Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse

Ben Templesmith’s progress as a comic illustrator since 30 Days of Night is apparent in this debut of his character Wormwood, an undead troubleshooter, but Templesmith also shows he’s a pretty good writer. Wormwood and his mechanical drinking buddy, Mr. Pendulum, face off against fungal abominations at a strip joint for (and featuring) monsters. It appears that the maggot keeping court in his eye socket animates Wormwood, so he takes a fair amount of damage before vanquishing the unwelcome infestations possessing the joint’s patrons. Templesmith defines panel actions clearly, and uses a warmer palette than one might be used to seeing from him. It’s a fun lark.
