Cryptology #14, Glenn Fabry Main Cover

“This issue, take a roller coaster ride through the fiery pits of Hades, to share time with some of its most despicable manifestations. Eddie Campbell discusses that milestone in graphic novels From Hell, while comic book artist Glenn Fabry reminisces on his tenebrous sojourn with Hellblazer (in a crossover with Back Issue #174, also shipping this month from TwoMorrows). The Gates of Hell as presented by Lucio Fulci in his heinous film trilogy from the 1980s will be pried open, before throwing a hellborne torchlight on Steve Bissette’s groundbreaking anthology Taboo (would you believe it was banned in the UK?). Before the gates of the underworld are finally closed, we will meet up with Marvel Comics’ Son of Satan, and take a cinematic look at The Exorcist and The Entity. If yours is a fascination for Roger Corman, look no further, for I, your trusted friend the Cryptologist, have exhumed a couple of his classics: The Little Shop of Horrors and Bucket of Blood. Then there’s just enough time to take you on a trip to Blood Island (via the 1960s series of Filipino fright films), and savor another of Hammer’s horrors. Even Mr. Scratch wouldn’t miss this hell-bound issue of Cryptology, the perfect read for retro horror fans!”
