“The Girl Called Cthulhu – Part 01”

Houdini is dead, and his wife suspects murder! Will the detectives at Woodcock & Son Private Investigation have enough time to follow up on all of Bess’s leads? No, but Woodcock’s daughter, Minky, sure does. But first, she has to wrap up a case involving the Beast himself, one Aleister Crowley.

Is it possible the world’s most notorious man was actually a victim of character assassination? Has Harry Houdini been faithful to his wife? Will H.P. Lovecraft finish writing Houdini’s book The Cancer of Superstition? Collect the series to find out!

Reviewer Notes

Aleister Crowley is a pussy cat! Harry Houdini, not such a stand-up guy! Down is up, up is down. Welcome to the bizarre world of Minky Woodcock and the inner workings of the occult.

Titan Comics has a history of picking the crème de la crème of stories to bring their readers. Writer/Artist Cynthia Von Buhler’s work here is no exception. I truly enjoyed this comic book from cover to cover. It is apparent that Buhler thoroughly researched her characters and their various pitfalls within the time of 1926. Most comics I have read involving historical personalities have been slanted at best. Not here! That’s why I give issue #1 five out of five stars.
