Wormwood

Gentleman Corpse #1

2006

You've had your first Taster of Wormwood, and now its time for a full refill! Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Singularity 7, Fell) creates an all-eerie and humorous series. Things are awakening in the city. Things that have a nasty habit of leaving mutilated bodies in their wake and it all reeks of demons and dark gods up to no good. Owing a favor to his lazy ghost cop buddy Trotsky, Wormwood, the gentleman corpse and his oddball entourage are brought in to investigate the case (or at least hopefully not stuff it up too much.)

Gentleman Corpse #2

2006

Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Fell) continues with his new all-eerie and humorous series. The bodies continue to pile up as Wormwood and his oddball entourage continue their investigation into just what has been gestating inside many of the victims and who's behind it. Well, at least they would be if you could get them out of the pub for more than five minutes.

Wormwood

Gentleman Corpse #12

2011

Wormwood is still kicking, Mr. Pendulum is in pieces, the Earthly Dimension has a few bruises and the squidly things are rather annoyed. Not that they're ever happy, you understand, but this time they're particularly angry and have a little something up their sleeves. Those cephalopods can fight dirty when they want to! With writing and art courtesy of Spike-TV Scream Award-winner and Eisner-award nominee Ben Templesmith.

Gentleman Corpse, Vol. 1: Birds, Bees, Blood & Beer

2007

Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Singularity 7, Fell) creates an all-eerie and humorous new series. Things are awakening in the city. Things that have a nasty habit of leaving mutilated bodies in their wake and it all reeks of demons and dark gods up to no good. Owing a favor to his lazy ghost cop buddy Trotsky, Wormwood, the gentleman corpse and his oddball entourage are brought in to investigate the case (or at least hopefully not stuff it up too much.) This collection compiles the first miniseries (issues #1-4), the original "Taster" issue, and covers, sketches, pin-ups and other cocktail napkin scribblings from Templesmith.
