Kolchak: The Night Stalker: Fever Pitch

(Moonstone, 2002)

A cult classic, Kolchak: The Night Stalker began as two made-for-television movies—the first aired in January 1972; the second, a year later. These two showings proved successful enough to warrant the launch of a TV series in the fall of 1974. Darren McGavin played Carl Kolchak, a down-on-his-luck reporter who pursued stories pertaining to the supernatural and the extraterrestrial, more often than not placing himself in mortal danger to solve the mystery before the authorities. In 2002, Moonstone began publishing Prestige Format one-shots that pick up where the television show left off in 1975.

Kolchak investigates a series of spontaneous combustions —with a twist, of course! Each time, an innocent victim explodes in front of a stunned witness, and the next night, the witness is the next victim. It’s a horrifying chain of events that leads the flu-ridden Kolchak into an fear-fraught situation that may mean the end of his career as a reporter.
