Shuck is squarebound! All praise Shuck!
This 168 page trade paperback collects the first four issues (plus covers) of Shuck Comics AND includes 48 pages of new material (originally slated for issues #5 and #6).
Chris Allen describes Shuck in his Breakdowns column: 'It’s like Promethea meets Little Lulu, and quite beguiling.' Shuck is a demon who used to be in the business of guarding souls. Wearing an old man mask to hide his goat-faced nature and to fit into his new retired lifestyle, Shuck lives in a house next door to little Thursday Friday, her mom and her talking cat Jamara. The mask doesn't help him hide and Shuck is drawn into the netherworld he thought he had left behind. Adventure ensues.
With a foreword by Jeff Smith.
This trade paperback is published by Top Shelf Productions and is available online and at comics shows and conventions, available for ordering in Diamond's Star catalog and on retail shelves.
ISBN: 1-891830-47-3
