Keep (2005) comic books

F. Paul Wilson (w); Matthew Smith (a&c). The keep had stood empty in the Transylvanian Alps for 500 years. No one knew who built it, or why. But on the eve of WW II, German soldiers move in and awaken something-something hungry... something as merciless as the SS einsatzkommandos accompanying them. Noted horror writer F. Paul Wilson adapts his own New York Times bestselling novel and is joined by Matthew Smith (Hellboy) on art in this, the first installment of the story that the Providence Journal called, 'A battle between good and evil that staggers the imagination, with an ending as exciting as any horror fan could wish!' Cover price $3.99.
