CAULDRON OF HORROR #4: MORE CRYPTIC TALES

AC's Cauldron of Horror #4 crashes from its crypt to serve four, absorbing chapters that prove as eerie as they are creepy. 

Two of the chapters connect, presenting the sultry cowgirl, Djustine (of Tales of the Twisted West fame), returning for monster-hunting action. (Watch her tangle with Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and werewolves galore!) The in-between tales cater to a ravenous killer in old France and a movie-star bloodsucker who gets a little too comfortable for her own good (each equipped with a swell, surprise ending). 

The artistic talents for Cauldron #4 come from Mark Heike, Bill Black, Chris Allen (for "Stakeout"), Enrico Teodorani, Andrea Bulgarelli and Luigi Sinscalchi (for "Monsters," "Beware, Djustine is Coming" and "Paris 1830"). These innovative creators are uninhibited in bringing the enclosed terrors to full, shocking life.    

For fans of horror anthologies, Cauldron #4 is one to seize, in particular considering Djustine's resurgence. Who knows? If we're lucky, this could turn into an ongoing, Cauldron thing. 

BTW: I procured my copy of Cauldron #4 at Steve's Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Rd, Village Commons in Lawrenceville, NJ: a fruitful hub, jammed with wall-to-wall amazement.  

And remember, folks, Cauldron #5 is coming soon. From the looks of it, we're in for a torsion of long legs and long tentacles! I can only imagine what other weird, sensual wonders are in store.
