HARRY HOUDINI VS. ADOLF HITLER...

Post by Dwight L. MacPherson »

And the winner squares off against Satan!

Sound a bit over-the-top? It certainly should.

ABRA CADAVER: THE AFTERLIFE ADVENTURES OF HARRY HOUDINI is the title of my new book from Dead Dog Entertainment.
If you are a fan of pulp, horror, mystery or action-adventure--I think this is the book for you!

I could blather on forever--but rather than doing that, here's what others are saying about ABRA CADAVER:

"There's no escaping this one!" – Justiniano (Artist DC’s THE CREEPER, DAY OF VENGEANCE)

"Abra Cadaver has it all; a diabolically devious plot cunningly constructed
by spirited writer MacPherson and magnificently realised by the artistic
thaumaturge that is Mr. Exes. Supernaturally good stuff!" - John Reppion & Leah Moore (Writers WildStorm’s WILD GIRL, ALBION)

“Abra Cadaver rocks. Dwight MacPherson's take on Harry Houdini is inspired--investigating the afterlife, Harry talks himself into a one-way ticket to hell. Mr. Exes' art is a gruesomely delightful blend of horror and cartoony. Unique story, unique art.”- Mike Baron (Writer NEXUS, PUNISHER, NIGHT CLUB)

"Love Mignola, EC Comics and Bernie Wrightson, but hate pretenders? Then Abra Cadaver is the book for you! MacPherson has put together an air-tight story filled with wit and intelligence not usually found in popular entertainment and Mr. Exes frames it all perfectly. Abra Cadaver is page after page of fun and Adventure." - Jose L. Torres (Writer Markosia's THE HUNGER)

“Dwight MacPherson has done something delightfully original which needs to be acknowledged as such by as many people as possible.”- Comixfan

Thank you, my friend!
Sorry for my extended absence. Between my computer being fried in an electical storm and the overabundance of work on my plate, it's severely limited my forum time. :(

Odin! *salutes*

It's available for preorder now through your local comic shop.
Simply take the Diamond Order Code to your comic guy and he'll do the rest. :)

yogi set the bar pretty high with his nazis-in-hell epic keeper of the book.. but an eldritch talent like dwighthulu might find a way to take the premise even further

Thanks, man! I appreciate your confidence in me!
That's a cool story! :shock:
I think you'll really dig this story, though, JJ. It's been in my head since I was 11, so I've had a lot of time to really flush it out and make it what I've dreamed it would be.
I guess we'll see... :-D

heheh sorry, that was just me jumping on the yogi-bashwagon. :P very sarcastic and unbecoming, i know. but there's so much peer pressure, what're ya gonna do...

anyway i will keep an eye out for abra cadaver in my local shops. by any chance, were you ever aware of 'pug dog comics' or perhaps 'glitch studios' on the web? a few friends and i put together some book projects, but never really found the artists we wanted, so we pretty much let things slide into suspended animation. but we were online for a few years, and did some limited cross-promotion.. just wondering if you ever heard of us in your travels

Can newsagents order this thing in, too? Ireland's kinda in the hole for comic shops. We have two. Miles and miles away from me.

Sarcasm?! Here?!! You must be joking! :wink:

Cool. I'd appreciate it if you'd check it out!
I haven't heard of either of those studios. Then again, I've only been doing this for three years. :)

See?! Stories like yours make me angry that comics went to Direct Sales. GRRR. :x
I'd say that the best choice would be to order comics online. They'll deliver anywhere--except the moon and Yuggoth. ;)
