A very, very Greystone Halloween comic 1

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. Mac and Argus discover the rowhouse they share is featured on a tour of haunted sites in Philadelphia. This is how they discover their ghost roommate. The ghost would reappear years later to play a very important role in the wedding of Mac and Sam. 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. Patreon_textbugOR… you could support my ongoing work in comics through Patreon. It doesn’t take a huge commitment. You can become a Patreon supporter for as little as $1 a month. But if you sign up to back me at the five dollar level, you’ll get this Halloween comic — and every past and upcoming Evil Inc monthly eComic — for FREE. And don’t stop at the end of that storyline… it leads directly into a storyline in which Argus discovers his lawyer is a vampire.

One more Halloween treat…

Real-Housewives-web-template_2 Inkster-mockup-nicole-2I decided to upload my Real Housewives of Transylvania illustration and make it available as a T-shirt and posters! InksterInc has a great price on T-shirts ($20), and at Redbubble, you can get the design on a wide variety of styles — from hoodies to scoop necks and V-necks (which should make the Dracula in your life very happy).
