Publication notes

Volume 2. A terrific and acclaimed horror anthology series, with lots of big names having nasty fun. Especially noteworthy is Jaxon's 11-part, 126-page "Bulto…The Cosmic Slug", about a space creature's effect on the people of the ancient Southwest.

From the Grand Comics Database.
