The Deadman (2026) #3

Plot

THE DEADMAN IN HELL! OR... The third edition of this morbid disquisition concerning the attrition/detrition of the human condition, which, in the weekly tradition, boasts a four-color exhibition on some printer's emission. Here, by order of an anonymous optician, watch closely this vision of our titular apparition (armed, you'll remember, with fresh erudition) try and survive — by another's volition — a dire and dangerous mission through the hissin’, Stygian conditions of putrid and pockmarked Perdition--a kind of new rendition (depicted as a living, breathing country-sized conniption), which is rich in its list of sick compositions: e.g., reason's egregious abolition; a pyrotechnic passel of pernicious seditions; hideous, bulging buck-toothed dentition; admittedly ambitious demonic deglutition... of gargoyles and ghouls in decomposition... not to mention an array of impossible physical positions that a physician might consider the work of magicians. So please accept our contrition for this rude imposition, our addled transmission this ungodly, offset-press parturition--one that we wish some brave obstetrician would bring to fruition its quick decommission.
