Story, Art and Cover by Roman Dirge. After four issues it's time for a death in the family. And we're not talking about a case of mild death where a character comes back after a year or so, no longer dead. We're talking dead-dead. Dead as a doornail dead, the pushing up daisies kind of dead. And Roman swears blind it's sticking, 'no one's curing this dose of the deads,' said he. But who will it be? Will it be Lenore, the titular star of the comic, or maybe Ragamuffin, her stalwart and loyal companion? Or perhaps it's that new, good-looking crewmember dressed in the red shirt. There's only one way to find out! 32 pages, full color. Cover price $3.99.
