Hot off the heels of Free Comic Book Day's #0 issue, acclaimed writer/artist Mark Spears brings you the fantastic fifth installment in his record-breaking hit indie series! The group of kids rush to a nearby gas station, eager to call the sheriff and report the terrifying site they saw at Ol' Man Crowley's place. But they're not alone. Hiding in the shadows, a savage werewolf is watching—and it's not about to let them leave alive. Meanwhile, Igor visits his green-skinned guest upstairs and decides it's time for a change. Taking matters into his own hands, he gives her a much-needed haircut—one that will leave her looking as bold and rebellious as ever. (This is a Keenspot publication.)
