Reviewed by Heath RowBatton Lash has been publishing this black-and-white independent comic book series for 10 years. Originally titled
Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre, the series followed its existence as a comic strip, which debuted 25 years ago. Despite the comic's history, this is the first issue I've read. With nods to Will Eisner and Dan DeCarlo, this 28-page anniversary issue is told from the perspective of the building in which Wolff & Byrd have their office, 13 Court Street in Brooklyn. The storyline addresses the other tenants of the building, as well as a hunchback, Vulcan's Mirror, a wizard, and a werewolf. While well drawn, the story isn't really my cup of tea. That said, the inclusion of an active letter column and fan art is a nice nod to the series' long run — and long-time readers.
