has laughs, chills, action, beautifully shadowy art complimented by moody colors, and a unique, compelling world of horned hitmen and menacing mobsters.” - Syfy Wire

”Horror fans will enjoy the way horror is blended with noir to create a new, suspenseful hybrid genre. The plot twists and unique characters make it a fun page-turner that hooks the reader quickly and keeps them engage throughout the story.” - Cemetery Dance

The Damned is a perfect blend between horror and crime. It takes the best aspects of both genres, bringing them together to make something scary yet intriguing. Eddie is a distinct character amidst a horde of generic hard-nosed private eyes.” - HorrorTalk
