Oh, this is cool! Fun and snarky, with the potential for gore. Four teenage girls, desperate to get to a Janis Joplin concert, try giving tours of a creepy road for cash. I'd not really call it haunted, because the creatures - including some very disturbing humanoid dog things with faces that remind me of hyenas - seem to be a little too carnivorous to be ghosts. Naturally the first sightseeing attempt goes pear-shaped, and three boys on the verge of being shipped out to Vietnam disappear while the girls panic and run back to town.
Having just read another horror comic series that was, frankly, not all that great, this is a welcome change. Just see what clarity and characterisation can do!
I'm looking forward to reading the rest. Luckily, I have them.
