WORMWOOD GENTLEMAN CORPSE TP (2025)

"Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Fell) creates an all-eerie and humorous new series. Things are awakening in the city. Things that have a nasty habit of leaving mutilated bodies in their wake and it all reeks of demons and dark gods up to no good. Owing a favor to his lazy ghost cop buddy Trotsky, Wormwood, the gentleman corpse and his oddball entourage are brought in to investigate the case (or at least hopefully not stuff it up too much). This collection compiles the first miniseries, the original 'Taster' issue, and covers, sketches, pin-ups and other cocktail napkin scribblings from Templesmith"

"In 'It Only Hurts When I Pee,' the second collection of Eisner Award-nominated storyteller Ben Templesmith's Wormwood, the tale of the Gentleman Corpse move beyond the simply bizarre (see Wormwood, Vol. 1) into the sublime lunacy of Lephrechaunia. Wormwood and his eclectic posse search for the Leprechaun Queen, the only being capable of lifting the terminal curse that our hero has contracted-but if the rabid leprechauns and dimension travel hasn't already set your head spinning, that'll be taken care of by the Squidmen, a terrifying collective of 'gatherers' hell-bent on ingesting everything they get their tentacles on. Did we mention they've had it out for Wormwood ever since he committed an unspeakable genocide against their species? This collection includes issues #5-7, along with a special one-shot, all written and drawn by Templesmith, whose breakthrough art brought the original 30 Days of Night to unlife. "
