1st printing. Collects Seance in the Asylum (2024 Dark Horse) #1-4. Written by Clay McLeod Chapman. Art by Leonardo Marcello Grassi. Cover by Andrea Mutti. 1865. The Civil War finally reaches its grueling end. Soldiers returning from the frontline come home broken, their minds shattered. An influx of patients overwhelms The Ashcroft Hospital, an asylum in upstate New York. Dr. John James Templeton is busy developing a radical new theory: spiritualism-the act of communicating with the dead-is its own form of therapy. What better way to draw out these mental maladies then with a little assistance from the other side? Templeton enlists Alicia Wilkinson, a medium who as a young girl established herself as a sought-after conduit capable of contacting the dead... but her own past continues to haunt her. Softcover, 96 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.
