Abe Sapien, Volume 9: Lost Lives and Other Stories by Mike Mignola, Scott Allie, John Arcudi

ldyliberty's review

A good collection of Abe Sapien shorts. 'The Land of the Dead' is a well done straight forward vampire-Mayan god adventure. 'Witchcraft and Demonology' is a creepy character study of a very human monster - Santiago Caruso's art in this fits the story perfectly. 'The Ogopogo' is also a story about humans behaving worse than the 'monsters', although with lower stakes than usual. 'Subconscious' is an odd story with some very pretty art by Mark Nelson. 'Icthyo Sapien' is a look at an early adventure of Langdon Everett Caul, who would one day become Abe Sapien.
