A very, very Greystone Halloween comic, Part 2

Halloween 2001 was uneasy. The month before, we had suffered all of the fright we could handle. That’s why Mac decided to throw a party — to get out of a rut. In the excitement, an invitation gets delivered to the wrong address — to that of an actual witch. The guest and Argus make a love connection… and hilarity, as always, ensued. Comics-adAll week I’m going to be highlighting a Halloween comic storylines from years past. This first arc is from the very early days of Greystone Inn. I’ll also take just a moment to tell you about my special Halloween comic that collects the best Halloween-themed stories from 13 — thirteen — years of my comics. You’ll get spooky specials for Greystone Inn, Evil Inc and Phables — 80 pages of chuckles and chills! And all for only $1.99 at DriveThruComics.
