Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden Present Baltimore: The Play


Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden are keen on comics. That keenness extends to Baltimore: The Play, a new comic on sale November 21.

In Baltimore: The Play, a mad playwright puts on a Grand Guignol featuring actors that are real vampires.

Following that, Lord Baltimore will be in a double features The Widow and the Tank on sale February 20, 2013. “The Widow” concerns a woman whose husband and war buddies have returned from the war as vampires and begun preying on their hometown. In “The Tank,” Baltimore learns of a wrecked tank in a field as he is passing through the war-ravaged countryside. People believe there is a vampire living inside that has been eating cattle and attacking locals. When Baltimore checks it out, it turns out to be true…to a point.

Add in that Baltimore: The Inquisitor features the origian of Judge Duvic when it hits stores July 19, 2013. That's a lot of action in Bodymore.
